Totally an over-dramatic thread title, but who do you think will win? I’m really curious. For statistic purposes, really. Without any bickering, banting, ranting, insulting, offending, defending, or anything of the likes.
Just the person you believe and a brief reason why. The name of the candidate who you believe will win the US Presidency of 2012.
If you would be so kind as to put the number you are who picked that person.
Ex.
Romney 1
Romney 2
Obama 1
Romney 3
Obama 2
etc.
I pick Obama. I’m totally not voting, I hate them both but I believe Obama is going to win. Hey wait, I’m not old enough to vote! :smack:
I can’t believe that after people have had the opportunity to see the real Mitt Romney, as opposed to the fabricated caricature that the Obama team tried to present, that they would not conclude that his experience is more apt to benefit us than 4 more years of Obama.
I’ve thought it was gonna be Mr. Obama up until the last week or so, but I fear it’s gonna go to Mr. Romney. Seems like he has enough momentum in Ohio to put him over the top.
I still have no idea what Romney believes, or what a president Romney would actually do. And I think it’s the fault of Romney and his team that many folks would agree with this sentiment. I don’t look for what the other “side” tries to say about their opponent - this can be discounted. I look for what the man says about himself. Romney has too many sides; he tried to tell too many different groups the things they wanted to hear. He shifted from the primaries to the general in a huge way.
Yeah, but that’s true of any candidate running against an incumbent. the candidate first has to win the primary by catering more to the right (or left) than they would normally.
Yes, that’s true. I think the problem this cycle was that the moderate Republicans are fewer in number, and the far right “tea party” Republicans are more numerous. This meant that the candidate had to go WAY far right to get the nomination. This made is tilt back to the center really, really obvious. He had to say things that were diametrically opposed to stuff he’d said just months before.
Romney’s probably an excellent, standup guy. But the things he had to do and say… jeeez.
Romney is a walking contradiction. Not only can’t he keep up with his lies, but he always, ALWAYS completely ignores questions. Never answers them and goes off topic.
