Is the United States ready to vote in another Republican for 2012?

If the Republicans field a competent, moderate candidate (Huntsman, or even Romney), I'd say they'd be the favorites. Huntsman I think would win easily unless the economy turned a 180 in the next 12 months, and Romney I think would be a favorite.

If they pick just about anyone else, I think Obama will have a very strong chance at reelection.

At this moment in time I feel anyone has got to be better than Obama...too bad the Democratic party just can't oust him out and select another candidate for the 2012 elections (and by ousting him out, I mean let him finish the term but pick a different candidate as if he's already served two terms).

[QUOTE="Sunfyre7896"][QUOTE="ZumaJones07"]Is the United States ready to vote in another Republican? I seriously doubt that will happen. Obama has the 2012 election wrapped up. I do not think the majority of the US is ready to accept having another Republican in office simply because of Bush and what he did to the image of the party. Obama didn't really deliver on his "change" (positive change, maybe the health care bill though, I thought that was a good victory), but I think the US is more apt to giving Obama a second chance than handing the top spot back to Republicans. Discuss.DroidPhysX

I'm sure the 14 million +/- chronically unemployed people are thrilled with Obama (not to mention those that are underemployed). As are the millions of college grads that have no career to speak of, yet have mountains of debt.

We'll see I suppose. As they say, "Is your life better now than it was 4 years ago?" Nothing will surprise me.

[QUOTE="DevilMightCry"] It's all about profit? Why else have a company? That is why a company exists in the first place. It's not their job to make sure you eat. It's yours. They don't exist to fund beaurocrats, and social programs. DevilMightCry

Hope so.

im so sick of the bush haters open your eyes people what has obama done that has really improved anything in 4 years? not much the economy still sucks employment is still high and has not improved much either. this guy is a one term president. we are far worse off with him in office 4 more years. http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/datablog/2011/oct/07/us-jobless-unemployment-dataxbox360isgr8t

being sick of Bush haters doesn't really change the facts. Just the way you view the facts.

I voted "nope." Not saying he can't win, but "in the bag" wouldn't be a realistic answer. The economy is bad and people tend to blame whoever happens to be in office at the time for these things. He could get re-elected, but he has a real fight on his hands.

:lol: Hell no :| That wold be insane. I hope whatever you do this election don't go Republican. Go green party or libertarain for all I care. Just not Republican...their lineup is a joke.

Has the Country gotten better? In some ways yes and in other ways no. Being a IT guy Obama has really done a lot for people in the information sector.

Has the Economy improved? Not in the way it should, but what it comes down to (for me) is who I see working to improve it and who is working to stagnate it for politcal points.

Has the status of our Troops improved? Actually yeah in a lot of ways. We are finally getting out of Iraq at the end of the year, we handled Libya in a way that didn't cost tens of thousands of American lives or that much money, and the more we can do with a light touch as opposed to an all out invasion the safer we shall be. We do need to get out of Afghanistan though so you have me there I suppose.

Has unemployment rates improved? No, but again I see certain people trying to improve the situation and others trying to stagnate the situation.

And most importantly... Are you better off today then you were four years ago? Yes, but that has nothing to do with Obama and everything to do with me getting out of fast food, more education, and getting a girlfriend. I suppose you could thank Obama for pushing for more education by granting more scholarships, but that never really affected me personally.

I would say the majority of Americans would vote NO to at least 4/6 of the questionsfueled-system

I hope we do vote another Republican in. They can pick up where Bush left off and finish running the country into the ground. Maybe this time they'll finally be able to privitize Social Security and put it in the stock market where it belongs.:roll:

Doesn't matter what party gets elected to me. As long as someone gets in there and does their job - with my conservative views ;)

The Republican field looks weaker and weaker. The most potential they have is in Romney, and with his viewpoints he'll just do jack s*** like Obama did. Paul won't get elected despite actually understanding economics and politics, and the rest of the GOP field is full of morons (Perry, Santorum, Cain, etc.).

But like others have said, it won't make much of a difference unless someone who actually knows what they're doing and won't give into the slightest pressures from corporations and bureaucratic sycophants is elected. That very obviously won't happen...

It's not that the people won't vote for a Republican candidate... if Obama does pull out the victory it will be because of the laughably weak candidates the GOP has to offer. Maniacc1

It's hard to tell, but Romney is the only sane choice compared to the rest. I think the main issue with next election will be not as many people voting as they did in 2008.

I can't honestly think of one good thing he has done, except put us in even more debt than all the previous presidents combined. I hope he gets elected again so we can have very expensive green jobs everywhere. Maybe another super stimulus bill so we can build more bridges to nowhere, or turle crossings because those turtles need safe areas to cross busy highways. Man he truly is the best president to ever sit in the oval office.

On a more serious note, my next door neighbor's dog creates more shovel ready jobs than that S.O.B ever claims he has created. Point blank, government does'nt create jobs, they interfere with jobs.

Newt for the win!!!!

If Obama is spending his time building bridges why don;t you join the department of transportation. There are jobs there. YOu can just build a bridge to know where.curtkobain

Are you seriously suggesting we build bridges just for the hell of it to put people back to work? And you say Republicans are the problem. :lol:

I'm 99% sure Romney will get the nomination, because he's the most well known and not too extreme. But I don't think he has a chance against Obama.

No. I'm not the one claiming that bridges are being built to nowhere. You are the one who said you could join the military to get a job. You can't claim that the gov't doesn't supply jobs when they have the DOT and military. curtkobain

Bridges to no where don't exist? :lol: And of course I'm only referring to the US ones.

Who claimed the government can't supply certain jobs? Not I. The military is a great supplier of jobs.
