Romney will tie this up. He will be the candidate that Obama will BEAT.
The country is so divided, it will be close. Obama needs unemployment to steadily go down to maybe 7.5% by November. But more important, since the actual unemployment number is BS because it doesn't count people that have stopped looking, he needs to have job growth above 200,000 monthly from now until election day.

Would it be any different if Romney wins, for most of their lives Obama and Romney have agreed on virtually every issue. Sure Romney changed now that he needs to win the primary just like Obama did in 08, but when it comes down to it they have way more in common than different. Romney is Obama continued....

South Carolina Likely Republican Primary Voters Jan 11-12 2012
Gingrich 25% Huntsman 1% Paul 20% Perry 9% Romney 29% Santorum 7% Other 2% Undecided 7%
Mitt Romney leads the South Carolina Republican presidential primary with 29%. Newt Gingrich is in second place with 25% and Ron Paul is in third place with 20%.
Paul has gained the most and Rick Santorum has lost the most since the last American Research Group survey on January 4-5. In that survey, Paul was at 9% and Santorum was at 24%.
I understand that there are a lot of Ron Paul Groupies on this board, and that you will support him to the end (and even beyond the end)... But is there anyone who still thinks that Paul has any chance of ever being elected US President?
IMO, Romney could disappear tomorrow and Paul still wouldn't get elected. I don't blame you for supporting him if you support Paul's views... but some on this board still act as if he has some faint realistic chance of being elected.
Paul can still influence US Policy by putting out his message or by running as a third party candidate, or even in the very remote chance that Paul were to be chosen as a VP.

Yes we are winning, as long as the message spreads we win.

OK, so if Paul gets 1% of total votes, the Paul Groupies can still claim VICTORY!
Heads I win, tails you lose.

Paul offered the military a ticket home from a war zone. That is the entire scope of the Military support for Ron Paul... "a ticket home. "
Obama ran against McCain and made the same offer, to pull troops out of Iraq in 2008. ~ Even though McCain was a son of an Admiral... ~ Even though McCain was a former POW... ~ Even though McCain was a graduate of Annapolis... ~ Even though McCain had a decorated 22 year military career... ~ Even though McCain was a seasoned fighter pilot... Military contributions to Obama, a man who never wore the uniform, were 6 times more than to McCain.
Obama knew how to get the military $$$ and vote... so does Paul. It's called (depending on how you look at it) an "incentive" or a "bribe" or "voting for self interest" or "a political point of view".
