Two big issues:
1. We'll have a Republican in the White House.
2. The Supreme Court, a conservative court, will finally abolish gay
marriage nationwide, and thus will save this country future headaches
and allow it to focus on smaller issues, like #3, 4.
3. 2013 will probably see military action against Iran. We need a
leader who will stop playing games with Ahmadinejad, give Israel the
peace she wants, stabilize oil prices, and eliminate the nuclear
threat Iran holds over the Middle East.
4. Stabilize our economy. Repair the damage done by Curious George,
aka President Hussein, and get this country out of its financial
doldrums. In 2008 it was 'Yes We Can.' In 2012 we found out 'No We
Couldn't.' It's time to get a man in the White House who thinks like
a man and not like a teenager.

Pollster Scott Rasmussen: Obama very likely to be reelected
Scott Rasmussen of Rasmussen Reports predicted on Monday that
President Barack Obama would win the 2012 election if the
economy continued to improve.
The latest Rasmussen poll showed Obama with a 7 point lead over
the Republican frontrunner, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.
"The trends are moving in President Obama's direction,"
Rasmussen said during an appearance on Fox Business.
"Consumer confidence this morning is at the highest level in more
than a year, and by the way it is getting near the highest level of
the past four years. A plurality of investors now think the economy
is getting better.”
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday that the
unemployment rate had fallen to 8.3 percent, the fifth straight
monthly decline since August. In addition, the private sector
added 257,000 jobs in January.
Following the report, Rasmussen found that 37 percent of
Americans strongly approved of Obama while 27 percent
strongly disapproved.
"The absolute numbers tell one part of the story, but the
trends tell another," Rasmussen explained. "If we continue to
get good economic news, the president is very likely to be
reelected."
An ABC/Washington Post poll released Monday found Obama ahead of
Romney by 52 to 43 percent.

POLL: The More People Learn About Romney, The More They Dislike Him
-- By a more than two to one margin, Americans say that the more
they learn about Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney,
the more they dislike him, per a new Washington Post / ABC poll:
Overall, 55 percent of those who are closely following the campaign
say they disapprove of what the GOP candidates have been saying.
By better than 2 to 1, Americans say the more they learn about
Romney, the less they like him.
Even among Republicans, as many offer negative as positive
assessments of him on this question.
Judgments about former House speaker Newt Gingrich, who denounced
Romney on Saturday night in Nevada, are about 3 to 1 negative.

If Obama gets caught kicking puppies or smoking crystal meth two weeks
before the election, sure. Otherwise, get ready for 4 more years.

Also very unlikely. As it stands now, it will come down to Justice
Kennedy's swing vote, and as the Circuit Court used his own previous
opinions as their basis to overturn Proposition 8, he's unlikely to
reverse himself and let it stand. (The Supreme Court, BTW, has no
standing to ban same-sex marriage nationwide; that would be a
usurpation of Congressional power).

Keep in mind that both China and Russia like Iran, because they like

You listed four predictions...
> 1. We'll have a Republican in the White House.
If the Republicans are really serious about getting voted in, then
they need to put Stephen Colbert in the President's seat because he's
really the only chance they've got (and he's very popular).

There's no medical evidence supporting your claim that a same-sex
marriage causes any more headaches than any other type of marriage.

To get a government that values all of these things, the USA will need
a third party because the Republicans don't want to stabilize oil
prices, and the Democrats don't seem to want to stop using diplomacy
in trying to work things out with Iran at this time.
