    Too young for Seniors to trust.

    Women don't like his pro-life position.

    He looks like Eddie Munster.

    Better pick than McCain's bubble-head, but GOP still comes up short.
    Brace yourself for four more years of Obama.

    GG, I'll handle it if that's what happens.  
    Women weren't voting that way anyway if they were wildly pro choice
    Seniors like that their shit isnt touched
    He's better looking than biden and a shitload smarter.  

    If this election is about equality of outcomes, social issues, and class warfare, and fighting corporate greed  then obama wins.
    if this comes down to the economy then ryan wins the day for romney.

    people i know are desperate for work.  our economy just sucks.
    if obama is in again we will have gridlock with a worsening economy and two sides squabbling incessantly.  
    with the gop in you'll get some things changed, good and bad.

    Psssh, please, you know Biden gets way more box.  Which way you think a girls gonna go...tweaking a worthless budget plan all night with an uptight dweeb hell-bent on making the rich richer while kicking impoverished people to the curb OR a non-apologizing freak who appears to be high and having the time of his life up there at the podium?

    I hate to do this, but I might actually have to vote for Mitt.  It's a win/win.  On the one hand, if his magic works, great, I win.  On the other hand, after all the rioting dies down and all the major cities stop smoldering and I can get a handle on the Mitt-apocalypse, then I can say "told you he was full of shit" as I scavenge for food.

    Care to elaborate ?

    Paul Ryan has only passed two bills into law  in more than a decade ( He has been in Congress for about 13 years)

    <QUOTE>


    July 2000 --> a bill  that renames a post office in his district.  the post office on 1818 Milton Ave. in Janesville, Wis., is now known as "Les Aspin Post Office Building."

    December 2008, with legislation to change the way arrows (as in bows and arrows) are hit with an excise tax. Specifically, his bill amended the Internal Revenue Code to impose a 39-cent tax per arrow shaft, instead of a 12.4 percent tax on the sales price. The bill also "includes points suitable for use with arrows in the 11 percent excise tax on arrow parts and accessories."

    That would be a catastrophic disaster for the entire country, I mean if he can't fix the economy in his 1st term with the policies he has in place now...how can he fix it with the same policies in his 2nd term?...impossible!...just the same high unemployment and a staggering projected 20 trillion dollar defict to come...ouch!

    His economic policies aren't working now and so surely it won't work if he gets a 2nd term...why would anyone in their right mind trust him and his clan?...blind ignorant loyalty I guess...lol

    I strongly believe the majority of Americans will not reward an incumbent president a 2nd term knowing he and his clan failed miserably in their 1st term...as an independent I certainly won't vote for him!.

    Romney and Ryan in 012!

    It's the typical shit fest of an election.
    Both sides will screw something up.

    I doubt it drJ - still like Obama in a close one. Once the surge of energy from the base (folks that would vote for him anyway) settles down & everything is laid out, the woman's vote & elderly in key states will get it done for Obama. Gonna get nastier & should be interesting (especially the debates where I expect Obama & Ryan to come out on top in their respective 1's) , but its Obama for 4 more -

    If this election is about equality of outcomes, social issues, and class warfare, and fighting corporate greed  then obama wins.
    if this comes down to the economy then ryan wins the day for romney.

    people i know are desperate for work.  our economy just sucks.
    if obama is in again we will have gridlock with a worsening economy and two sides squabbling incessantly.  
    with the gop in you'll get some things changed, good and bad.  

    We're really fucked as a country if this is the determining factor in this election. Unfortunately this sort of this actually does have an impact on how people vote.

    Unfortunately a very high % of the people that voted for Obama are doing much worse now than they were doing in 2008 and will not get off their ass to vote this time . On the other hand,  the informed voters who realize Obama has been pissing on their foot and telling them it is raining, will get get up very early on election day to put him on the unemployed side of this economy that he did nothing to improve.

    tennis - would agree maybe a decade or so longer ago, but now there's so much media hoopla & intensity surrounding it, I expect the dems to come out in full force. Not good for Romney/Ryan...

    And noone from either side would have the economy in any better shape at this point. Maybe less debt, but no better job & unemployment wise -

    It is uncommon for a govt to have a sole decisive factor of accomplishment. Vast arrays of competing and differing goals exist. Romney-Ryan might be enthusiastic about attempting to lure the citizenry with aggressive tactics that address the state of the economy, but this does not necessarily deliver a knockout blow. The Democrats surrendered power to G. W. Bush in spite of having presided over an almost unparalleled rise in national prosperity and living standards. In the U.K., the conservatives were re-elected in the early 80s and early 90s, even though both elections followed instantaneously after the most severe economic downturn in the land since the 30s. The national unemployment figures were toxic, yet the govt was re-elected. Political marketeers are on familiar terms with voter predilection, but if the size of the political market is the % of the electorate who cast their vote, the amount of those abstaining from the ballot box on the day could be decisive in determining this election. In the U.K. general election in the late 90s, the conservatives surrendered power in a demoralizing whitewash, ending eighteen-years of conservative govt. All the polls advocated prior to the election that Tony Blair would guide the Labour Party into Downing Street, but the magnitude of the victory was a shock for the pollsters. Countless scores of Conservative followers, who were disenchanted by their inevitable overthrow from govt, did not make an effort to vote on the day. Consequently, the pundits failed to forecast correctly the complete size of the market. We must account for the disenfranchised citizenry who will not inconvenience themself in voting on the basis that both Obama and Romney are roads to insolvency. To the general population, the political market contains two very identical but rival trademarks, each renowned from the other by virtue of distinguishing ideological features, however, it is uncommon to encounter groups on the ideological spectrum that can process complex economic information and to process it proficiently to arrive at the optimal choice. drJ, if you want to witness the death of left-wing politics in a country, take a holiday to Australia.

    Vice President candidates are overrated in ability to influence voters.  Normally, voters consider party and policies more important than candidates.  Many voters don't know candidates but just blindly vote for everyone from party.

    Presidents don't "fix" economy's 

    Especially in this day of outsourcing & a global economy. Yes, their policies can influence the economy, but there is no proof whatsoever that anything Romney wants to do or may do will create any more jobs or better the overall economy than Obama. And with Romney and no regs at all on the financial sector, imo we run a greater risk of more war/military involvement & another financial disaster which sure as hell would further hurt the economy.

    You should tell that to Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan.

    Excuse for Obama's failures.

    Actually there is, it is called the Reagan Presidency.

    And with Romney and no regs at all on the financial sector

    And of course this is a total fabrication. Romney has never, ever said he wants "no regulation" on the financial sector.

    14 - did Reagan face this same kind of economy? How much outsourcing of jobs was there during Reagans years? Did he not have a large manufacturing base at that time?

    Total repub myths:

    1) obama has been a failure because the econmy hasn't improved any more than it has.

    2) romney's lowering of taxes, regs & whatever else will spur a flourishing economy with ample job creation

    Keys to Obama Win in November:

    1) Women

    2) the elderly in key states

    3) Latinos

    4) his policies & direction will appeal to & benefit alot more indy's than Romney's

    Reagan inherited the same unemployment rate Obama did.
    Plus double digit inflation.

    The policies Romney is talking about have already been implemented and they have led to economic growth.
