If gas prices continue to rise or unemployment starts rising again I think it increases Romney's chances of winning otherwise it is a toss up and the swing states will decide it.

Obama is going to crush whoever is running from this years crop, it will be Jimmy Carter bad.

Doesnt really matter though both Romney and Obama are exactly the same candidate either way.

This. No star power. Internally the GOP is also too fractured by ideological differences, as well. The social conservatism vs fiscal conservatism and big vs small government factions make the party as a whole weak. They will lose this election.

Wow!

You do actually realize what happened with Carters second election, don't you? Can you sorta see the parallels with the current sitting President? Can you see where this is going? All the GOP has to do is field a reasonable, presentable and sane person to have a rerun of 1980. Granted they have been trying their damnd'est in the primaries to screw this up by presenting incompetent lunatic after incompetent lunatic as perceived front-runners. But in the end Romney is a safe sane candidate. Boring, not a strong following in the deep conservative base. But sane and reasonably competent.

Probably has a better chance of winning than any of the GOP right now

Isn't it? I assure you, I am highly researched before I cast my ballot. Hell, at this point, I will probably vote Ron Paul which is essentially throwing my vote away, but that's how it's looking right now. Both parties are the same. The damned same. Big money, uncaring, out of touch, and completely unrepresentative of "the people".

So far:

75% think Obama will win, only about half of those are supporters (would vote for him)
25% think Romney will win, and almost all of those are Romney supporters (only 1 'independent').

Ron beat Jimmy Carter so badly that even his children would never been allowed to run for a PTA presidency. This years GOP candidate is going to get whooped Jimmy Carter bad.

Jimmy didn't lose to Reagan as badly as Mondale did. That election, with Ronny as a sitting president stomping a challenger, would be a better example of a lopsided re-election.

Obama ain't exactly like Carter though, and thats where your analogy falls apart. If there's one thing Obama is good at, it's campaigning and oration.

Republican overreach will destroy them this election. I know many of you are just as stupid as the average American, and that's pretty damn stupid, and that many of you believe the crap being spewed by the talking heads and you suck up disinformation much more quickly and hold it much more dearly than actual facts...so you will never be swayed by reality, and instead cling ever more tightly to your fantasies. You are a microcosm of the country as a whole, and at this point it's actually almost possible to believe that a Republican nominee has a chance.....if you believe the hype.

The hype is bull however. It ignores the fact that Republican led attacks on women in every state where they hold a majority in state government are being forced thru. Anti-abortion, anti-contraceptive, anti-family leave, anti-equal pay, anti-access to health care......anti-anti-anti-everything.

This trend is not going unnoticed, and fury over it is growing. Yes, apparently even a goodly portion of the women in this country hate women and wish those "sluts" would shut the hell up and get back in the kitchen. But a "goodly portion" is nowhere near a majority, and it includes almost no women under the age of 50. The embrace of circa 1700 "family values" by the Republican party is their death knell.

This election, as usual, will be less about the candidate running for the office, and more about the views and goals of the party the candidate represents. Republican equals "women shut up and realize you are just like a gay man, not worth a god damn thing". Democrat equals "we aren't really sure but at least we don't hate gays and women".

Now, I'm sure many of you think there are plenty enough idiots in this country to allow the Republican party to win elections even with their abomination of a platform, hell look at what they did just 2 years ago right?

But they have screwed the pooch on this one. Too far, massive overreach, and they aren't going to let up. By election time, they will be openly pushing to force women to submit to rape and then she should either kill herself or, preferably, wait 9 months to have her rapists child...THEN kill herself.

Even most Americans aren't that stupid.

Not that we are in a good position now, but how can this country survive the debt of 4 more years or Barry?

I will stop voting for Republicans when Democrats ditch the fiscally irresponsible platform. I really don't care about women's issues. Force them into burkas for all I care. Just stay the &$#* out of my pockets.

I think Obama will win.

Even from steadfast republicans I have heard not one single thing people are excited about in Romney's agenda. They just seem to have a vague idea that he ran a successful company, is a Christian, is rich, and otherwise is just a random Republican.

