[Ad Bot]

[Providence]

honest politicians don't get elected

[.Atlas]

It is choosing the lesser of two evils in every way. I really wish this wasn't the my first election to vote in. All I'll be able to tell my children is how I got to decided how America died. There isn't even an independent candidate.

[Fracture]

poll internals beg to differ

I actually think that depends on the poll.
Im looking around and am seeing Obama beating romney in a lot of places.

Just going off what I've heard.

There's every chance that it could. Just like it could have during the Cold War, or pretty much any other time. Yes yes veto's and such but in the end, the president does have a huge part in what happens in this nation. Where that chain reaction takes us who knows. Certainly not me or you. And really, there's no need to be insulting. Everyone has their own opinions.

Then I guess im not entirely sure what you mean by saying, "I got to decided how America died"
When I think of America dying, I think of everyone in America dying.

ugh those polls/articles use the same shenanigans with party id/oversampling/undersampling

http://www.gallup.com/poll/158420/registered-voters-already-cast-ballots.aspx

Romney currently leads Obama 52% to 46% among voters who say they have already cast their ballots. However, that is comparable to Romney's 51% to 46% lead among all likely voters in Gallup's Oct. 22-28 tracking polling. At the same time, the race is tied at 49% among those who have not yet voted but still intend to vote early, suggesting these voters could cause the race to tighten. However, Romney leads 51% to 45% among the much larger group of voters who plan to vote on Election Day, Nov. 6.

No, I mean America as a nation not as a people. Our economy and such. If it did really happen it surely wouldn't happen in just four years either. We still have a ways to go before anything really becomes clear.
