Obama or Romney ?

[mem]

Im an aussie so I just watch the show from the outside, but Id say Obama could say nothing for the next ~2+ months and still win - Romney is just so... ugh.

[JoelKatz]

Since the current polling data shows them neck and neck, I'd say you're just making the demonstrably false assumption that everyone sees them the same way you do.

They're both a joke... But I almost hope Obama wins, just so the biggest collapse in history is at the hands of the socialist, rather than the faux-free market Romney and fake libertarian Ryan.

Sorry did I not make that abundantly clear for you ?  

regarding said polls, as in most elections it is the swing voter demographic that really counts, unfortunately you cannot poll specifically for swing voters so the polls are useless as are all polls. Just asking for individuals opinions ok

John Jackson: "It's time someone had the courage to stand up and say: I'm against those things that everybody hates."

Jack Johnson: "Now, I respect my opponent. I think he's a good man. But quite frankly, I agree with everything he just said."

John Jackson: "I say your three cent titanium tax goes too far."

Jack Johnson: "And I say your three cent titanium tax doesn't go too far enough."

*sigh* Pretty much but come on who are you voting for an independent ! ?

From the outside Obama seems to have been a rather kick ass president.
People are always gonna be pissed of with whoever's in power.
We all expect our leaders to look after us specifically, who cares about the rest of the population.
Besides being blamed for the wall street crash what else stands against everyone revoting for him?

It may be opposition propaganda, but it does seem like Romney will say anything to get elected.
And he seems to think he's smarter than the entire country:
You want to see my tax returns? You'll have to elect me first.

[Fiyasko]

They are all bad candidates, But if i HAD to pick one, It would be Obama, Atleast he's Trying to do something about USA's population.

Atleast he's Trying to do something about USA's population.

That sounds rather ominous

[skinturtle]

I'm in philippines and I know that romney is a nutjob.

Hah... now that's a good point.  Was going to vote Romney, now voting Obama!

[BoardGameCoin]

I'm seriously considering not voting... a very sad thing.

[bitcoinbear]

There are other options to vote for. I plan on voting for Johnson. (but if I had to pick between Obama and Romney I would pick Romney)

[CoinDiver]

Anyone considering not voting, should simply vote for someone other than establishment candidates. Check your state's rules. Some don't count write-ins. If your state doesn't Gary Johnson is on the ballet in all 50 states. EVEN IF YOU DON'T LIKE HIS PLATFORM, you will help send the message that we are tired of the status quo.

[ShireSilver]

Yeah, Johnson isn't going to win but I'm going to vote for him anyway. It'll at least send a message that maybe a few people will hear.

Romney isn't going to win either. A vote for him is just pointless. (I do admit a very tiny chance that Obama screws up massively several times causing a Romney win, but the likelihood is so small I'd rather chance money on the lottery.)

Exaaaaactly! So few people get this... I really hope Obama wins so he can take the blame.

Good ol' sheeple, they always blame the figurehead, no matter what they actually do or don't do.

[theymos]

There's no significant difference between them. I'm not going to vote.

I think Obama will win. Romney isn't very likeable, and a lot of people still like Obama.

This is a waste of time.

I agree


It works differently if you have a Canadian style governing system. Votes equals seats.

That's the spirit!

[evolve]

I'm either voting third party (probably green) or for obama again (even though it kills me a little inside).

Romney can eat a Dick.
