Is it only Republicans that are dissatisfied with Obama? Or is it anyone with two eyes who does not live in a cave? Because i'm no Republican... i was a huge Bill Clinton supporter... but i am sick of hearing the excuses from the Obama adminstration for their inability to get the job done.
The chances of that happening are slim to none...and "slim" just left town

Default How many dissatisfied Dems will turn on Obama?

Not enough to matter in the election's outcome.

I'll pass you the vomit bucket. Presidents do not create jobs. 10+ years of Bush 43 TAX CUTS for the JOB CREATORS, (Obama the right wing sympathathizer went along with) designed to create and spur job growth has been a failure, WHERE ARE THE JOBS?
And if people even think Willard is a job creator, forget it, he buys/takes over failing businesses, lays off people, and then guts the businesses. Willard is interested in one thing, and one thing only, $$$$$$$$ to promote the RW agenda, so more corporations can get more $$$$$$$$, it's called corporate greed and corporate welfare.

Who needs ads when you've got Romney's own video clips, statements and speeches? If I were Obama I would save a lot of money by just rerunning them as they are.
I'll second that!

You're under the delusion that voting for a Republican, especially one like Romney, is going to improve the situation.

The OP said obama did not get the job done. If presidents do not create or help create jobs, then why did obama promise it? Why did he say that the unemployment rate was going to be under 8% by the end of his first term?

Romney has saved jobs by investing in businesses. When a business grows they hire people. That should not be such a difficult concept. Some investments worked and some did not. Most did. For the ones that didn't, was he supposed to adopt the workers, take them home with him, and take care of them for life?

If he cares SSOOOOOOO much about makeing $$$$$$$ then why didn't he just stay at Bain and keep rolling it in? Why would he give his inheritance to charity? Why would he leave Bain and help the struggling Olympics? Why would he become Governor and give up his salary? You may just not like him, just can't stand Republicans, or are just in love with obama, but the descriptions you are giveing of Romney do not reflect his actions.

Not to speak for the Democrats (I am not one myself), but I'm pretty confident that none of them are losing sleep over it.

Since Obama governs vaguely left of center, I don't think those people are going to choose Romney. There might be a few liberals peeling off to vote for Jill Stein because they don't think Obama is liberal enough, I suppose, but in swing states they may resist because they run the risk of getting Romney if they do that.

I don't think this is an election where a lot of people are going to be crossing party lines.

I dont see that. Yes the ones you mentioned may vote green/rainbow party , but lets face it , thats not a real vote.
I see many dems that cant stand the guy. Not liberals but centered dems. Call them Reagan democrats if ya want. Your non liberal blue collar dems who are not very politicaly active but who do vote.
