We've polled our allnurses.com members the past 2 presidential elections and nurses got them both right! Let's see if we can predict the election results correctly for a 3rd time!
Of course, these are just fun non-scientific polls.
This thread was only intended to be a poll. Not a political discussion. Feel Free to reply with your choice if you want, but please no political arguments, slams or jabs :) Lets keep this a clean and simple poll
UPDATE: Nov 7th, 2012!
The poll has closed! allnurses.com members have called the presidential elections 3 times in a row correctly! Please carry on your Political Discussions in our Nursing Breakroom US Politics forum!
I,m just prying me and my friends all have jobs by then .
Dude, don't take this the wrong way, but I don't think Obama is the reason that you don't have a job. Why not apply for disability and get some better medical care?
Hey, as a guy it's cool to see that women were the deciding factor in this year's election! Also, I wish someone would bring me a binder full of women on request, but see-when I run for president-it will come back and bite me.
Romney because I do not see any of changes that Obama said would happen. I am still out of work, I about $550 per month in cobra blue cross and pay between $350-$600.00 per month in meds (and that's with coverage) and have had to pick and chose witch ones to get .
As your homey Romney would say, "borrow money from your parents!"
Well that is that! It's done and we now must all make up our minds to bear the results as best we can, regardless of which side the fence one sits upon.
Obama has the WH
Democrats have the Senate (firmly)
Republicans have the House (equally firmly)
So it seems things are pretty much the status quo from before the election, however as Obama has been saying the past few months, it is time to move "forward".
The United States now as an out lesbian US senator. At least to more states have approved same sex marriages (Maine and Maryland) with results pending on two more. So it would seem the momentum is there as well.
Can say have never seen so many persons in NYC (well Manhattan anyway) so worked up over an election as this one. Went to vote at 630AM before work and there was already a line. More to the point as one over-heard bits of other persons cell phone or other conversations most were in favour of Obama. This cut across a wide array of mostly white persons and one can only assume many were offended by some of the positions republicans have taken. The rape comments where the icing on the cake of a series of totally off the wall remarks that all but handed democrats elections all across this country.
Gay marriage? Even if Obama hadn't won he has set things in motion that will soon lead the SCOTUS to over turn DOMA. That being said look for a bill to be introduced within the first few weeks of January repealing that law. If that happens my huch it will pass the senate and secure enough of votes in the House to pass. People seem to be moving on in regard to social matters and quite frankly don't care what persons get up to long as it does not scare the horses.
Having won this election Obama will learn quickly it is not enough to cut, he must learn also to sew. Women, gays, Latinos, and other groups that put him over aren't going to wait around like last time for the next election cycle. No, they are going to demand *payment* up front and at once. To that end look for BO to address immigration including the "Dream Act", gay rights (repealing DOMA, enacting an employment non-discrimination laws), and a push on issues relating to various women's issues such as pay and other discrimination.
If we had them in a singing contest on election night with two numbers to call, like American Idol Presidential Version, their would have been a higher Voter Turn-out:)But, I wonder who would have won that? I heard Romney singing, just saw Barry dance with Ellen. All this while the Homeless were growing along with a slumping economy, and trillions in deficit to China, but what do I know, I'm just a Nurse :)
(Until I loose my job when Socialized Medicine collapses healthcare, and it goes the way of the Economy, but hey, maybe we can get bail out, handout, or welfare check. Just starting to wonder who's going to foot the bill when it capsizes. Hey, I hear we can get a phone too now on welfare, so maybe this "change" won't be soooooo horrible. Rewarding Failure and Punishing Success. Well, I hope they got the money printers going, 2014's coming. And for those who think I'm bashing Obama, this may help, . . . I didn't have any confidence Romney could fix this mess either. I don't know the answer, but I'm convinced neither do these guys. A divided house cannot stand-it will fall. I do know our forefathers are looking down in shear horror thinking, brethren, "There's no where else to sail too!" God Bless America, I pray.
BTW, I'm so cold I can barely type, but I'm really thinking about getting behind the Global Warming thing, as a supporter! It will mean longer grower seasons=cheaper food, shorter flu/cold season=less staff shortages, and it will bring the ocean closer to me!!! I love the beach, but Can't afford Obama's gas(and we haven't invaded a small mid-east country in awhile) so $$$. Also, a car can't go on wind yet??!!
