Quite honestly, Obama is more than likely going to be voted out of office. I'm almost positive about it. For me I would have to say I would like to see Ron Paul elected. Ron has the brains and the ideas. I would prefer him to be elected but he lacks that appearance he needs when he is on television. Because of that lack of appearance I'm not so sure he'll get it.

I'm not voting. There's no current runners that I feel I want as my president, so I won't vote for any of them.

I agree the chances for Obama getting re-elected are slim, but hey Bush got elected twice anything is possible hahaha.  I am Canadian so I can't vote in America , but if I could I too would vote for Ron Paul. I havn't been paying too much attention to the current race, as it won't really get rolling for about another year. Just judging from Paul's 2008 platform I believe he would make the best President. Although pretty much every candidate says they will change things Mr.Paul is one of the only ones to explain how he would change things.

Hopefully this election Paul is treated equal to the other candidates. He was regularly left off polls and most of the questions he got asked in debates seemed angled to make him look like he was unpatriotic.


legacyme3 : Thats a good choice , I often don't vote in my Canadian elections if there isn't a representative that represents me. Voter apathy displays a strong message in my opinion.

I think that it would be between Michele Bachmann, Mitt Romney, and Sarah Palin. For one thing they are very electrifying, and they are conservative, I don't see Obama reelected unless the republicans screw up very badly.

In the eyes of many Americans, the Republicans already have screwed up very badly... but their constituents are perfectly happy to ignore all actual facts and blame the president... because clearly everything is his fault.

I'm going for Obama again. There is not a single Republican candidate that I can stand behind. And I am sorry, but gods help us all if Bachmann gets the nomination. I'm sorry, but she's an idiot that gives all politicians, republicans, conservatives, women, and Americans a bad name.

Elara : it was almost funny that people,and even the republicans,were saying how he had failed to deliver on promises early on like healthcare,budget cuts and dont ask dont tell.
Yet it was due to the republicans voting against them that it took so long.if you dont vote in enough of the presidents party what the heck do you expect?
Equaly funny was one republican woman that made a statement against dont ask dont tell.she said they had to protect traditional american values.ironicaly one of these values used to be women stay at home,and men control the congress.
Whitemen of course.
That is the republicans all over.we cant change,we must keep our traditional views.failing to realise the monumental changes america has already gone through.remaining still is stagnation,change is growth.
Past republican presidents are just people the party thought would be popular,the fact they were brain dead morons was insignificant.i mean really?an actor?an iliterate rich boy?they dont belong in power.
There supporters are just as bad.
Arnolnd swarz is the biggest moron iv seen come from europe.becoming the governor of california was it?something like that.and his words in the last election?socialism is bad.i left my homecountry of austria because it had become a socialist hell hole.
I dont know what he'd been drinking but if he thinks austria is extreme socialist hes probably the typical republican that thinks socialism is a TYPE of communism.
Bachmann will be the exact same in all these views,and good luck if he gets in,because seriously,you'll be screwed.
Rant over.

thenumberone : Don't even get me started on Arnold. I hated him as governor! I will give him one thing though... to become an American citizen you have to pass tests showing you know our history and government... which means he probably knows more than Bachmann. "Founding Fathers worked tirelessly to end slavery," seriously? She's been proven wrong multiple times on that one statement and refuses to recant the it and stand corrected. And she won the straw poll?!

geeogree : A lot of the people I knew blamed Congress for their mistakes, and Bush for his. Bush was actually ramming things through Congress though so he had a lot more culpability. And if presented with facts, people then (myself included) would admit to being wrong. I can wave hard facts in front of people's face all I want right now and they are blind. "OMG Obama ruined the economy!" No, that was the Bush administration... remember the economy collapsing BEFORE the 2008 elections? Anyone? No? *facepalm*

Elara : That is exactly why I think Obama won't be re-elected. He will take too much of the blame for the recession. Someone else will inherit the economic mess in 2012 and they will be blamed for not doing enough to fix it in  another 4 years.

smotpoker86 : Ah yes, but then there is always the ace in the hole that we call the "I took out Bin Laden" card that he can play, and with the 10th anniversary of 9/11 coming up next month that is going to play strongly in people's minds.

It is hard to really assess his chances until the circus that is the Republican primary is over though. I still find it amusing that Sarah Palin isn't running, but is acting like she is with this little bus tour, and that people say she is even though she has stated she is not. More than likely it's going to go to Romney. I really do not think that Ron Paul has a chance, he is too much of a Libertarian for the Republicans to back.

I would be happy if Bachmann got the nomination. She is strong and very conservative, which fits well with America. Obama was the one in power for 2 years with an unprecedented super majority. The republicans have simply tried to halt his agenda which makes things worse. It is fault that things are worse. I hope he loses by 49 states. I think it is safe to say he will.

thenumberone : I remember reading that article. It was actually Perry that was threatening Obama. They weren't stuff like I'm going to kill you but he was attacking him politically. I think Perry has a little bit of ideas but he is just to overbearing. He is just to of the wall and extreme for me. We don't need another Bush, and one on steroids for that matter.

I have been following all the different candidates, I have come to the decision of voting for Ron Paul. He seems genuine, smart, and doesn't get caught up in controversy. That in my opinion is the reason he gets covered less by the media. Controversy sells, just hope people realize that there is more to an election than face time.

To be clear, I'm Canadian, so I have a bit of an outside perspective. From the looks of it, the only reasonable candidate is Ron Paul. I don't agree with everything he says, but he's got a decent foreign policy. Unfortunately, it looks like he won't be getting elected. Both sides of the political spectrum are moving way too left/right and Ron Paul seems to be a centrist (albeit leaning towards right), so he won't be winning the Republican nomination.

I can't see anyone actually having a chance other than Romney to be honest.

And if he gets it he needs to run as the "Businessman in the White House". Regardless of whose fault the economy is... it is the easiest target for Romney. Tell people that he won't run the economy like it has been run for the last however many years. Tell people he will fix it no matter what.

I hear Romney everywhere.

I don't like most republican candidates for some reason, as I always seem to lean towards liberal views.

However, Romney is currently the best candidate running. I would go with Obama if he did a little more in office.

Vizzed.com is very expensive to keep alive! The Ads pay for the servers.

Vizzed has 3 TB worth of games and 1 TB worth of music.  This site is free to use but the ads barely pay for the monthly server fees.  If too many more people use ad block, the site cannot survive.

We prioritize the community over the site profits.  This is why we avoid using annoying (but high paying) ads like most other sites which include popups, obnoxious sounds and animations, malware, and other forms of intrusiveness.  We'll do our part to never resort to these types of ads, please do your part by helping support this site by adding Vizzed.com to your ad blocking whitelist.
