Let's hope that the gay marriage thing sinks Obama, so that no politician will ever attempt to treat gays as if they were the equals of people ever again.

Of course we aren't. I meet people everyday that I'm superior to.

Are you a GINO?

Great a gay Neil, just what we need.

He'll just tie his flannel shirt in a knot above his belly button.

Well, Obama just came out in favour of gay marriage. I expect Romney to win.

Glad to see I'm not the only one.  Way to go, O.

I'm still giggling over the Politico dude's tweet that pink smoke was coming out of the White House chimney :D

That was pretty fucking funny.

Nope, Obama will win.

Obama will win, just barely. Senate flips to the Republicans. House goes bat shit and elects a Tea Party speaker. Even less will get done in the next 4 years relative to the previous 4 years.

I dunno...I kind of want to say Obama will win, but I right now, I got the feeling that the Democratic base is not as charged as it was for him the first time around...and nothing charges the GOP base/Tea Party-types like a Democrat in the White House.

Of course, the flaw in that theory is Bill Clinton.  :P

Obama; Democratic majorities in both the Congress and the Senate.

Right now Romney.  It's too soon to tell.
Same w/House and Senate.  Electorate angry and frusterated.

Like the poll says, who do you think will win? And why?

For bonus points, who's going to control each of the Houses?
Obama will win, he just got the gay vote to tip the balance.

I believe the House of Representative will be Republican, with Democrat Senate.

He already had that.

Obama has the incumbent advantage, and I just don't see Romney loved enough and Obama hated enough to get the swing voters vote for Romney.

In fact, if anything, Romney comes across as rather petty and despicable.
