Who will win the election - POLL

I don't even care any more. I've been on this earth through 40 years and a lot of presidents. My family has never been homeless, hopeless, or broke, no matter who the prez was or how much the American public complained about them.

The point I was making above is that the President DOESN'T REALLY MATTER!

Laws passed by Congress actually run the country.

The amusing thing about Presidential elections is that we're arguing about what the drapes should be made out of while the roof is falling in due to a Congress who is more interested in delaying accountability for anything than coming up with solutions.

There is NO leadership in Congress.

Until there is. we're not solving anything.

Whoever is elected President in November is most likely going to be appointing at least one new Supreme Court Justice, if not more.

In other words, this time around anyway, it matters a great deal who will be elected President.

Excellent point. SCOTUS affects our every day lives more than the President does.

Hopefully there will be no change in the White House this year.

My Pappy would roll over in his grave, but Obama for sure.

I don't like anything that's ever come out of Romney's mouth.

Doesn't really matter who I vote for, Kansas ALWAYS goes Rebuplican.
I have little hope for things getting better no matter who is in the Oval office. The dems controlled the comgress for the first half of Obama's term: nothing got done. The Repubs controlled it the second half: nothing got done. Besides no matter who loses: it is all hurricane, Sandy's fault. It will mess up voting somehow.

Can you be more specific. Platitudes are not conducive to an intelligent exchange.

Didn't you vote for Hope and Change four years ago?

Didn't you vote for Hope and Change four years ago?

Yes I did and thank god we did get some hope and change, our economy was on the brink of a full depression thanks to president Bush, considering how you started your side of this debate I wouldn't think you deserve any response.

Just wanted to say that you & your family are very lucky people.

The President can nominate the SCOTUS judges, however, as we have seen with many nominations in the past, ideologically pure candidates don't normally make it through the Senate confirmation process.

If the President is handed a Congress with a narrow majority, or a minority in the upper house, then they have to moderate their choices for the court.

As several nominees who have been appointed to the court have shown, (Souter, Breyer) even those chosen by a President who has a majority in the Senate don't often stay on the ideological reservation.

The President could nominate Herr Schickelgruber to the SCOTUS, but that doesn't mean they're ever going to sit on the bench.,
