Who wins the presidency in November. Not intended to be a political thread, just interested in hearing predictions.
EDIT: Sorry, meant to post this in the Barnyard.

The map says Obama pretty easily, but I'm digging the Roth write-in.

The modern republican party is the most ass backwards misguided party in this country's history. Hopefully America's smart enough to vote for Obama.

Obama will win easily. The number of those dependent on the tax dollar of the backward ass republicans has swolen through rampant overpopulation by the inept to the point that it is near hopeless. Sad but true.

Depends on the economy and the weather. Most people could care less about the war so no way for either party to spin that for votes. I say all the young and dumb college people aren't as "excited for change" this time and the Elephants take the White House.

If the economy doesn't improve drastically Obama doesn't have a prayer and they know it. Saw Dick Morris talking about Obama's numbers and how they compare historically to first term incumbents in election year and they are about the worst in history. Morris is predicting a 7 point Romney win (which is a pretty good whipping) and I would agree, if things stay the same.

If Romney wins it would be a big upset and one of the best presidential campaigns ever run. Sad, but right now I don't see him swinging the ladies or the moderate vote. I am a Ron Paul guy so I'm gonna vote for him because I don't like Romney or Obama. That is unless Paul doesn't run as an independent. Then I'll probably write in someone.
What is going to be interesting to watch is who does Romney run with as VP! Santorum? Paul? Someone else?!

Obama really has no clue and has no experience in running anything. He has no leadership skills to bring the parties together. He is a divider and without a Democratic majority can't get anything done.
Romney may not be great but at least he as successfully run a business and the olympics.
America wises up and elects Romney.

The only one who would make any real change is Ron Paul. Everyone else is the same to me.

Trust me....at the end of the day Ron Paul is going to to what is in the best interest of Rand....and that is support Romney. There is no way he runs as an independent.

Sadly Obama will win because of the piss poor job the republicans did of finding a decent candidate to knock Obama out of the white house. Romney? really?

Romney > McCain
and Hope and Change has ended up being hopeless and changeless.

My initial thought: "go with the incumbent if you're putting money on it". So, I'd go with Obama.
That got me looking around, and I came across this link which is very interesting ...