With McCain at least there was a decent list of things that even democrats could quickly agree he was a pretty standup guy, and (some) republicans could get excited about him.

I will start voting Republican again when they really are fiscally conservative, all the current Republican candidates will put us in an even greater deficit condition than Obama if re-elected, based on their insistence on reduced taxation.

Saying Obama spending is out of control, should also be compared against how Hoover handled the Depression, his position largely the same as current Republicans say they would follow, didn't work, and had that been repeated we'd all probably be in a much sorrier state than we are in today.

The media squawked for two solid weeks about the GOP wanting to deny women contraception.

NO candidate for the GOP has proposed this or brought this up. The only time it became an issue is when Nancy Pelosi invited a woman to speak at a committee meeting and a conservative radio talk show host made inflammatory remarks about her. The left collectively had a cow about it and now the accepted story outcome is that the GOP wants to end contraception.

The fact that it isn't true doesn't trouble the left at all. The sad part is that this seems to happen all the time and no one blinks an eye about it.

This HAS come up. Republicans have been bringing this up and outlets such as Fox have been bringing clergymen onto their shows to ramp up the insanity. Questions have been asked at rallies, at debates, and in interviews that deal with contraception. Loud crowds during Republican debates have booed as candidates respond to questions about contraception. Rick Santorum is NOTORIOUS for his views regarding contraception. He has been consistent for at least 10 years.

It's in plain sight that these people are on the brink of what 2012 calls insanity.

You and I had a brief but reasonable discussion regarding media doing anything and everything for ratings. You can't acknowledge that media outlets try to get ratings but at the same time claim that EVERYTHING has a liberal slant to it.

"Many of the Christian faith have said, well, that's O.K., contraception is O.K.," Santorum said last fall. "It's not O.K. It's a license to do things in a sexual realm that is counter to how things are supposed to be.

-Republicans on Capitol Hill took up the cry, with legislation designed to strip contraception coverage on a large scale. Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Missouri, has a bill saying that any employer -- not just church affiliated institutions -- has the right to deny insurance coverage for his employees whenever it violates his "moral concerns."

Mitt Romney in 2007, "I fought to define life as beginning at conception rather than at the time of implantation." "I, like you, hope to reclassify the most commonly used forms of contraceptives as abortions." "I vetoed a so-called emergency contraception bill that gave young girls abortive drugs without prescription or parental consent."

Presidential hopeful Sen. Sam Brownback, Republican of Kansas, beefed up his anti-contraception resume by co-sponsoring a bill to de-fund the nation's largest contraception provider, Planned Parenthood, by excluding it from Title X family planning for the poor.

Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain's campaign officials boast he has "consistently voted against taxpayer-funded contraception programs." And Mr. McCain reports that his adviser on sexual-health matters is Sen. Tom Coburn, Republican of Oklahoma, who leads campaigns claiming condoms are unsafe and opposing emergency contraception.

Another presidential candidate, Rep. Tom Tancredo, like Mr. Romney, has ventured far into the "contraception-is-abortion" territory. According to Mr. Tancredo, a Colorado Republican, emergency contraception "cheapens human life and simply uses a woman's body to dispose of the child instead of a doctor."

There are now a total of 86 different anti-abortion organizations have committed themselves to stopping all types of contraception arguing that, “contraceptive acts and reproductive technologies that manipulate or replace conjugal union are a rejection of the gift of life," "most often include the foreseen deaths of tiny children," "the practice of contraception means children are unwanted and provides the rationalization for abortion," and "it is a violation of human dignity to promote or accept the use of contraception."

You have Obama mention any government management of healthcare and Republicans blow it up into death panels and full blown socialism.

You have Santorum and other Republican figures talk about how contraception is a "grievous moral wrong" and wanting to allow any insurance company/business to deny coverage.

The Republicans are lot more involved in the obfuscation of the opposition (including Rhodoman), and their extreme statements show a much higher willingness to go down a slippery slope.

Not that I think they could go too far down that slope before the constitution stopped them, but they would want to.
