2012 United States Presidential Election

[Animeniax]

FTFY, no need to thank me.

Please, lets not pretend they are bad on only one side.

Definitely didn't mean to infer it's one sided, but the Dem pundits weren't nearly as bad when Bush was in power as the Rep pundits were during Obama's first 4 years. And the message the Republican pundits put out just seems a lot more hateful.

America was and still is to a large extent a nation built from puritans, so it's not really surprising to see that Romney won most of the states that Republican are expected to win. There are a lot of people who simply vote base on party line and out of habit. For example, it's almost pointless for Dem to vote for national elections Texas because of the imbalance in party power. The same could be said for California and New york where Democrats are expected to win regardless.

The scary thing is that as bad as people make Romney out to be, he's still fairly moderate by the GOP standards.

I think some states vote along racial lines as much as anything else.

It's hard to say what Romney's stances are on issues because he's changed so many of them from the time he was a governor to the Republican primary to now. I was almost looking forward to him winning the presidency because he does seem like a moderate and he might be able to work with Congress to get things passed. Unfortunately Obama will have another 4 years of zero compromise from the Republicans in the House.
