    Poll stands 51-2 for Obama.

    I think Obama will win but I suspect it will be closer than some here think. Largely because Obama hasn't been a very good president. Decent, great in spots, but middling to poor and others.

    Obama -- Even if people who voted for Obama last time are unhappy with the job he's done, they won't vote for Romney.

    Obama. And to throw out a different reason aside from the obvious listed above: Because Southern Conservatives would never vote for someone who practices Mormonism.

    Do tell. How many deep South states will Obama win?

    Ha. Touche. Maybe I should have wrote right-wing fundamentalists, which, are all located all throughout the country. I think you see a shit-ton of Repubs staying home this year.

    (Hope I didn't just break a rule. If so, please delete.)

    Obama.

    There aren't enough Republicans in a nationwide election given the way they're getting killed demographically right now. He's winning 98 percent of the black vote, 75 percent of the Hispanic vote and more than 60 percent of the female vote.

    You cut it all up and Romney needs something like 72-73 percent of the white male vote -- in a massive GOP turnout effort. Mitt Romney ain't that guy. Hell, none of the GOP are that guy.

    Obama.

    He would also win the student council president vote against this guy ... and Homecoming king ... and captain of the basketball team.

    Romney, just to make it look good for the casino cameras.

    Obama will win. Romney has yet to show anything that makes him substantially different.

    Obama

    The GOP ruined their chances of winning this election before it ever happened.

    Obama. Europe might muddle through the summer, but I don't think it'll collapse. And as long as consumer prices don't spiral out of control, the economy will continue recovering at a strong enough pace for most voters to justify giving him four more years.

    While I'm honored to be included in the conversation, Obama.

    However, I don't think he'll have as many electoral votes as last time. For example, I find it hard to believe Indiana, which he barely won, will vote for him twice. There are a few other states that were borderline Obama that I'm not sure will go his way again.

    On the other hand, if Indiana isn't called for Romney by 6:05 p.m., it's over for him.
