BREAKING NEWS....ROMNEY 49% OBAMA 48% IN FINAL NATIONAL GALLUP POLL~

GamingTitan

Which is 6 points less than it was some weeks ago, which means that Obama has the momentum. Combined with right-leaning Rasmussen having the race a tie, I view it as looking good for Barry.

You guys should get rid of the electoral vote thing now. It's outdated.

If Obama wins the EC, but loses the popular vote, you will see much controversy about the EC. This might be the election that kills off the EC.

I'm looking forward to the riots that will happen when Obama is voted out. They will be potentially Europesque

Actually you don't, since states can determine how to allocate their electoral votes as they see fit. You don't have to literally abolish the electoral college, you can just circumvent it.

Yeah in 2011.

It's bullsh1t because the Liberal and NDP vote was splintered. If they were just one party then Harper would have lost and we'd have been happier. It's one of the reasons why I dislike having more than two prominent parties.

in 2011 he got les than 40% of the vote.

And while you may not like harper (and I don't wither,) we should count our blessings that we don't live in a 2 party system.

I don't think the media would have too much fun with him dnying interviews, never holding meaningful press conferences or QA sessions, and filling the white house with only pictures of him. :P
