If Romney wins this election it will be proof positive that the system is rigged.
A lot or Republicans don't like him, and you know how the Democrats feel. And the middle is wavering on both of them.
Bad tasting medicine always is better when you're ailing.
The likeability factor is what got us in this mess because voters are voting based in popularity rather than qualifications.
Romney wasnt my first choice either but he is certainly much more qualified than Obama.
I mean, come on, how can Obama even begin to criticize Romney's business experience?
Doesn't even make sense.

Yep. 90% of voters have no idea who or what they are voting for. It's just an american idol/prom king vote.

The Tea Party will NOT turn out in force for Romney, they support Ron Paul.
You're dreaming if you think the TP likes Romney.
Time will tell.
I still have my eye on this incredible prediction model.

Question: Will the flags still be burning in the middle east during the 1st Presidential Debate ?edit on 18-9-2012 by Eurisko2012 because: (no reason given)
It predicts Romney winning the electoral college by a 320-218 margin and winning 52.9 percent of the popular vote when only the two major parties’ candidates are considered, the Associated Press reported Thursday

It will not improve in 2013.
For that to happen we would need job growth unseen since post WW2 days.
We have lost 5 million manufacturing jobs since 1995.
Add on all the ancillary jobs lost as a result of the manufacturing job losses you have 12 million jobs lost.
In the mean time small businesses are struggling to pay bills on time so their credit rating goes down. Then when they do want to hire they can't borrow to do it.

Allowing the Keystone pipeline and drilling offshore will be a start.

Sure, until it's finished, then those jobs go away too.
They aren't building Keystone to give us cheaper gas, they plan to sell this oil on the international market, that's why they need to get it to the Gulf. If the pipeline doesn't get built we will see lower gas prices because so much of our oil will be landlocked (N.Dak, Canada).
It would cost too much to truck it or put it on trains, so they'll be forced to refine it locally, which would mean cheaper gas for Americans.
I used to support Keystone, until I did some research.

Don't ignore the lifting of the offshore drilling moratorium.
President George W. Bush did that back in July 2008. Look what happened.

If I remember correctly, the Deepwater disaster happened.
