Now I know it's not us that are voting but what goes on in the US always feeds back to us, so who do you want to win their elections?, personally I really hope Obama gets it, Romney looks like a cross between Ronald Regan and Max headroom, he's also got eyes that say there's somone in but their not the full shilling so don't you dare ring the door bell.
Obama has only had 4 years to try and put the mess left by Texan rattle snake G W Bush so really needs another term at least and I fear even that won't do it totally, my big fear if Romney wins he will do what repuplican president's always like to do and that's to invade or bomb another country for a bit of sport, it would probably be Iran this time round which I also feel would be a big mistake, Iran is to powerful now so there needs to be a calm hand on the healm Obama is a thinker so fits the bill in my book. God help us all if he doesn't win.

    I also hope Obama wins. Romney frightens me but then so did Bush and we survived his time as president.I think Israel have their eye on Iran and agree Obama comes across as more likely to keep calm in a crisis.

    I'm definitely in the Obama camp and not only because he has a face that looks real and doesn't invariably bear a vacuous grin. I see Florida's up to its usual tricks.

    What kind of a name is Mitt? Can anyone really take someone with a name like that seriously? He has a didgy past plus a very shaky grasp of many things - look at the gaffes he made when he was over here pre-Olympics. Barack (stress the 'rack' bit and it's a great name) seems to be more clued-up and it takes time to put right the wrongs of a previous administration (look at us for a start) let alone complicating matters with a world-wide recession. Go Obama, go away Romney. DD

    Ewww Mitt, are people really going to vote for Mitt? Are any women going to vote for Mitt? Surely Obama is the only real option?!

    Phew! I feel like I've woken up to a slightly safer world than I could have done this morning.

    He's the best of the two choices but he has a great deal to do now if he is to convince people of his worth. DD

    Thank [text deleted] for that I was having nightmares Romney had won and Sarah Palin was vice president!.
    PS I stayed up till 3am to watch it and there were 3 counts that came in that made the compares gasp as it was Obama who'd won them, I then went to bed feeling like a child again, knowing that tomorrow would be Chrsitmas, and when I woke up I turned the radio on and bingo it was!.

    I am pleased Obama has won. I believe he has a good heart, and that he really does care about the people.
