After the Conventions: Who Will Win the 2012 Presidential Election, Obama or Romney?
Now that the Democratic and Republican delegates have officially chosen their nominees, Patch wants to know: Who are you betting on?
It's official: With President Barack Obama's acceptance speech in Charlotte Thursday night, both the Republicans and Democrats have formally chosen their nominees for the 2012 presidential election. Let the real race begin.
A lot can change between now and Nov. 6: Gaffes, scandals or even major international news events could shift the dynamics of the campaign.
The latest Gallup Polls show registered voters preferring President Obama to Republican nominee Mitt Romney by just one percentage point, 47 percent to 46 percent. A USA Today/Gallup poll taken just before the party conventions found American voters think the president is more likeable, but trust Mr. Romney more to handle the economy.
Pundits have been busy for months handicapping the candidates on various factors: incumbent advantage, fundraising clout, even religion.
Patch wants to know: Regardless of who you support for president, who do you think will actually claim victory in November?
Vote in our poll below, and let us know your reasoning in the comments.

I believe Romney will win IF: Voters actually look at the facts - Most won't, but let's play make believe? Latinos favor him, yet he has deported more illegals than any President! BHO claims Romney embarrassed Our country by critiquing the British Olympics. He WAS an official at a former Olympics and saw the shortcoming. BHO spit back the gift to AMERICA bust of Sir Winston Churchill because of his own personal disdain of Churchill.
To be succinct, in his own words - paraphrasing a previous speech of his - If he doesn't make the country better if four years, he doesn't deserve reelection".
As far as former President Clinton telling everyone how wonderful the world will be if president Obama is reelected, - well, he wouldn't LIE!
oops sorry, I meant Heidi wouldn't lie.

Romney/Ryan. There is a very strong Christian (in my case Catholic) prescence being FAR underrepresented in Washington. We're DONE being patient, we're done with turning the other cheek. We're coming out in DROVES to insure someone who respects human life is in the White House.
Obama is far less sincere and honest than Clinton during his impeachment.
