Default The all singing and all dancing one and only Presidential election thread.

So it seems like you lot are behaving like a bunch of politician and debating whether to create a Presidential election thread. Well here it is...

So, I'll start. Obama must be pissing himself that Romney is making this so easy for him. So long as the economy doesn't go tits up in the next couple of months it's in the bag.

You must have a grossly inflated opinion on the common sense of the average voter.

No, I don't think so. Polls have consistently shown Romney behind, and again if the economy doesn't go tits up I don't see that changing.

For that matter - even if the economy does go tits up, what the hell is Romney going to be able to do anyway? He doesn't know his arse from his elbow as it is.

Hw will do what he does best (allegedly). He will lay people off, close down Government Offices, and outsource those jobs and Departments to China, or India.

For what they are worth, the gap is within the normal margin of error on the national polls.

He could sell off the productive areas of America, and disestablish the rest.

Looks like everyone is willing to pitch in and help in case he forgets to insult someone.

Yup I'm rooting for a Romney victory, and a tea-party sweep in Senate and House. That'll make it easy to convince the wife to move to the UK sooner rather than.. never.

Talking about Romney, what could ultimately do him in is the disrespect he shows to the US media. Those folks will work out ways to punish him.
