[Buzzword]

Obama will win, conservatives will rant and rave for weeks after and/or demand multiple recounts, and Romney will go back to being obscenely rich.

Only now he won't have to pretend he cares for anyone else any longer.

 

[sky.]

I kind of think Obama will win. As inept as he is and the fact that Romney isn't leading by a landslide is perplexing to me. I guess people love a liar and don't care what Obama says and does.

Vice Versa

To me it seems that Obama's victory was basically assured the moment the Extreme Right decided that Romney was too "liberal."

Nice use of the Quote feature.

He is too liberal but, I do not think that will matter so, we will see tomorrow now won't we? The rest here is just speculation now isn't it?

Nice use of the Quote feature.

Thank You

We're screwed either way because regardless of who wins, the government will still be serving the wealthy elite at everyone else's expense. If Obama wins, he may slow, slightly, our headlong rush into plutocracy, and if Romney wins, he'll surely speed it up. But neither of them will do anything to change this self-destructive coarse we're on.

Obama will win right around 290 electoral votes. The popular vote will be close, but not the closest in history.

Third-party candidates will win exactly 0 electoral votes.

Pundits on the right will yammer about the supposed "immanent destruction of America." Pundits on the left will yammer about a "decisive victory." Both will be wrong, but will be heralded by their various ditto-head contingencies.

I've not seen any polls for how the race is going in Wisconsin 1, but I see very little reason to believe Ryan is going home after this election. He's still running for his seat in the House, and I'll be surprised if he doesn't win it. However, it looks like Obama's going to win the Wisconsin electoral votes.

The big question for me is will the Fiscal Cliff be averted?

 

[The Barbarian]

If I had to be my life on it, I'd say Obama will win. But I don't think anyone knows for sure right now.

 

[CabinetMaker]

A republican or a democrat will win and middle America will lose (more money).

 

[Granite]

I think Obama wins a close one.

Uh... it's typically the Democrats who fight over the results.

and Romney will go back to being obscenely rich.

What's wrong with being rich?

According to your Christ, a rich man has a lot harder time following God. I've yet to meet a rich person (male or female) who didn't love their money.

It's been a plutocracy since before I was born.

Genesis 13:2 Abram was very rich because he had livestock, silver, and gold.

Agreed. The elites are the winners here. Neither candidate's going to do anything for the rest of us.

Ah, for the old days...:execute:

 

[woopah]

what do you guys think are the chances of a third party getting 5% of the vote?7

I may be old ... but I'm not quite old enough to have met Abraham.

It's possible that all third parties combined may get 5% this election. Any one 3rd party getting 5%? Nah.

Ah, for the old days...:execute:

First they came for the King. I wasn't the King, so I said nothing.

Then they came for the politicians. I wasn't a politician, so I said nothing.

Then they came for the lawyers. I wasn't a lawyer, but I've been cheated by plenty, so I said "Yeah! That's how you do it!"
