Anyway, for the rest of the folks… Any takers on Romney versus Obama.

I was saying Obama is going to win for the past few months with the precondition that the economy holds up they that is was…Well guess what? My prediction now is that if the stock market continues to tank the way it is up to the election, he ain’t going to make a second term.

I agree. But I doubt the market will continue to tank. Spain was an issue today. Futures are up right now. A correction is still due, unless earnings are way beyond expectations.

But, if the market is relatively stable, and job creation continues, it should be a lock for an Obama 2nd term. It’s a bit like ’88, dems just weren’t excited about Michael Dukakis. Though republicans today hate Obama a whole lot more than anyone hated Bush I. But they’re still not going to be all that excited about Meh Romney. And women will elect Obama to a 2nd term. And if republicans aren’t pretty damn careful with women’s issues between now and the election, they may also elect a Democratic house. Senate should be safe too.

If the recovery stalls, market correction lasts and doesn’t recover most of its losses by October, Romney could win. But it will still be close. Obama has a shit load of money.

Bonus prediction: Nikki Haley will be the running mate. Palin only smarter. Southern Baptist heads will explode with no Christians on the Republican ticket.
