Who will win the election - POLL

I, for one, can't wait for november 7th because all those political commercials will FINALLY be off my tv screen!

[Steve Arnold]

I keep the television off most of the time now, the commercials are driving me crazy. Iowa is a swing state and the polls show a tight race here, so we are bombarded. It was reported that there are 1558 political commercials on Iowa television every day. Not to mention the fact that Obama, Romney, Ryan and Biden are all practically living here - all for six electoral votes.

Although I have not voted, I would vote for Obama. Being that I live in UTAH, I know my vote for Obama has no say, and honestly don't want to bother going to vote. I know, I know, I should exercise my rights. No way in h*ll would a Democrat be even close to winning a vote here in Utah, especially when a mormon is in the running . This is also why I hate the electoral college process.

Although Obama isn't perfect, he certainly isn't bad. I don't like Romney, and I don't agree with A LOT of what he says.

I have no doubt that Obama will win. Too many people dislike Romney, especially among the younger generation.

I read a couple of days ago that in Salt Lake City itself, Obama is actually leading Romney in the polls.

One of my worries is that Romney will win the popular vote but Obama will win the electoral vote. Although the last time this happened (Bush / Gore) there wasn't much of a stink; but I'll bet if Romney loses that way there will be quite ruckus. So in that regard, every vote counts when you tally up that popular vote.

As one who has long favored abolishing the electoral college, I've been told that "if the electoral college goes, no presidential candidate will bother setting foot in Iowa again ... " which, I can tell you, might not be such a bad thing!

Without the Electoral College, a candidate could theoretically campaign in urban population centers and never give one whit of consideration to anyone outside a city.

The electoral college ensures that ALL states have a say in the election of the President.

As to not voting because "your vote doesn't count"? Find a 3rd party candidate you like and maybe help push that party over the (IIRC) 5% bar so they can get matching funding for the next election cycle.

By the by, I'll see your Pat Paulsen and raise you a Lyndon LaRouche.
