I'm not asking who you want or who should win the election, but who do you think actually will?  |

Personally, I'd have to put the money on Romney... Obama made a lot of big promises (and lies -- typical of any politician) during his first campaign, and there was a LOT of hype and excitement... Remember, "Change!" and "Yes we can!"? Well... No we didn't... and that's a significant problem for President Obama's re-election bid. A lot of original Obama voters are disillusioned with the president and his failure to deliver the "golden age" he promised America. When this happens in American politics the country looks to the other party to make them happy. The same thing went in Obama's favor after 8 years of Republican presidency under George W. Bush; the country was disillusioned with the Republican party and welcomed Obama with open arms. So I think the "smart money" is on Romney if you're betting on the election.
However, if you ask me I wish both of them would somehow lose... and go away... very far away... lol

www.gallup.com/poll/157817/election-2012-likely-voters-trial-heat-obama-romney.aspx52% Romney. 45% Obama. Neither of them have pulled away like this, yet, and usually the guy to reach 50% first wins. Thankfully it's Romney. I'm not his biggest fan, but we can't afford, in terms of $$$, four more years of Obama. Whether or not Romney is better remains to be seen, but I don't think he could be worse, even if he tried his hardest. Also blaming things on Bush is getting old. Bush had a Democrat congress from 06-08, half that stuff is their fault. And then Obama had a Democrat congress his first two years as well, and still failed to get anything done.
