The subject has been beaten to death here, so this isn't about discussion nor about who you support or why because your answer might be different from who you believe will win. Therefore:


Who do you think will be elected President?


My answer: Obama

Romney will get 45% of the popular vote and electoral college and steal the difference

Admittedly, I'm trying to reverse-jinx here....


But I think Romney is going to steal Ohio and win the election.

@Azelma and Aestu:


Any president who allowed this to happen doesn't deserve to be president. Assuming a fair election, you both think Obama.

If you're not interested in having a serious discussion then don't make (more) political threads.
I say that because biased and specious nonsense like this doesn't survive five seconds of thought.

The political systems of third world countries suck because in those shitty countries, politicians do what you suggest, and play for total stakes. Gore and Kerry said why they didn't fight back and unfortunately they are correct. In a democratic system, there is no middle ground between a decision by the highest court in the land and civil war.

Anyone who thinks this way does not deserve what they have. If you think that someone who was treated unfairly should blame themselves then obviously life has only been unfair in your favor.

"Who do you think will be elected President?"

You could have just typed Romney, or avoided this all together if you weren't interested.

Don't be catty. I answered the question, you posted a response to my answer, and I demonstrated why your response was nonsense. Your objection isn't that I elaborated on my response, it's that I showed very clearly why yours was foolish.

I guess this only applies when you're trying to justify your own douchebaggery.

Indeed.

That being said, Obama. If you look at Intrade—which I believe to be a superior predictor on almost all counts—you'll see that as of today, he's got anywhere from a 66-67% chance of winning as compared to Romney's 33-34. It's certainly not flawless, but such numbers are at the very least statistically significant.

(We'll also probably see the House stay red and the Senate blue. But the former could be shaken up should even a handful of upsets occur.)
