I would vote for Gary Johnson if I didn't think it was so important to get obama out, worst president ever. I don't think he's incompetent, I think he's hell bent on destroying the country.

Bear in mind i'm from UK and i know nothing about US politics but i think Romney could win it.

Yes i've looked at the odds and Obama is the overwhelming 2/5 favourite with Romney 15/8 but i still think Romney could win because at the last election probably usual non voting black Americans came out in force to vote for Obama because they wanted a black person to be president; now 4 years on will those same people bother voting this time?

Remember i know nothing about US politics and Obama is probably loved by all you America people and he'll win by landslide.

I saw one poll that reported Obama winning the Electoral College and Romney winning the popular vote. If the Electoral College vote ends in a tie, the president would be decided by the Democratic controlled Senate and the Vice President would be decided by the Republican controlled House. Accordingly, we could theoretically end up with Obama as President and Ryan as Vice President.

Hey Cusp, how many people voted more than once? Not me.

I know this is controversial but i wouldn't be surprised if Obama and his people are secretly delighted about Hurricane Sandy. He's bound to get more airtime and he can show America what a caring person he is, he can also show his leadership in a crisis..and i'm sure he and his people are secretly delighted about this. Of course Romney will be devastated.

Politicians get to the top because they are ruthless. Obama's no different.

I think a good rule of thumb regarding political conversations would be to give examples. So if you say Candidate X is untrustworthy, or favours a certain class of citizen over another, give an example to back it up a little.

This will help people outwith the USA get a better idea of what they've done with their time in office, plus it'll show that you have some idea what you're talking about.

I have a feeling Romney is gonna win, while Obama then becoming leader of the UN. Both UN and the USA work hand in hand and Romney will do a Bush and invade Syria/Iran and start WW3.

Just my 2 cents.

Seriously?

While the appointment and approval process of the Secretary-General is outlined in the UN Charter, specific guidelines have emerged regarding the term limits and selection process. These include a limit to two five-year terms, regional (continental) rotation of the appointee’s national origin, and the appointee may not be a citizen of any of the Security Council’s five permanent members

i.e. never going to happen, so don't put your tin-foil hat on just yet.

Seriously what?

Obama won't become the secretary general of the UN. Did you read what I quoted? here it is again:
