Romney wins. The Democrats will not get the turnout that they had the last time. When Obama ran in 2008--it was historic, the minorities and the liberals wanted to be part of something--they wanted to put a person of color in the White House. They will not get the turnout the second time around. I just hope that Romney wins by such a margin that there are no hanging chad, absentee ballots, lawsuits, challenges, and what not. A Romney beat down, or we are collectively in a world of hurt--and our kids are on the hook for 20 trillion.

The Reason, Momentom. 30,000 people turned out to Romney rally in Ohio. Obama had a 2,800 turnout in Ohio. Pennsylvania last Night another 30,000 turnout for Romney. Pennsylvania has not gotten any attention from either candidate until past couple of weeks. Romney has the Momentom don't pay attention to the polls they can manipulate them anyway they want. Just like that unemployment number that fell for no reason.

I know folks don't like Romney cause he is a morman, but he is a bazillion times better than what we have. I am not asking Romney to be my preacher by giving him my vote, just my Commander In Chief.
The unemployment numbers are based on the people that are receiving unemployment benefits. Not people that are actually out of work. Ex of numbers going down, There could have been a massive lay off 8 months ago, and all those people that went out that day or the next to apply to receive benefits could have either found a job or the likely just exhausted their benefits. Once they have used them up, they are no longer counted as being unemployed.

The Unemployment is based on a survery conducted by the bureau of labor statistics. They survey 60,000 households each month. Check out this link to see how it works. http://www.bls.gov/cps/cps_htgm.htm#where

I'm betting we won't know who wins for awhile. I'll bet they got folks working every angle to fix votes. The new black panthers will be whooping on crackers and the lawyers will be coming out of the woodwork. I'm predicting a caca show.

Well that is not how the state does it, :lol: I was just going by what the lady at the winjob center explained to me about 8 years ago. Either way, it does not give a true value to what the figures are.

I know you are somewhat joking, but I really do beleive if O loses(which I dont think he will,") that there will be race riots in the larger cities. Glad I am not in one of them.

Good point, except for larger cities in the South. Places like Jackson, B'ham, Memphis, NOLA, Charlotte could be interesting if they want it to be.

I think Roney wins. Barrack doesn't have much momentum. There ain't a bumper sticker on every brothers car nor leftist liberal. Also he had the young college kids rocking last in 2008. Now that they can't find jobs I'm hoping some of them wished up.
