Its not as simple as good or bad economy, Romney is a complete baffon, theres no way he can get elected unless you guys discover Obama has been osama bin laden all along

Go Obama.

I really can't see Republicans uniting well enough to take Obama down.

You could remove all those points and simply say, wich face do you like more ?
I doubt either of these two will do even 1/4 of what they promise.

The question isn't "Who do you want to vote for?" so your option wouldn't make any sense. If you suggested, "Won't vote for either" then you would have a point.

Go Obama.


Actually if someone asked me "who will you vote for, Obama or Romney?" "I Don't want to vote for either" would be a completely fine answer to that question.

No way Obama doesn't get reelected. If the GOP had a decent candidate it would be a close race, but Romney is so out of touch and to win the Republican primary he had to abandon all of his moderate policies in favor of more extreme views. Hell my dad, who I don't think has ever voted Democrat would vote for Obama if the election were today.

Simply put Obama hasn't screwed up all that much, killing Osama Bin Laden was a nice boost for him as well. I was not 18 prior to the last election, but I probably would have voted McCain if there was some way to verify that he would survive his entire term(God damn Palin). I will be voting for Obama this year though

I like a lot of Ron Paul ideas, but his idea of destroying the banking system is way too risky.

I don't like any of the candidates, especially Ron Paul (he's fucking insane), but I have to vote for the best of the worst, Obama.

I think Romney will win but I think it's pretty irrelevant who wins. Their records are pretty similar so the edge goes to the white guy.

Scumbag europeans will ruin this poll (^_^) Really to us (at least in Denmark) Obama is somewhat a right-wing politician and Romney is just off the charts right winged. I think if a vote between these two happened in Scandinavia Obama would have 80%+ of the votes.
