igbo2011: I don't like either. I like Jill Stein but too bad she won't win. Just two imperialists. Africans need to be aware that both of these men will bring hell to Africa.


Will they bring hell to Africa, or has Africa already been hellish even before they were born?

Nah u I go take celebrate tongue

*Ileke-IdI:


I dont think so. My school has been agitating (A population of 55-56000 students alone) for Obama. About 250 faculties and staffs have donated money to the Obama committee on campus. Obama committee helped with transportation to voting events. etc.

Miami is predominately a blue zone.

I believe in Florida to give Obama a second chance.
Don't kid yourself.
Y'all can donate as much as u like. The Fact remains all your efforts will not come fruition.
The Exits polls are currently predicting a Mitt Romney victory by the slimmest of margins.

Give me Florida and Ohio, that guy is back in Chicago. Team Romney babe! grin grin grin

If Mr Romney is to win that vote, as distinct from the popular one, he needs somehow to get from 191 to 270. That is not quite as daunting as it sounds. In Florida he has consistently led the polls since immediately after the first presidential debate, on October 3rd, in which the president performed so badly. More to the point, all the signs are that the president has given up on the state, investing neither time nor much money there. Florida suffered worse than almost any other state in the recession, and the recovery has been particularly weak.

So it is not unreasonable to assume that Florida, with its 29 votes, as well as North Carolina, with its 15, now sit in the Republican camp. (Similarly, Pennsylvania, with 20, though ever on the Republican wishlist, does not seem minded to move out of the Democratic camp this time round, although it too remains a close race.)

Add Florida and North Carolina to the 191 solid Romney votes, and he has 235. To win, another 35 votes are still needed. Where might he get them? Two obvious possibilities lie thousands of miles apart, in Colorado, in the mountain West, and in Virginia, the other remarkable upset that Mr Obama pulled off in 2008 by winning a state that the Republicans had held since 1968. At the moment both states are in a tie, according to RCP’s rolling average. Mr Romney had a wildly successful rally in liberal Denver last week, though, suggesting that he might in fact take Colorado. Virginia is still anyone’s guess.

But even if Mr Romney adds Colorado (nine votes) and Virginia (13 votes) to his probable haul, he still ends up with only 257—a tantalising 13 votes short. Nevada (six votes) is, we think, out of reach for him; too many Latinos vote there. New Hampshire (four votes) and Iowa (six votes) are too small to help much, and Mr Romney is trailing in both (though in Iowa he has a chance: all four of the state’s main newspapers have endorsed him).

Which brings us, as with all recent elections, to the Midwest. If Mr Romney could secure Ohio, with its 18 votes, he would have the election in the bag. But his momentum there may have stalled, leaving him a couple of points shy of victory. Both contenders have spent more time there than anywhere else: neither seems to have acquired any momentum.

Mr Romney does have a couple of other Midwestern options. He could win in Wisconsin, the home of his running-mate, Paul Ryan. The polls have been shifting in his favour since the first debate; but he is still trailing by a couple of points. And Wisconsin carries only ten votes, so he would still need to pick up one other state. Either Iowa or New Hampshire would do it: if it were New Hampshire, he would win the Electoral College by a breathless 271-267.

There is, however, a last possibility, if only a long shot. This week’s most intriguing news is that Michigan (Mr Romney’s native state, but long thought to be solidly Democratic) is also on the move. A poll in the Detroit News had Mr Obama’s lead, despite the car industry bail-out, down to just 2.7% from 6.7% a month ago. If Michigan is really in play, November 6th will be a very long night.

Obama should nick it. But, man, this election is way too close. Both candidates were still hustling voters as of noon. Romney and team showed up in Cleveland, and Joe Biden makes a quick stop as well. All on election day.

Even voting machines are rigged to indicate Romney, anytime you select Obama. WTF?

I don't have problem with anyone becoming president. But I, generally, prefer a republican president in white house. Bad or Good, S/he is predictable.
