Last time I looked, Romney was up by one. Certainly that doesn't mean he will win, but it does mean that it is a contest. Assuming Obama wins, we can come up with lots of reasons why. Assuming Romney wins, we can come up with lots of reasons why.
I'm curious, when you do get around to posting, would you do me the favor of explaining why Obama should win? I already know about all the terrible things Romney is charged with, no need to go through that again, but how has, or how will, Obama help with the economy, individual rights versus the federal government, foreign policy, or any other major issue?

Simple, why Obama will win.
Debates are upcoming, and Mitt will speak...

Obama wins because Mitt can't convince Americans that he is going to do a better job.
It's all about the economy and the economy point blank sucks. Romney should be winning hands downs. This should have been one of the easiest slam dunks in history. Simply put, the Republicans put the wrong horse in the race.
End of story.

Its all in the numbers...He needs 65 million votes
He will get 10 million from the gays because he once said he likes gay marriages, doesn't matter if he really does or not... in four years most will still not be married.
He will get 40 million from people who think he will give them entitlements. They will not get them , but he said they will and he will get their vote.
That leaves only 15 million that for some reason think he will do something that he didn't do this last four years...now we know the next four years will be about as bad as the last, but he will get their vote...
BAM!! 65 million votes....

Thank you for posting, may I comment? It seems as though you're saying we should vote for Obama, because he will use federal powers left and right to imprison lots of people. Then four years later, we can elect a Republican to fix it. I may have misunderstood your point, I was confused in spots. But why are you sure there will be an election four years from now, if Obama's busy locking everybody up? Why not go Republican now?
See, it's just that I must be confused.edit on 18-9-2012 by charles1952 because: Add paragraph
I don't remember precisely, but didn't third-party candidate Ross Perot get about 15% of the national vote? He left no legacy or movement behind, the system continued, unperturbed. How do we get to 30% when the nation is so strongly polarized and dedicated to their candidate? Right now, undecided and third-party combined is at less than 10%. I can't see how that will change significantly.
A vote for an independent throws a real spanner in the works, but it has to be an en-masse vote for an independent candidate to really mean something,
I assume that if the beast is hungry it will just take more. A hungry beast is an angry beast. I don't want to be around if it gets really mad. It will seriously hurt the first million or so people that it gets mad at. And if it does die, what then? Who picks up the pieces? Islam? China? Russia? Mexico? All of the above? I don't care for that very much either.
Starve the beast and screw it up until it dies.
