Case in point... just in case Obama loses they are prepping the whine machines.

However if Obama wins, as in the case of every Democrat victory...the election is all on the up and up.

Ummm....

I did not say there was or wasn't any fixing going on. I said there was the appearance of possible impropriety and that Mitt and his handlers should have been aware of this and been proactive in fixing the problem before it became one. It would be a non-issue if he pulled out of the company a year ago.

It doesn't matter to me who wins, they are both controlled by corporations and bankers. 2 sides of the same coin and both fraudulent.

I'd just love to agree with you, but we have to face the fact the S.O.B. (I call him the Pendulum) is a threat. However I think we can take heart in the statement he made recently about victims' relief being a waste of money he couldn't afford. Go, Obama, go!

of course, those who are republicans even though they will try to elect a poor president, and
will vote for them irrespective of 'just who is the best' candidate, then sure that makes anyone
on the other side a threat.

same in canada, those who will 'not' be flexible and see who, and what party will best serve
the people.

That's all you need though.

Electoral landslides do not say much for the pulse of the country. A candidate can take one state by 100 votes and gather all the electoral votes.

Indeed. Nixon in '72 seems pretty surprising in hindsight. With only 60% he got all but one state. The whole electoral college system is rather strange.

No, what I would need is a miraculous 6.5% swing in votes (or 300,000 votes) at 2am on election night from a republican controlled company in a Tennessee basement counting electronic votes for Ohio to give a republican win of the state like happened in 2000.

Of course I would cry foul if that were reversed to democrat controlled company and a democrat win.

It may be foul play, it may not be but it sure as hell gives a good impression of it no matter what. The process needs unassailable integrity and having one candidate heavily invested in the company that records and tallies votes removes that....no matter which party they belong to.

It'll be a close popular vote.. but Obama will win the Electoral College because he has positioned himself to accumulate the broadest spectrum of voters. Some handicappers have Obama seriously head in the Electoral College.

The last time i the checked UK bookmakers the odds were 1/3 Obama, 9/4 Romney. They tend to be more reliable the polls. That means if you bet $100 on either.. you'd win $33 (clear) with Obama, compared to $175 with Romney if your man won.

Romney lacks breadth.. and depth.. in conservative issues. He's too 'lightweight' to attract a decisive consensus of independent and moderate voters. I'm not a betting man, but i'd put money on Obama if i could get anywhere near even odds.

Not to mention decisiveness and honesty!

- Yes, Romney obviously lacks breadth and depth and is a real lightweight, especially compared with management-trainee-in-chief Brack Obama.

- Romney graduated with honours in both business and law from Harvard, one of the tiny percentage who dares to take the combined degree program that is intensive and a full year shorter than these two degrees normally take. Obama's sole item of any note on his resume is that he, too, got an honours degree in law from Harvard although it is obvious to everyone that he did not take the business degree.

- Romney went on to star in the most prestigious consulting company of the 1970s - The Boston Group - and then formed Bain with both a consulting and a venture capital division which became a huge success making him very rich before he left for public service and making those who stayed even richer. He stepped in and rescued the Slat Lake City Winter Olympics of 2002 at no salary and then he became the highly successful and popular governor of Massachusetts also at no salary and got the budget balanced, taxes cut, a state health care plan, education reform and other things done working with an 87% Democratic legislature. All the while Mitt spent 10 to 20 hours a week of his own time and millions of dollars a year of his own money doing unsung and unpublicized projects to help the poor and the sick and others who had fallen on hard times.

- Barry? Why he was a community organizer on the mean streets of Chicago which are even meaner now than before he arrived there, a law school lecturer without tenure at a university in Chicago, a part time senator in the part time senate of Illinois and left no mark of any significance in any of these jobs. Then, he served 2/3 of one term as a US senator and again left no mark of any significance but lucked into the presidency when the loony left of the Democratic party chose him over Hillary for the Democratic nomination and he lucked into a Wall Street and housing collapse that the voters decided to blame entirely on the GOP. As president, he has kept none of his economic and fiscal promises, set new records in racking up debt with no discernible and lasting return, presided over the weakest recovery by far of all nine post WWII recoveries, refused to submit a budget to congress or work with congress, failed to consolidate US strategic gains in Iraq, is losing the war in Afghanistan, has made the US even more unpopular in the Muslim states of the ME than it was under Bush, is currently engaged in a shameful cover up of Benghazi that makes watergate look benign and is the worst president since Warren G. Harding in the 1920s.

- You can't seriously contend that this lightweight carpetbagger Obama is even in the same league as Romney let alone is more experienced, accomplished and qualified to be president. Or can you?

If Romney wins it will slow the process of coming apart at the seams, but it won't stop American disintegration. If Obama wins the process of disintegration will accelerate.

Neither of these guys can change the culture or reform the public schools. You can't transform a sow's ear into a silk purse with an election.

At this point... I just want the election over. That way we can get back to bashing/defending just one guy. :)
