President Obama ended an intense day of campaigning on the eve of the election in the place where it all started for him -- Iowa.

"As you know, we end the day in Iowa. I know you all know this, but it was worth repeating -- this is where the journey began for President Obama," said campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki. "The state has always had a special place for him and for the First Lady in their hearts. The location where we will be tonight -- his hold room is actually our old Iowa campaign headquarters."
