ToB, where and when to meet to settle our bet? I'm shocked it was this easy for Obama, fwiw. Unemployment now will jump up to near 9% again after the first of the year.
Wrong about $2 gas, wrong about the next President, I'm guessing you're wrong about the unemployment rate also.
I knew this outcome months and months ago. Romney never had a chance, and here's what it boils down to (and what the GOP can't seem to grasp): Obama is likeable. Romney is not. That's all it was. It had nothing to do with policy or government experience or anything that actually matters. Obama is likeable and he knows how to play the game, Romney is not likeable and he couldn't keep his mouth shut. Obama did such a bad job, they could have put anyone in his place and won if they were likeable. This idiot came out and had to hit on all the things that people don't like about Republicans. Gay marriage? Check. Abortion? Check. I don't know what happened to the GOP, but they need a reboot. These super right wing fundies are killing that party.
Romney acts facetious and condescending everytime he opens his trap. The guy just looks like a snake oil salesman. Weak candidate. Next.
Obama is more personable and that resonates with women. To a small degree, the presidential election can be a beauty contest.
I think it's entirely a popularity contest. I knew the GOP was screwed as soon as they nominated Mitt... but here's the thing..... none of the other candidates were any good either. That party needs to completely rethink its direction. I want nothing to do with it anymore. If there was a halfway decent third party, I'd go that route.... but there isn't. This election was all about a decision between a sleezeball and a dufus.
Women vote for the party that looks out for their best interests. Unless they're from the South, then they either are afraid they're going to hell, or they'll get a black eye from their husband if they don't vote Republican.
given your track record about the election (gas will be under 3 dollars, Romney would win), I would hope you'd keep quiet about making outlandish predictions.
This loss is not a reflection of Romney, but one of the sad state of the United States and its citizens. From creators into consumers. Never have I been less confident in the general population of the US. We are going to be a zombie nation.
