Predictions? Post who you're voting for and why. I figured I would make this a tad early for all the predictions.

My father is an English professor and by evaluating your replies I have determined that you are uneducated, the sentence that had been written was gramatically correct, and written in a form often used in higher levels and therefore you may not understand. Maybe next time

i was told you support Romney. that would put you in league with Republicans, the most conservative people on planet Earth, who live in the most conservative nation on planet Earth. that makes you an extremist, and in my mind, retarded. i'm conservative when it comes to financial issues, and liberal when it comes to everything that my country, being Canada, already has together, ie. social issues. i live in Alberta, i'm a young single male, so voting conservative makes sense. they aren't going to take away the rights of myself or my fellow citizens, which is what the republican platform is based on, they just want to make sure i'm financially stable. as for Harper, well, he's useless, and in league with republicans, but it's not like we as a nation would ever allow him to do any of the things republicans want to do, so i'm not too worried. canadian politics aren't nearly as exciting as american politics because we figured out racism was stupid and gay people aren't evil long before americans did. the republicans have yet to figure that and a lot more out.

oh and i forgot to say, that if you're canadian, and you think the republicans are smart, then yeah, get the hell out, because there isn't a single canadian politician who is even as conservative as the "liberals" in america.

Hahaha. You are one of the most retarded people I have ever seen write. You are 100% incorrect if u think we would lose a war to china. This is what would happen. Russia will ally with United States in second year of war, opening a northern front. Pakistan will attack China from west and stay neutral with India. Nato will win the oceans, Russia will redraw borders and the economic boon in the United States will bring manufacturing home and also allow us to finally annex Mexico. Only tactical nukes will be used. Japan and South Korea will invade North Korea and create a new Korean-Japanese alliance. The middle east will fall to Isreal. If the war came to the USA our citizens would form militias and we could not be beaten. PERIOD

what rock do you live under Mitt Romney is being charged by the United Automobile Workers with violating the federal ethics in government law by improperly concealing his multi-million dollar windfall from the auto industry bailout.

ah so you're saying it's illogical to believe that racism is stupid, and gay people aren't evil, and america is not the most conservative nation on earth, and republicans don't tout themselves as being the conservative leaders of said nation, okay.

Just because Romney has made his own decisions and become succseful at least he hasnt wasted our money in companies like solyndra that go bankrupt and the money ends up in obamas campaign fund with supporters that post videos that are completely retarded like micheal moore. Go to YouTube and watch " a message from the greatest generation". You will laugh

Funny you only mention Solyndra and not the other companies Obama has invested in that have stayed successful nor did you mention the companies Bain invested in that went bankrupt: http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2012/06/23/505141/romneys-bain-profited-even-as-the-companies-it-invested-in-went-bankrupt-analysis-reveals/?mobile=nc.

My bias as fuck opinion: typed with i dont give a fuck sp.

Romney is really stupid because he is Mormon...
he also doesn't have any truth on his words. People get successful like him by fucking stupider people (Romney voters).

Obama is pretty bad as well though but i don't know how he could do better because iv never been president... I disagree with letting laziness feed off the government and taxpayers sequentially.

ps romney has more bank accounts off shores than you have money. so dont be stupid this november.

Here's my battleground map...

Barack Obama takes Nevada, Colorado, Iowa, Wisconsin, Ohio, and Virginia.
Mitt Romney takes New Hampshire, North Carolina, and Florida.

Barack Obama wins. This is based on the latest polling (although there are some indications of movement in Florida (toward Obama), and potentially Virginia (toward Romney), so we'll see where those go. It should be an interesting next few days.

I will say that I think Sandy will help in states like Florida and maybe North Carolina.

And as for my prediction. The way polls have continued favoring Obama and many Americans realize we need something different from what we have Romney will end up winning after winning Pa Fl and OH Just wait a few more days and you will see that I am correct

Oh election time. Creating enemies and spawning useless discussion between poorly-informed members of the internet community.

Makes for a good show in my opinion.

In other news, I'm Canadian so yes, I would like to see Obama continue a 2nd term and think he probably will manage to do so.

Let me explain.

Sandy is a hurricane. Hurricanes hit Florida and North Carolina relatively frequently. Hurricanes require swift, immediate, decisive federal government response. President Obama has made a superb, swift, and decisive response to Sandy, where in the past Republican leaders in the federal government (i.e. George W. Bush with Rita and the 2005 Florida hurricanes, as well as, obviously, Katrina) didn't do a good job with their response. And I think that voters in Florida and North Carolina recognize the differences between those opposing scenarios.

My thought is that some Florida and North Carolina voters will note the decisive action that President Obama has taken and is taking, as well as remember the non-action of George W. Bush, and choose the candidate of the party with a better record on disaster preparedness and relief. The candidate of "this is an essential government function" instead of the "send it back to the states" candidate.

Admittedly, it probably won't make that much of a difference. But in Florida, where the race is within margin of error, it might just be exactly what Barack Obama needed.

Rasmussen Reporting leans Republican. And what does the Republican governor of Pennsylvania have to do with Presidential politics? Nothing, except that he obviously wants Romney to win, so obviously he's going to support Romney and say that "the race is close."

But it doesn't matter. Pennsylvania has been locked up since July.

I always find the "community organizer" slam funny. Ground game (organizing?) is important. Obama won by such a large margin in 08 because of the organization, and it likely is going to help him win in at least a few of the "swing" states come Tuesday. Furthermore, he was only a community organizer for like 2 years after college and then he went to Harvard Law and later taught Constitutional Law. I can't think of a better person to be president than someone whose job is explaining the constitution to other people.

im a libertarian and i'm not trying to argue ( too young to vote anyway ), but I just don't see how you could vote for Obama with the insane debt and unemployment rates. What would happen to our generation if as much debt was added in the next 4 years as was the previous 4 ? It somewhat scares me
