How did they count those votes so quickly?
Mr. President, you will win re-election against Mitt Romney.
From 2009 to 2012, you completely eviscerated the myth of Republican superiority on foreign & military affairs.
If you focus on deficit reduction [return to Clinton-era tax rates, Elimination of corporate tax loopholes, means testing for SS & Medicare] and reduced military spending you will defang the Republicans are "fiscally conservative" myth.
Take this from the Republicans and you will set the Democrats up to
hold the Whitehouse & federal judiciary for the next 20 years.
Keep on updating me.obama my choice
Well, that's so quaint! Won't stay a tie, I predict! Lol! In all seriousness, we need Obama to lead us forward to the future for 4 more years, we need Romney only if we're big biz, big oil or the 1%! Since most of us are not, we need the man who has consistantly said he stands w/all of us, not just a percentage!! Obama, Again, please!!
it may have been a tie...but the NH town of Dville Notch had 10 voters, and the breakdown was as follows:
2 democrats, 3 republicans, and 5 undeclared
therefore obama won 3/5 independent votes, even though they both got 5 votes.
lets us not forget that:
"as of 2002, 25.6% of New Hampshire residents are registered Democrats and 36.7% are Republicans, with 37.7% of New Hampshire voters registered as "undeclared" independents."
therefore if this trend of independents voting for obama 3/5 carries over to the other almost 26 % of NH (independent) voters, then Obama is sure to win.
GO OBAMA!
oops my bad! number of registered independents is 37.7% in NH not 26%...regardless, if obama gets 3 out every 5 independent votes in NH its game over for Romney there.
I cant even believe we are even contemplating another Republican President.
Small but a representative of America, the town of Dixville. An indication of what is to come. An exciting Race to the White House
It's going to be a long night.
Unfortunately, that's all I can feel confident in predicting.
Obama/Biden – Get out and VOTE!
I pray God that all of you voters understand that it took Bush administration 8 years to make the damage done in the U.S economy. Logicaly, Obama can't turn that clock in 4 so, just consider the amount of hours it takes to get a pay check and the secondes it takes to spend it. Give your country a chance and apply the vertue of patience. With the wisdom and devoted work Obama has to offer, it is the only chance you have to make it up to a successfull country again. There is no fast fix and talking through your hat don't make things happen, making small logical steps will.
