Intrade has mitt romney winning the nomination for the republicans at this time. I love intrade and its the most accurate forecaster out there because people buy shares of stocks in future events. its number 1.

anyways, they have romney winning it right now facing obama.

right now on intrade obama is at 62.5 for re-election. meaning, if the election was simulated 100 times, he would be re-elected 62.5 of the 100 times.

im curious who you would vote for between the two and why.

intrade doesnt print or say anything. its a large group of people who buy shares in future events and the markets react accordingly to what is being bought and sold.

right now at this moment romney is the guy for 12 if it was decided tonight. of course things can always change, but its romney at the moment

Sarah Palin would beat Obama right now.

I could beat Obama right now.

Romney is another Progressive, with an R by his name... No thank you!

Rand Paul has not even held a seat in congress yet. Has not held any political office at all, yet he is the best thing going against the Progressive machine. The dirtbaggers have met their match with him and Christie.

He passed health care, he passed laws to protect consumers from credit card companies, he passed laws to reign in Wall Street, he prefers to use diplomacy rather than knee jerk wars when dealing with the middle east, he passed stimulus bills rather then let this country fall into another depression. He realizes middle America is the backbone of this country, not just the the richest few, he realizes gay Americans should be treated equally, not discriminated against, he realizes women should have sole power over their reproductive decisions, not some bible thumper, he honors the rights of all Americans to have religious freedom, yet not impose their religious beliefs on others.

He passed health care that over 60% of the people did not and do not want. That is really listening to the poeple, isn't it?

He is the laughing stock of the mid east.

The so called CC protection, OMG< are you living on Mars? It was the most deplorable bill ever signed. He gave the companies 7 or 8 months to raise interest rates on those cards. The only benefit it offers: you have to be notified if your rate is increased and it can not be increased on anything you owe at the time. I know of many people who had their rates go from 7 or 8% to a much as 25%. This is such a help to everyone, especially when the same banks are paying as little as 1/2% of CDs..

Ask my gay foster daughter what he has done for gays. We still have "don't ask, don't tell" and he is opposed to same sex marriage.

The stimulus bill has really helped, I see unemployment rates just nose diving, don't you. Of course he does believe in the rich supporting the poor, iisn't that the American way? Nope, but it seems to be your way.

Woman's rights to control thier body, what has he done and what do you mean? I haven't seen any change on this front for many years, nor do I expect to see changes.

As for honoring the rights to practice religious freedom, where are you getting you mis-guided information and give us the name of a recent President that has interferred in the this right.

You might be right on one or two issues, I don't know which ones but you can't be 100% wrong, just close.
