Who Will Win the 2012 U.S. Presidential Election

[SnappleLlama]

I think Bunchies could win if people only looked past the color of his skin to the content of his character.

 

[trey4sports]

no and no!
the average joe is coming around to Ron Paul, not neccessarily the liberty movement. Dr. Paul has got a lot of media and now people understand who predicted the financial crisis and how to get out of it. Ron Paul has name recognition and i have personally struggled with the idea of running a 78 yr old man or a charismatic 60 year old gary johnson but i think Ron Pauls name recognition holds much more value than the tradeoff of his old age

I truly believe Mitt Romney will win the 2012 election and I would be pretty happy to see that improvement compared to Obama. If Mitt completely ignores Ron Paul and the CFL, then he probably won't win, but I have a feeling we'll start to agree on more things as we become united in our loyal resistance to Obama's socialist policies. If Mitt doesn't accept more of our ideas, then Sanford will win.

Even though I dont completely agree with the algorithm,it does give some indication of the political realities in America.That is why I am not pushing Gary Johnson.
I hope Sanford runs...he has the ability to win.I am getting more and more impressed with Sanford every day.

Sanford 2012!!!

Johnson must surely have a high electability with his years as governor but he is out of the public eye

He could be on the ticket with Sanford...and turn Nevada, Colorado, and New Mexico red...let them slip out of Obama's fingers

If Rand Paul gets into the Senate in 2010, he could then run for President in 2012!

Do we REALLY want ANOTHER "Obama"candidate? lol

Yeah I'm pretty sure being Jewish isnt a negative, Last I heard 90%+ would vote for a Jewish Man. Maybe being a Mormon/Muslim/ something else is a draw back, but not that great of one seeing as how well Romney did. But being an Atheist I'm sure is the campaign killer.

No chance for me! lol. Why people rely on symbols as values is beyond me. People have a higher intelligence just so they can manipulate others it seems, not so they can make individual, logic-based decisions. With that said, atheist interest groups make it worse by insisting that God be banned from every sector of human life. Errr...they counteract their own cause.

Are you saying that Rand doesn't have any ability to be the President?

*shrug* I don't know.

But, we've used the attack that "Barack only served a couple years in the Senate, then he started his Presidential Campaign. How can he possibly know anything about something so serious?"

Well, if Dr. Paul's kid only does the same thing, the Democrats can do the same thing against US!

I never used that argument against Obama. I don't think one has to be a Washington insider to be President.

There's no reason to rush a candidate into the white house. Run for the Senate to serve a full term - don't be like Hillary and run just for the prestige so you can parlay it into a presidential run.

The one that gets 270 electoral votes.

Regarding Rand 2012 - unlikely

Even if he got into the senate in January 2011, then he could only serve for 3-6 months before declaring for President. That's really not enough.

He also does not have the necessary name recognition yet. He would have to wait until his political career is much farther along to run for the top spot. Barack Obama had four years as a Senator but he was the media's adopted son so of course he's an exception. Sarah Palin had more experience than him because she was a Governor, not a Senator. But of course the media hated her guts.
