(706 posts)GOP loses. Besides President Obama is a great campaigner while as I've said Rmoney is very weak a lot of it due to unlikability and besides Rmoney doesn't have charisma. Rmoney is so boring he makes my computer fall to sleep and my computer isn't even a living thing!

(45,319 posts)We use paper ballots, which we have for two weeks. We do not use polling places either. We are not the only State that uses no electronic voting.
It is really important that people begin to understand that elections are State run, changes in the system of each State are accomplished by the residents of that State alone. Each State has to take action at the State level. By which I mean those States that have not already done so.
We don't have 'a' Presidential election, we have 50 of them, plus territories. This is why one of the most important officials we vote for it the Sec of State for our individual States, who needs to be a Democrat.

(22,000 posts)he'd retire. There are so many other Democrats that would want to run in 2016 that it would be better to have someone new. That being said, I really hope it doesn't happen.

Largly because they all advocate austerity. As Paul Krugman says, America will look like Ireland does today.
There will be a worldwide DEPRESSION, for starters.
Investment in education, research, and even grants to students for college will vanish.
Cities and towns nationwide will go broke as some places in Michigan are now.
And I don't even want to go on with what services to seniors, disabled, and sick folks will look like.
If Obama loses in 2012, I don't believe he will run again in 2016.

(33,497 posts)too many people in the 'base' will think that he never delivered on his promise and that he was too timid in dealing with the GOP. They will want a fighter--whoever that is.

Well, I would say we might as well not bother to pretend we live in a democracy anymore, and it would be time to admit the Democrats are part of the problem for not standing up and preventing it.

(20,450 posts)He would not win. He would lose, and it would still be due to the same reasons why he lost: (1) money, (2) he's black, (3) Americans are fucking lazy and stupid!!!
