I hope not! I cannot understand why anyone with integrity and a work ethic would re-elect that man. I can understand if you are one of the people getting "free" stuff (and it's in NO WAY "free") that you would want to continue that....but for regular, working people, a vote for Obama is a vote for failure, as a country and individually. Why would anyone want that?

Is there as much enthusiasm for Obama among the general population as there is on city-data forum?
Well, the polls are basically 50/50 - so that's half the electorate.

An equally valid question is: Is there any enthusiasm for Romney anywhere?

Mitt Romney wants to get rid of entitlements and public assistance? Funny, I must have missed that talking point.

This is what folks fail to see. Independents make up less than 10% of the population.

It is probably people from the Obama campaign trying to be positive and try to win some losers over, but i doubt that will succeed, because City- Data posters are too smart aside from the Obama campaign workers on this forum!

They are all over the internet trying to post as much trash as they can...easy for them to do with Obama free phones, no jobs and no taxes to pay for them and some are probably Union scumbags that get also paid by the Obama camp and the other day cursed out some very nice Alabama workers trying to help out in NY and NJ!

NC seems to be pretty excited and we've cast a record number of votes to prove it.

Why in the world would someone get paid to post on a public forum when they could earn money hosting a blog. This statement is ridiculous, unless perhaps you have something you'd like to tell us regarding your employer?

How long is the economy going to be in "recovery"? Another 4 years looks like if he does get elected. Utopian statism fails everywhere it is tried and it will continue to fail if that is the policy. The more costs and regulations you pile on citizens means less income and less time to be productive and do great things.
The GOP has become so insanely intolerant that they cannot even stand other Republicans. Hence, the term RINO and the little shoppe of horrors we all witnessed this spring.

Obama and America will do just fine as soon at the TP bozos get sent home and some sensible replacements are located (by this I mean intelligent Republicans or Democrats. Birthers need not apply), chiefly people with the cajones to tell Grover Norquist is told to go %$#$ himself and the intelligence to know you don't do your scientific reading at Breitbart.com.

There is more enthusiasm now than in 2008. The Democrats haven't been as noisy about their support as the Republicans until very late, but they are very solid. The party has much closer relationship with it's voting base than the Republicans now; they have been working on building them since 2004.
Ironically, the Dems learned chapter and verse from the Reagan big tent. They are even more inclusionary now than in 2008.

Personally speaking, I'm tired now of the incessant back and forth and all the dunning that's happening on both sides. I am very relieved the election is tomorrow, and I think we will all be relieved it's over, win or lose.

All I see where I am are Romney signs and this area---I am on vacation---is usually liberal. All the signs I saw at home were Romney signs on everything with a few Obama ones.
