I predict and pray Romney will win in part because he's the better choice for the country.
This election has become mostly about non-issues. Obama latest flip-flop on gay marriage, a sixteen year old Romney' bullying incident forty-seven years ago, Obama's self confessed use of marijuana and cocaine as a teenager and Bain capital.
It should be about the failed presidency of Obama whose promise of "Hope and Change" has left many including myself who at Hoped for change now HOPING FOR CHANGE".
I address each of the issues in detail below. I'm sorry it is by necessity very long.
Obama Gay Marriage Flip-Flop on Tuesday May 8, 2012
First let me say up front i could mot care less if two men, two women or a multiple people marry a goat. Marriage is a word which due to all the divorce seems to becoming an antiquated term.
Did you know Obama was in favor of gay marriage before he was against it?
Obama Gay Marriage Flip-Flop
In February 1996, running for state office in Illinois, Obama signed a letter to a homosexual newspaper in Chicago, that included the statement, "I favor legalizing same-sex marriage, and would fight efforts to prohibit such marriages." so his statement today puts him back where he was on the record as recently as 1996- calling for the legalization of same-sex marriage.
The paragraphs are not well defined enough because of crazy formatting but his 96 stand is presented in about the forth paragraph of the article below...

Since then, and until today’s admission Obama has been, well, nuanced. In true John Kerry fashion:
President Obama was for gay marriage [1996].
Before he was undecided [1998].
Before he was “not a supporter of gay marriage” [2004].
Before he was reminded to “remain” open to the possibility that his “unwillingness to support gay marriage is misguided” [2006].
Before he decided that marriage is a sacred union between a man and a woman [April 2008].
Before he was not in favor of gay marriage [November 2008].
Before he was for the repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act [2009].
Before he admitted to an evolving attitude toward same-sex marriage [2010].
Before, at least for now, he was again for it.
How can Obama expect to be taken seriously on any issue when you cannot count on anything he says? When Obama states his position, you can only count on the fact that his position will change, or evolve, depending upon the audience and/or the political expedience of the moment.
Isn't it amazing having changed his stand this week on Same-Sex marriage Obama is already selling T-Shirts? Do you think George Clooney order them just hoping Obama would move further left?

Clearly Obama will say and possibly do anything to get re-elected. If re-elected I expect Obama to continue to evolve and finally support repeal of DOMA and replacing it with legalized same-sex marriage.
Romney a bully
Mitt Romney, accused of forcibly cutting the hair of a flamboyant fellow prep student, apologizes for high school pranks - NY Daily News
Romney was 16 years old. Keep in mind people are young and immature at 16. Thy mature as they age almost becoming a different person.
I did many things when I was 16. Thankfully I can't remember any of them. I do recall I was ver anti gay as a teenager. My view has changed 180 degrees over the years. In part because my sister is a lesbian.
Do you realize Romney'bulling incident happened over 47 years ago. Are you the same person you were in high school? If you are you must still be very young.

Conservatives counter claims that Mitt Romney was a bully: Obama was even worse! - NY Daily News and this is based on Obama's personal autobiography.

Based in the two storys Obama was a bully who beat up an African-American girl as a teen.
The problem is Obama can't run on "are you better off than you were four years ago?" mostly because he knows people are not. He choose instead a recycled call to socialism.
