Who will win the election - POLL

[Steve Arnold]

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.

Of course, I can't vote in the US, but if I could it would definitely be B. Obama! I'm glad to see that the American people I know here, will too.

Taylor Swift has another broken heart and you are all worried about who is going to be prez for the next 4 years......


That's really creepy.

Actually, on most ballots there are other matters to vote on, many affecting you locally, as well as Senate and House seats, local officials, etc. So please go vote, and even if you don't make a choice in the matter of the Presidential race, your votes will counts in other important matters.

Plus, personally I find it kinda sad when we have a low voter turnout, as people all over the world have to fight to vote, our ancestors had to fight to vote, our great-grandmothers and grandmothers had to fight to get women the right to vote ... we owe it to them to get our butts to the polls and vote!

I sent in my absentee ballot a few weeks ago c: This is the first time I voted! I was pretty pumped.
That said, I voted for Obama and I do really hope he wins. Mittens and I disagree on far too many things and I have far too little respect for him for me to ever want him as president.
I'm at a college campus that is overwhelmingly in support of Obama (which is to be expected, as I really only know one or two people in my age group who aren't voting for Obama). It's kind of awesome.

Just a few observations.

Having a discussion with a Democrat is like having a discussion with your Ex-wife. If you say anything they disagree with you get cursed, called names (ignorant and bully are popular these days), then they run away in tears to plot your death.

If the Pentagon wants Battleships or an Ambassador wants protection, at the very least send them "horses and bayonettes".

The rest of the world wants a weakened U.S. Military too, just like our current president.

A precedent has been set, the POTUS now needs good knees. All that bowing to our enemies and such.

Thank You.
