    I don't feel like I can pick the lesser of two evils, except that there is no evidence that Romney will turn back any of the advances in the trimming down of our civil liberties, so maybe Obama is the better terrible candidate.

Yes, I recall in 2008 when he was asked if water-boarding was torture, he said he'd have to consult Erik Prince, the head of Blackwater about it. I don't think he's worried about Obama's erosion of civil liberties.

But, I'm just looking for predictions. It's interesting to me how people see the same race differently.

It blows my mind the number of republicans I've heard and read who predict a decisive Romney win. If Romney wins I think it's going to be pretty close, anyone who says landslide is a bit kooky, but I would be amused if proved wrong.
