Following a detailed study of polls and early voting analysis, it is clear that Barack Obama will be voted in for a second term. BLR states that Barack Obama will serve a second term as President.
Now, I know the media has to use terms like “toss-up”, “tie” and “dead even” in order to have you come back and visit, but this election has actually been over for a long, long time. There is absolutely no suspense left – at least in the Presidential election.
Some sites that are worth visiting are:

So the question now is not “Who will win?” It is: what happens next in the realm of the economy and finance AFTER an Obama victory.
There are numerous challenges, not least of which are the “fiscal cliff”, deficits, below-par recovery, Europe’s meltdown, Iran and so on. The other major uncertainty will be whether a disappointed Republican Party will be in a cooperative mood or an enraged one.
If the latter, expect gridlock. If its the former, then perhaps we have a shot at addressing some of the nation’s looming problems.
