Everywhere, it's just a bunch of statistics with the occasional interview inbetween. You might as well watch fox news. However, you're probably better off watching a non-US station, bbc for example. Yeah you could do worse than CNN. Honestly, if you balance your time between Fox News (actual news programs on that channel) and your CNN/ABC type guys, you'll be fine. Just know what the focus on commentary will be on with each one. CNN holds no special status as particularly neutral unless you compare to MSNBC. I voted in California to help color my county red in the Presidential-by-county breakdown, if not have a prayer of changing even one electoral college vote. Thankfully, the initiative system here lets us be part-legislators, giving more than just local seats to actually change. You know most republicans here would be just as well off staying home if it was just a presidential and congressional tickets, given such the wide margin that state and federal offices are carried by one party every time. | ||

I see that you're dropping the Nate Silver theory (Freudian slip?) about Romney's only chance being a "systematic bias against him in all the polls". I was shocked that he was brave enough to write that, because now if Romney does win, and wins big, then we have a straight up admission from Nate Silver that all the polls are biased against Romney. Or we could just accuse the other side of massive election fraud... | ||

Romney wins this year. He screws up pretty bad which results in Fox News throwing their hands up and the Democrats smugly saying I told you so. Obama does some speeches and organizing type thing for four years. Does he try and make a comeback, or let some rising star run? | ||

I doubt this will happen, though, it looks like Obama's going to take it. I hope it stays that way. | ||

If you loose you are out. Think obama would not mind to retire and enjoy a nice life. The presidency has been hard for him, his hair turned completely grey in 4 years. | ||

Romney was a liberal governor. Supported assault weapon bans, closing of coal plants for the environment, pretty much shaped "obamacare" since it was based on his healthcare plan. Romney was a good governor, he was rather socialist, Romney changed and flipped on almost every issue so anyone who enjoyed Romney in Massachusetts will vote for Obama in 2012 because Romney isn't the same Romney. | ||
