I don't know about you, but my head is spinning with all the theories out there about who will win this presidential election and why.
I'm as guilty of promulgating them as anyone. Ask any political consultant for a prediction on a race -- on anything really -- and we'll take you on a trip around the world. We're worse than the commentators before an NFL game:
"I'll tell you, Steve, no lefthanded president who has lost the Methodist vote in Wisconsin has ever been re-elected in a year that ends with the number two..."

This is my firm and final theory then -- it is also my first incidentally -- on why I think Mitt Romney will be the next president of the United States:
Romney will win because Barack Obama has not done a good enough job.
That's it.
Call it the Obama-Occam's Razor Theory if you want to dress it up -- the simplest explanation is usually the right one -- or the Homer Simpson "D'oh!" Theory, which I much prefer. But either way, the result on Nov. 6 should be predictable. Most Americans think the country is in trouble and headed more deeply into it rather than out of it, so come Election Day they will replace the current White House occupant with the well-qualified challenger.
Clint Eastwood said this best at the Republican National Convention in Tampa (when he wasn't talking to the chair):
"Politicians are employees of ours," the "Unforgiven" actor and director said. "And when somebody does not do the job, we got to let 'em go."

I bet that the DU is slamming that poll.....
Wrong Bill O’Reilly.
b4? BINGO!
That’s BOR’s fatal flaw with me. He’s a rude, arrogant turd and that makes me discount every POSition he takes.
NOT the same Bill O’Reilly people....sheesh.
Obama has done a terrible job. And when someone does a bad job you do fire them. But you don't replace them with just anybody. You replace them with someone you believe will do a better job, not someone who you are not convinced wouldn't be as bad or worse. So far Romney has made the case he isn't Obama. I'm not sure he has made the case to the majority of people that he would do a better job.
