Very likely.

Or an electoral tie, in which case say hello to President Romney and Vice President Biden.

The chances of that are slim and none. And, slim just left the building. :pound:

That would be funny though. A Mormon and a Moron. :pound:

80% of Canadians prefer Obama over Romney. 64% of Chinese prefer Obama. 84% of Japanese prefer Obama.

Therefore, a majority of the people of the above countries are stupid.

66% of Israelis are routing for Romney. This means that 34% of Israelis are ignorant.

Yeah, that sounds unbiased.

I clicked ''Look Inside!'' and the book is blank, indicating that both political parties are alike. Haha...that's good for a chuckle but it is far from the truth.

Which indicates you don't fully understand the joke. It's not about whether the parties have differing opinions (even though they actually don't in some cases), but about whether either party makes some sort of significant change. Rarely does change really come from either party. That, my friend, despite what one's internal fanaticism would tell them, isn't far from the truth.

Also... WHY DID YOU SPOIL THE JOKE D=<

I'm calling it now: Obama wins. He's going to take Ohio, which Romney needs, and he's going to just barely take Florida too. It's going to be a lot closer than 2008, though.

Nov 6th 2012 = the birth of socialism in America
Nov 6th 2016 = the birth of communism in America

My brother is a huge Obama fan, and I casually mentioned that he caste a vote for abortion.
We might as well start the printing presses on the dollar right now.

Congratulations to Mr. Obama for winning the presidency.

I just have one thought. I just hope President Obama can overcome the problems that he inherited from the guy who was in office for the last four years. :mrgreen:

Good one Rick.

What this election says to me is that the GOP is drifting further out of touch. George W Bush did irreprable harm in galvanizing the middle class against the GOP. Bush was a disaster in so many ways. People want to blame Obama but he inherited a mess. Much of it the doing of GOP fat cats deregulating, and then making good ole boy deals to line their pockets. The whole mess blew up. The Romney plan was to blame Obama, when everyone knows he took over a giant quagmire.

Romney was not affective in distancing himself from the old gaurd. And I think the reason is that he is not that different.
Further, the GOP was not affective in communicating its positions. For example, there were ample oppotunities to communicate on abortion when the issue came up in debates. The candidates failed miserably. Why? Because the position is merely a talking point for them. They know conservatives are pro-life, therefore they are pro-life. I don't think the issue truly resonates at the heart for Ryan and Romney.

Ryan. This guy was chosen to try to stimulate the conservatives. Epic fail. I didn't like the guy and he seemed like a mousy little man who spewed rhetoric.

The GOP doesn't relate to me. It seems like a good ole boy network.

The people have spoken and they have only themselves to blame or congratulate down the road.
