I find it hard to see how Obama will win. He promised so much yet has delivered very little.

This is the main reason I think Obama will be impossible to defeat.

People will get out in swarms to vote for him, regardless of his policies, because he's a personable black guy. He'll get the youth vote simply because he's a Democrat and comes across as a 'cool' guy, he'll get the black and hard left vote because he's black and hates the rich and he'll get the Democrat faithful by default.

There is absolutely no way he will lose.

I used to think the same although am now on the other side.

Unemployment when Obama took office was 7.8%. During his current term is office it has risen to over 10% before coming back down to the current level of 8.3%. The election will be won on economics. Romney has the upper hand on this.

If the US sees even the slightest downturn between now and the election, Romney has it in the bag. Eitherway, it will be a very close election - Obama will not sweep home comfortably like he did in 2008 and I wouldn't be surprised if he is indeed a one term president.

Obama will probably lose North Carolina...but if he can win Ohio and Virginia he'd have a fantastic chance. If he wins Flordia on top of that, then he wins the election.

Can't wait for the debates.

Romney is a moron.
No, he will be Americas next president. He is a better all rounder than George W. Bush was (who was a two term president, a feat it looks like Obama will be unable to do).

Yes. Unemployment has gotten worse under Obama.

Ohio and Virginia will fall to Romney almost certainly. Florida will be a closer race and one Obama desperately needs.

Okay so maybe Obama hasn't been the best president- but if Romney wins, America will go to the dogs.
Romney is a wealthy man who doesn't understand what 'poverty' is. He does not believe that taxes should be raised on the rich (oh I wonder why... BECAUSE HE IS RICH- net worth is like $250 million), he has changed his mind many times about issues such as abortion and same-sex marriage and from the speeches I've heard, he doesn't believe in the separation of Church and State. I keep hearing him say "God" this... "God" that... I'm religious and I believe in God, but the Church and State NEED to be separate.

And judging by the latest polls, Obama will win :)

Hmm I dunno i think Obama has a good shot in Ohio! All the recent polls I've seen suggests he's beating Romney by 1-2% in Ohio. Virginia will be closer though.

People seem to be forgetting that it was the Republicans that fucked up the economy in the first place under good old Dubya.

Bush had to go to great extents to restore Americas military and position as the world superpower which had waned under Clinton.
