It's like Clinton said----"It's the economy stupid." If the economy stays bad, and I see no signs of recovery, Romney will be voted in by a landslide. Everybody always votes with their wallet.

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.
Yes, the popular vote is a tossup at this stage but the EC favors Obama.

No it doesn't and all the links to sites that are making guesses doesn't prove a thing. These predictions will be shown to be wildly wrong. Romney is going to win not only a landslide in the popular vote but an electoral vote as well. Bookmark what I've just said because I'll be reminding you all in November.

Will he be chaining himself to the Resolute Desk? I hope he can hold it (and learn something) while Romney does the job Obama couldn't, wouldn't, and didn't do.

From a Cali brother, I second that emotion!

Most of the poles showing Obama ahead are from highly skewed figures, such as 75% liberal/25% conservative. The mainscream media is sh%tting in their pants right now. Their "guy" is about to get his arse handed to him, along with his hat. But hey, Gas prices are going down... $1.89 when he took office, $3.41 now. Electric rates are up just 34%, commodities up 22-78%, ACTUAL UNEMPLOYMENT rate 15%, so we should be thrilled and vote for more of the same... right?

Wishful thinking.

This country will not elect a Mormon 1%-er with offshore accounts in Switzerland and the Caymans. They just won't.

It's amusing seeing the GOP talking themselves into Romney as a candidate.

He can't squat there - I doubt that President Romney will allow Barry and Michelle to continue living there after the inaugaration.

Maybe he will join the household staff - he will be in need of a job.
