What would a Romney win mean

Let me start with this, I don't think Mitt Romney will come within 5 points of winning. I think this election will in fact turn out to be a landslide win for Democrats across the board.

But strange things have happened with elections in this country in the last couple of decades and I honestly believe that anyone who would contribute tens of millions of dollars to a Candidate might just as soon spend the same amount to fix an election.

And so that is what I mean when I ask just what would a Romney win mean? It is my opinion that if President Obama loses it means that the election has been stolen.

After the 2000 election I do not put anything beyond the Republicans and the money, my god, the money. Who is to say that local election Officials can not be corrupted, particularly when hundreds upon hundreds upon hundreds of millions of dollars is being tossed around?

He's running on the most conservative platform ever. If that platform wins, it something that I have little desire to be a part of.

happened many would be well advised IMO to plan to leave the US if doable. It would definitely be a country to get your kids out of, if possible. The future will be grim, very grim.

2. If it's a tie, we know which way SCOTUS will rule. All the zillions of dollars, the R's don't

give a damn about the country, they don't give a damn about the people, they only want $$$$. So, stealing an election will just be seen by the R's as an investment. And sadly, there are too many people thinking they're still voting for Eisenhower republicans. There is way too much naiveness in America. The country is under assault and too many are still in la la land.
