President Mitt Romney will take office in Jan.
I haven't been wrong since Nixon, and I believe Obama will win another term, we shall see who's record will be broken in November.

I think people will finally see that considering the horrid economy her inherited he hasn't done too bad. If he is making headway, why go back to a group that has repeated run the economy into the ground? I doubt we could afford 4 years of Romney.
Would that be the same horrid economy Obama created when he was a senator?

I base my prediction on the Electorial College vote. Despite everything, Obama still has an advantage in the EC which is the only vote that counts. Romney may very well win the popular vote. It will be close. Almost 50/50 because we are roughly a 50/50 nation. But the fact is that Obama has many more ways to cobble 271 EC votes than Romney does. Romney needs to win 2 of 3 of Ohio, Penn, Mich and I do not see anyway he can win 2 of them. And that is assuming he wins Florida and he may not win there. Things can happen in the next 3 months that can swing the numbers but as of now, my bet is still on 4 more years for Barrack Obama.

I was wrong only once. I thought Gore would beat Bush.

I understand your method, but BHO is in for the same last few months slippage Jimmy Carter suffered, unless job gains get past the level of this last quarter manyfold. Many who voted against Carter almost pittied his ineptitude as one would Ted Baxter, and more jobs reports not many times better will do the same for BO. People do not vote for laughinstock presidents, espcially the ever fluid independents.

Obama may lose but if I had to bet right now, I would bet on him to win. Again simply because of the Electorial College math. If it were simply on the popular vote, I would give a very slight advantage to Mittens Romney.

Time will tell, and I will not be shocked at 330 electroal votes for either man. When one is in the worst recovery of our lives, one gets a Carter-An election that appeared close but broke away late. I suspect 2012 will be the same way, and I'd be pssimistic if a BO fan w/o a million new jobs during the next 4 monthly reports.

Obama created an economy as a Senator... wow! I don't even think you could sell that to the desperate of the Right... I'm a little surprised you actually wrote it out... Cognitive dissonance?
