The level of hate for Obama in the south is truly epic, it's going to push Romney's margins through the roof there.
I live in the South and I don't hate Obama

And thats whats skewing the national polls. I wouldn't be surprised by a 80-90% win number for Romney in some southern states, mainly Alabama, Mississippi, etc.

Its all about Ohio.

Arrogance and dishonesty doesn't appeal to me! Wish there was someone else was on the list for President!
The persuasions aka "fact checks" from the news media since day one of Obama's track record has showed that Romney will most likely win 60/40!
I'm amazed with the OP's poll that Obama is their choice to win! Obama hasn't showed any credibility that he can make the difference in the next 4 years in even reducing the national debt in half or otherwise and or improve the economy overall!
I dread the thought of being governed again by Obama in the next 4 yrs of uncertainty!
At least Romney has hopes for change like Obama did that didn't happen, but turned out for the worst during his term in office!
That's why it's time for a change in Presidency for America and it's people!

Please understand, I was not dissing the south in general. I live in the south as well and also do not hate him.

But as a southern resident, I'm sure you know that we are in the minority.

I live in Jacksonville, Fl, which is pretty much a suburb of Georgia About as South as you can get without having a twang in your voice. I don't know anyone who really hates Obama, I just know a lot of people that think he needs to do something else with his life

I think Obama will win. (Also happen to think he should, lol)

But if you look at it logically, all Obama needs is Ohio. And even if he does not win Ohio, there are other ways of taking of getting to that 270.

If Romney does not win Ohio, then he is out. I do not think there are other ways really for him.

Virgil Goode will bleed enough votes from Romney in Virginia to deliver the state, and the election, to Obama.

Thoughts?


I support Gary Johnson, and I think Mitt will win. no president has won a re-election since fdr with UE this low.
