    Are you sure this is a good idea Mike? I mean, remember when Fox News called it in 2000? We don't want to be responsible for another debacle like that, do we?

    2-1 win for Mitt om the away leg but a 3-2 win for Barrack on the return match.

    Obama will win...and he'd better, if Romney wins I'm calling WW3 by 2014.


  • Registered Users Posts: 553 ✭✭✭BASHIR


    Obama with a KO in the third. But Romneys estranged mormon cousin to avenge him in the rematch.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,293 ✭✭✭✭Mint Sauce


    The other fella. What ever his name is.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,314 ✭✭✭BOHtox


    It's too close to call for me. But if someone held a gun to my head and forced me to pick I'd guess Obama. I do however think Obama's vote is greatly exaggerated and the result will be really close. I think we could be looking at a small difference of no more than 50 electoral votes.

    A wild guess, Romney just to edge the popular vote and Obama to edge the electoral vote.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,772 ✭✭✭byronbay2


    Well, we've got to support our own, don't we? It's got to be Obama.:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,070 ✭✭✭✭My name is URL


    Obama will run away with it. It's nowhere near as close as the mainstream media are suggesting. They seem more interested in entertaining people than informing them.

    Obama to win with at least 58%

    Urrl is right. Obama is winning 9 out of 10 polls eith the other being a tie. Id bet my best friends live on a Obama win.

    You realise the polls are not conducted by media alone

    It's a very close race, although Obama will probably shade it due to his lead in Ohio

    romney, thanks to a corrupt judgement by the US supreme court, a lá 2000

    Wrong answer! The person holding the gun is an NRA card carrying, Jesus loving, Texas redneck!

    Absolutely agreed. Obama has it in the bag.

    Would be amazed if Romney managed to win.

    The FiveThirtyEight blog on the New York Times is worth following.

    The author, Nate Silver reckons that Obama's chances of winning are over 90%

    Nate Silver has an excellent record when it comes to predicting election results. I'd say Obama has it in the bag.

    I'd be very surprised if Obama doesn't win it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,195 ✭✭✭✭Pherekydes


    Obama will kick a FG as time expires to foil Romney's Hail Mary pass into the end zone.

    "We're into the 4th quarter, the bases are loaded and Romney has a full court press..."

    I can't wait.
