Thread: August Prediction Poll! Who will win - Obama or Romney?

Romney bought this election (the primaries)....he must have out spent Santorum tenfold ...and more !


Do we need reform in this area ?

It depends on many things, but either way it will be close. I prefer neither of them win. We'd actually probably do better without a president.. and congress.

Those on the right saying Romney isn't 'right' enough are in some sort of dream land if they think this country is EVER going to elect another bible-thumping moron. It's just not going to happen.

Exactly my thoughts. Whatever extreme conservatives think of their "ideal candidate", a practical politicians has to be a moderate, one that appeals to the majority of voters.

I am the opposite of Josie, I was leaning towards Romney a few months ago, but his image has been battered relentlessly and it looks like Obama will win, though it will be close (like most elections)

One that follows the Constitution, remembers they are there for the country and it's citizens, and doesn't look at politics as a career.

No one can really know, the election is still months away. Sorry, I put too much smartass in my coffee this morning.

I'm with you. I used to think that, because NOTHING sticks to Obama (thanks MSM propaganda tools), he was pretty much a shoe-in.

However: No President has been re-elected with a record as abysmal as Obama's. Ever. Even with a fawning, adoring media, most people know that things suck and they aren't getting much better. People have also forgotten (or they never heard in the first place) about Obama's numerous attacks on everyone to the right of Teddy Kennedy. Christians, whites, gun owners, veterans, pretty much the heart of America has been under attack by this President. People may have forgotten that fact, but Romney and the SuperPACS will remind them. Early and often.

We need a President who can get us back to business, and everyone with a properly functioning brain understands that Obama isn't the guy for the job. At. All. Romney has "a sterling record at Bain Capital", according to Bill Clinton, and Bain's job was to fix broken companies. His skill and experience will be invaluable in the coming years, whereas Obama, who never ran so much as a lemonade stand, STILL doesn't understand how business works.

I'm predicting a Romney win, and I'm hoping and praying for a Romney win. Four years of Obama Unleashed would be devastating to our Nation, and most thinking people understand that fact. We'll just have to see how many welfare leeches ObamaNation can get to the polls, I don't underestimate their ability to promise lazy people more of other people's money.

.... Bush?

1. 2 failed wars.
2. high oil prices.
3. housing crisis.
4. 4,000 dead Americans in Iraq/Afghanistan.
5. 3,000 dead American civilians on the largest attack on US soil since Pearl Harbor
6. Weak candidates for SCOTUS.
7. Plame affair.
8. Katrina/Rita
9. Patriot Act

The list of things goes on...

I mean yeah... you can claim all you want about Obama's "abysmal" record, but there have been worse presidents in recent memory.

Only if you are a partisan hack.

Unless Romney can figure out how to run a campaign, he has little chance.

Obama will take the lead once the debates come around....
