Nothing more scary than an uneducated nutter who is convinced he is totally in the right.

I think educated nutters who are convinced they are right have the edge on sinister and hubris (Thatcher, Blair et al). My impression of Obama is that he appears wishy washy because he acknowledges his failings and shows that he's a bit of a rookie in the politics game. I actually think he shows better leadership by recognising his limitations.

All Romney can do is crow about how successful he is as a leader, shrewd businessman and administrator. He had the cheek to come to London and declare London 2012 a failure before it had begun all because he'd delivered an 'awesome' and on budget Winter Games at Salt Lake City. 

Bottom line is that Romney is megalomaniac and if he gets elected, more fool everybody!

Suzy I agree with you completely. When I heard him in the Republican primaries Romney seemed so naive. He is hated internationally, has made a rediculous number of gaffes, has no empathy, sees people as businesses and has a medieval view of women and yet he is STILL in with a chance of winning. Truly scary.  

Had a few republicans knock on the door garnering support. They are truly scary, like invasion of the body snatchers or robots

LOL, be afraid, be very afraid

Incredibly scary and soul destroying Rox! If he wins the whole world will suffer.

I loved how Gov. Christie praised Obama so highly after their visit to the devasted New Jersey area, particularly as Christie's a Republican. I bet Romney's not happy with that being all over the media

Barry Obama...he's just white! 

I'm getting a bit scared now that it's upon us.

Me too. Last night I was listening to Michael Moore on a US News channel - don't know how many here know of him. He said Romney will probably win because of his lies. among other things he mentioned.

Romney Avoids Taxes via Loophole Cutting Mormon Donations

  Brilliant!

I hope Obama gets in,but you never know .America seems to swing wildly from mad right wing nut jobs to more saner folk  and back again.

I think Obama will win, but very narrowly..Taps the corner of nose, and nods wisely..

God Speed Ohio......we're all counting on you 

I have everything crossed for Obama 

Me too.........that Romney bloke   He scares me 

Don't you mean from mad right wing nut jobs to mad left wing nut jobs,

Add the word corrupt in there too and you're on to something!

From Polls across the globe

More than four in five people from 36 countries surveyed favoured Obama

Only China would prefer Romney as the next President

Do polling stations in America not stay open all day?

If they do, why are people queuing in freezing temperatures in humungous queues for hours on end? Why not just come back later?

I honestly believe it won't be as close run as the predictions are suggesting - with Obama the clear Victor.

Sick to the gills how long this election has dominated out telly news  

+1

Voting closes here in FL at 7pm, which means I have 4 hours 17 minutes of these ENDLESS ABOMINABLE TV commercials. PRAISE BE!

 My sympathies Roxan. They're awful even the couple I've seen. 

I'm so grateful for our [limited] party political broadcasts.

They are dire I agree Rosie, nothing like over there. Full of mudslinging, misrepresentations and downright lies. I dont know how they can get away with showing something a candidate has said, cutting and editing it to completely change what the person said in the first place. And it's not just presidential commercials we have all the senate and local elections plus commercials for ammendments too.

Three hours 45 minutes now

Poor Roxan it must feel like being pinned in the corner by a really obnoxious loudmouth  I don't know how they get away with that kind of shameless twisting of things either.

Strangely though when most Americans are interviewed they're much more articulate and have really thought about policies etc than us in the UK. Especially younger ones.

Not too long now 

go Barak

A friend in the US sent me the link. Anyone interested might like to check how the voting's going in the different States. Trying to keep the faith that it's Obama for the win

Thanks Yellow Rose  Obama ftw!

I'm canvassing for Barak Rosie, although I don't know anyone who votes 

 Good for you Dame.

I am a bit worried it will be close... you never know 

Me too Rosie, I've never really bothered about US elections until the last two, but this one is scary
