Who gets your vote for President of the United States of America?

I'm an American and I vote for Obama - just the man to turn American around after four miserable years
24 (29.6%)
I'm an American and I vote for Romney - his day one job: get ride of Obamacare and then strip America down and sell it for parts
14 (17.3%)
I'm not an American, but I would vote for Obama - a weak and apologetic America pleases me
30 (37%)
I'm not an American, but I would vote for Romney - a Mormon in the White House? That will be hilarious!
3 (3.7%)
I am American, and I waste my vote by voting for a third party
6 (7.4%)
I am not an American, but I would vote for Jaron
4 (4.9%)

Total Members Voted: 80

I'm trying to go back there in a couple years, so in this case I would vote Obama. If I'm not able to I'd vote Romney and watch the fireworks from the other side of the pond.

Because there will really be fireworks. :rolleyes:

Figuratively speaking. I think a Romney presidency would be entertaining for a whole host of wrong reasons.

Anyway, in truth I want the less sucky option for the people in the US, which seems to be Obama this time around.

Obama of course. The Earth isn't great but its all we have, don't want it destroyed.

Perhaps a bit of hyperbole at play there....

Futures market is abandoning Obama. He is now only favored against Romney 55-45 on InTrade.

Gallup +5 Romney
http://www.gallup.com/poll/157817/election-2012-likely-voters-trial-heat-obama-romney.aspx
Rasmussen +4 Romney
http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/obama_administration/daily_presidential_tracking_poll

Latest Rasmussen has Ohio at a 48-48 tie.  Maybe this one will go into overtime.

I pledged on Facebook to become a homegrown terrorist if Romney wins, so there'll be fireworks in my part of town.

Im pretty sure this election will go into overtime. Whoever loses is going to contest...it will be that close looks like. Start counting the pregnant chads.

Colorado 2012 = Florida 2000

That's the way it's going to be.

It looks like you might be right, but I really hope not. Right wingers don't accept Obama as legitimate now, could you imagine if he had a real hint of illegitimacy about him? Or if two elections in 12 years were handed to Republicans by the courts?

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

I said I was voting for Al Smith and I am sticking with that.

I'm going to write in Jaron. Also, there are a total of five women who plan to vote how I tell them, so maybe Marty is vindicated.  :lol:

I understood what you are saying and it is ridiculous.

I think there will be some short-term fireworks if Romney wins.  Unless all the people on twitter threatening to riot are bullshitting (which is possible).

Side-note:  A lot of the above-mentioned twitter users call him "Nick Romney" :huh:
