Election 2012 Thread
« on: November 04, 2012, 05:43:59 pm »

This thread will be for our personal predictions for the 2012 election as well as election news coverage. Bear in mind that the poll is for who you think will win, not who you want to win. Once the voting begins on Tuesday we can start posting news about the electoral votes here.

To start things off, here's some news concerning who has the lead among early voters.

Obama defiantly has the electoral advantage.  He can lose a few of the toss up states he leads in while Romney must realistically must win almost all the tossups.

Why the fuck did I read the comments on that link that Rabbit gave?? Seriously,"Gangbangers" in the whitehouse?? That being said, I think Obama will win, but when that is all said and done, I really don't care who wins. If Rommey wins good for him, I'll survive, after all I managed to do so for 8 years under Bush Jr.

Yeah, Obama will likely win. Though it definitely won't be a third-party candidate.

I'll be honest. If Barack Obama wins, I'll be real excited, mainly because I'll get to sip on all those tasty Consie tears bawled from the GOP.

(click to show/hide)

If Mitt Romney wins (which is fairly likely), then fuck everything. People will get pissed off no matter what happens. Then again, I live in a state where my governor aides the state's Right to Life organization and the defunding of Planned Parenthood (and I can't stand him).

The presidency will remain Democratic; the natural inertia of the average voter will lead them to back the incumbent all else being equal. Bush 1 lost cause of the It's Time factor and Carter lost because of the October Surprise. Ford lost because he was an idiot and also Watergate.

What matters are the down ticket races. It looks like the Republicans are going to keep control of the house and senate, and only a few Turncoat Democrats are going to burn. So the formula remains the same: Republicans can do what they want, Democrats can't do anything at all and therefore the Reds can wait it out until they get back the White House. Just wave the Freak Flag high until the inevitable.

The party's name is the Democratic Party. It has been since 1830. Please spell correctly.

And this why I've become jaded as fuck when it comes to politics, and part of me thinks it might be a good idea just to burn the country to the ground.
