billvon 2,400 #5 November 5, 2012 Around 310 for Obama. I think Romney's final big mistake was the dishonest ad about Jeep; even FOX News is going after him for it. That will guarantee Ohio goes to Obama. Romney will still get Florida and North Carolina. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,123 #16 November 5, 2012 My preference would also have the electoral winner (I agree close is good) winning the popular vote as well. Some people are going to like the future direction of the country, and others aren't. That's probably been true in a couple of other elections. I heard an interview with US historian David McCullough about the 1800 election -- that made this one sound pretty tame, and it was between founding fathers John Adams and Thomas Jefferson.Wendy P.

I too want a clean election However, I want a large margin for Romney should he win The left is already setting up to de-legitimize his victory should he win. A large margin will make that harder.

This election is the worst/most rancorous/most negative ever; just listen to the news. ======== Campaign Stops September 27, 2012 Is This the Nastiest Election Ever? By PETER MANSEAU A month after pundits declared the current presidential contest the “meanest,” “nastiest,” “most poisonous,” and “dirtiest campaign in history,” those summer laments already seem like poignant reminders of a kinder, gentler time. Thanks to recent efforts to score political points on violence in Egypt and Libya, and charges of class warfare rising on both sides, this mean and nasty season has only gotten worse. ========== Most Negative Election In History? By Jane Susskind 07/19/2012 With 16 weeks unti the general election, there has been a noticeable increase in negative advertising by both Mitt Romney and Barack Obama. According to Kantar Media, 89% of Obama’s ad buys featured an anti-Romney message, while 94% of Romney’s ads were attacking President Obama. . . .
