Yeah, this seems like a thread to become an argument easily.
And, next time, I would suggest making this a poll, so more people respond, but less people write comments against either of them.

Its not a great list of choices, but it looks like its down to Romney and Obama. So here's how I look at it.

R: Successful businessman
O: Successful politician

R: Impressive track record
O: Poor track record even he runs from

R: I'll likely pay less at the pump
O: I'll continue sending obscene amounts of money to countries hostile to the USA

R: More likely I'll keep my job
O: Likely to cripple my company

R: Might lead to private sector job growth
O: Will continue food stamp growth

R: Might enforce the border
O: Will continue to reward criminals

R: Wants equal opportunity for success
O: Works towards equal outcomes of mediocrity

R: Holds constitution in high esteem
O: Holds constitution in contempt

R: Understands the economy
O: Destroys the economy

R: Wants to balance budget
O: Record deficits, record debt

R: Buck stops here
O: Blame Bush

R: Might fix social security/medicare
O: Will use gimmicks to pass problem off to the next guy

R: Will work to take less of my paycheck
O: Has taken, and will take, more of my earnings

R: NASA will again reach to the stars
O: NASA reaches to other cultures

Seems clear to me. I realize it may not seem as clear to some and we can respectfully disagree.

Internet political arguments are futile. This post will be assimilated.

If I could vote, I would most likely take a pen into the booth and write my own name on the ballot and then stab a hole next to it. Or tick the box, or whatever.

Politicians these days seem to leave a lot to be desired. In the last UK elections I voted for myself too.

You don't have to be American to have an opinion. One guy doesn't realize the Cold War is over, and that affects everybody.

Two words. Supreme Court. If not for that consideration I might be inclined to make a protest vote.

Four more words. Our congress absolutely sucks.

As to my specific political leanings, I'll just keep those to myself when I'm on SWM sites.

Agreed (Well, I wouldn't make a protest vote myself, but agreed re: the importance of the Supreme Court). Many folk don't realize that the president we elect this year may appoint as many of three Supreme Court justices. That's the hidden battle, the "phantom menace," if you will, and is one reason that both parties are fighting tooth and nail.

The economy will putter along, slowly righting itself, regardless of which party controls the White House. But whichever party gets their man in come November will likely control the social mores of America for decades to come.

Yeah, but it's kind of supposed to, isn't it? In the whole checks-and-balances thing, the purpose of the legislative branch is to retard progress. Historically, the whole intent was that one man (or even nine men) shouldn't be able to enact sweeping national change based on personal or short-term preference. Seems like the folk we're currently saddled with may be the most successful congress in history, as defined by the founding fathers.

For anyone who truly wonders how much their beliefs synch up with who they plan to vote for, http://www.isidewith.com/ is a pretty great website to help you out.

Here's my results:
88% Obama (Democrat)
80% Gary Johnson (Libertarian)
79% Jill Stein (Green)
39% Romney (Republican)

No surprise to me in terms of Obama vs Romney, but I am surprised by Gary Johnson and Jill Stein having such a high percentage. I personally am not in favor of majority of things Romney wants to do, especially in terms of women's rights. While I know Obama hasn't been as much of a success as we need, to me he shows a lot more promise. I'm partially also basing it off of the RNC/DNC and how many lies each side told (as revealed in http://www.politifact.com/).
