Do you think Obama will be reelected in 2012

Do you think Obama will be reelected

  • Yes, in a landslide

    Votes: 33 61.1%

  • No, he's going to lose in a landslide.

    Votes: 21 38.9%
  • Total voters
    54
Well I don't know about a landslide but that might happen. Republicans continue to follow the extreme of their party against the main stream of thought. They are too clouded with frothy fervor for Palin and Bachmann to realize those girls will not win the hearts and minds of the rest of us including many independents.
R. Paul might trigger that unsettled feeling many of us have with how things are gong sending people to the voting booth. Mitt Romney could hold his own in a debate imho. I doubt either will win the nomination, so Obama it is, for four more years.
But look on the bright side Republicans, if the country follows form there will be a restlessness again in 2016. Then you can have that perky eared doe eyed kid Ryan all primed and ready.

based on the current batch of candidates for the GOP, Obama is likely to win with at least 5% of the electoral and more of the popular vote.

btw, you ARE aware, that opinions cannot be wrong...right?

So who is this Republican candidate you talk so convincely?

Just thinking you can put up anyone with a R next to their name is going to get you the same results the Dems had against Bush his second term.

With an economy that Newt calls a depression and high unemployment Obama will not win

So, if the GOP doesn't win, that means that the GOP candidate was worse than dog **** on the pavement. Gotcha.

Using Newt to prove a point. Obama has failed. You refuse to admit that. 18,000 jobs last month shows the economy is still recession like.
 
I think that the wager winning should go to DP. imho

You provide terrible options so I am not voting. I think Obama will win, but I's never good to be over confident. I am cautiously optimistic about his chances for reelection, incumbency seems favor most presidents.

Hope for example is: I bet very few people now think that Medicare isn’t government run and funded by taxes. However, a year ago, I met two at a small Tea Baggers demonstration who were using Medicare, and liked it very much, did not want it messed with or made into a government run program! I spent some time disabusing them of what they had been authoritatively informed prior to the demonstration. It takes a few years for the general public to become informed in sufficient detail to vote rationally.
 
At this point, I think that Obama will win. I do no suspect that it will be a lopsided election though.

My personal anecdotal experience listening to people I am around physically irl at this time, is that despite the job as Obama has done, the GOP field of candidates and politicos has done more to keep their names in the spotlight than Obama's record. And, fwiw, having the spotlight on some of them has not been very helpful to the GOP cause--helpful to the individual's cause of gaining media exposure, but not for the party cause of appearing competent to govern.

ymmv

Lobsided in what sense?

They thought Carter was going to be reelected too until the debates. Then the tables turned. Obama is turning out to be worse than Carter.
