I predict a big Obama loss. Romney just needs to remain an “acceptable” candidate and point out what a bad job Obama has done, and he should win easily.
Romney will win all of the Bush states, plus PA and WI, and will challenge in many other blue states. He should win comfortably.
It would be unprecedented for Obama to win. No president has ever been re-elected with such poor support numbers. It seems that much of America has Obama-fatigue.
In 2008, there were at least plausible reasons for the average sheeple American to take a gamble on Mr. Hope-n-Change. He ran on the heels of an unpopular incumbent, an unpopular war, an economic collapse, an incompetent GOP opponent, and a fawning, adoring media that refused to vet him and actively promoted him. He ran as a movement, and a lot of suckers bought it.
He can’t hide this time. Granted, the American electorate is capable of being stupid (that’s how we ended up with this clown in the first place). But we usually self-correct.
That’s why Romney was not necessary. We should have nominated a true conservative. This was the year to do it.

What an understatement! I think the fear of another Obama administration caused too many to play it safe with Romney. If Romney wins, he won't be trusted, at least by anyone to the right of McCain, and that's most of the party.
This is how they continually move to the left, the GOPe know that they could have run anyone, but they chose the most liberal of the bunch, and I am sure they actively discouraged some better candidates.
Obama has the advantage of incumbency. He has the media. He has the unions. He has all government workers. He has everyone on the public dole. He has limitless financial resources. He has the “Chicago way” of fraud, now on a national scale.
Romney generates 0 enthusiasm among conservatives.
Odds favor Obama’s re-election.
