I would like to know what the reactions of both political party loyalists would be IF their candidate lost in November. Who would you blame (if anyone); what will you do for the next 4 years; do you think a split Congress should work together for the country or just keep with the strict party lines and hold up progress?

Me - I will say the people of the nation have spoken and Congress should work together for the betterment of America with give and take from both sides.

1. Blame ? Not sure what you mean by that but I would suppose I would blame the complete lack of any discussion of what needs to be done.

2. What will I do ? Same as I am now unless the candidate makes such the changes that need to be made in this country and then it will be rough as we try to get rid of the deficit.

3. Congress ? I now have to go a bit party on this, because one candidate had a chance and failed, thus if that is the way the election goes, no change or worse as that is the direction it is now going. If the other is elected, he has a mountain to climb but is better served with experience to get it done although that means very little.

Let's deal in facts and not fantasy.

Either way it goes Bugster, them boys on the Hill need to stop fiddlelin. Example: Harry's waste of Senate time spreading rumors about Gov. Romney's taxes.

On the evening of November 6, at around 11:05 PM, after California results come in and Obama wins reelection, at 11:06 PM, expect to hear Faux News begin their ACORN whinning. After which their "special correspondent" (aka The Wasilla Quitta) will be on whinning about the lame stream media.

Guaranteed !!!!!!!!!!!

I am a Democrat but sometimes vote for Republican candidates. For instance, I voted for Bush in 2000 and 2004. Obama in 2008 though. And, I had little notion of just what Obama meant to do except for the national health care promise.

So, if Mitt Romney wins in November I will just have to work with what I got. If Romney wins, it would be very interesting to see what Romney does in January after taking office as POTUS. I see Mitt Romney as being someone who puts practical realities above campaign promises so it is very hard to guess just what he is going to do in the future.

He is kind of like President Chester Arthur in that he could turn out to be a huge surprise both to the party that elected him (as VP though) as well as to his handlers. http://www.whitehouse.gov/about/pres.../chesterarthur

Quote about President Chester A. Arthur--"Publisher Alexander K. McClure recalled, 'No man ever entered the Presidency so profoundly and widely distrusted, and no one ever retired ... more generally respected.'" (from above whitehouse.gov linked article)



I do not see Mitt Romney winning unless President Obama takes some very serious missteps or Romney excells against Obama in the debates. Doubt if Romney's VP pick will have much of an impact unless it is someone like the NJ Governor, Jeb Bush, Condi Rice, or someone else with a huge political following.

If Romney wins the righties on this board will suddenly have to find a new hobby or interest to consume their time and "passion".

DaleMN we will probably have to eat crow for a few months at least if Mitt Romney wins in November.

The far righties will have plenty to whine about

some of us don't use the concept of finding "blame" for anything.
If Obama wins it would be a result of everybody that bought into his words last time did so again this time.....that is unlikely.

In addition the usual voter apathy will be a major factor for Romney (and Obama as well).

If Obama wins I would expect no more improvement over the next 4 years than we have seen to date. There will be no more cooperation in congress than there is today. Obama as a lame duck POTUS will do some even more unpopular things as a result of no worry about being elected again. A major concern is the number of Supreme court justices who are getting old enough to bail out during an Obama term just to have him put in more liberal replacements.

And if Obama wins life would go on...the good news we will at least know for sure when we will get rid of him.

Now that I have participated in a la la land scenario....I look forward to Romney crushing Obama in November.

Not a chance in Hell President Cry Baby will win, I'm telling you right now. I also predict that the economy will begin turning around next year almost immediately once BO is gone... simply because he is gone. Once we start dismantling the damage he's done it will start getting even better.

The USA is ready for a recovery and the only reason why it's stalled is because most business is afraid of what BO is doing and may do if he does get reelected. If we take the Senate back which I believe we will, you'll start to see things happen very rapidly.

Second prediction, when BO does loose by a landslide, you'll see the left turn on him and lay all the blame on him.

Don't forget that Carter was up double digits in the polls running right up to election day and then he lost in a landslide. Remember?

If Mitt Romney wins fair and square, without people being denied the right to vote, I'll have to live with it or move to Costa Rica. If Romney wins because of voter suppression and voter purges, it will be a very sad day for America.

If Mitt Romney wins fair and square, without people being denied the right to vote,

Maybe Mitt can bring out the Black Panthers with billy clubs to stand in front of the polling places? Maybe if we have a few more dead people, illegals and pets registered to vote, Obama will have a chance.

Bye.

How do you really feel?

if obama wins it will be due to the same folks doing the same thing over and over - obsessive compulsive behavior or insanity if they expected a different result; and i will encourage my nieces/nephews to enter some field of research to discover a pill that will cure it.

if romney wins, when i say my prayers i will surely include a great big thank you for the win!
