Not exactly what I meant. I'm not talking about 4 years time, I'm talking right now. Here are the two outcomes I'm foreseeing:
1) Obama wins, Romney loses. Roy sulks, continuing to slate Obama, regardless of the fact people obviously like his leadership. Dark Sage gloats, with an "I told you so" like attitude. This thread still goes on for another couple of months.

2) Romney wins, Obama loses. Dark Sage is less verbal about his disappointment, but will send PM's asking for the thread to be closed or to get Roy to stop harassing him. Roy, however, becomes more big-headed, and his "I told you so" attitude becomes unbearable. This thread is closed a lot sooner due to everyone's irritation.

When I was younger, I used to be really jealous of you Americans. I woulda loved to live in America, to be closer to you all, but as much as I adore most of you, I don't think I could ever live in America. I'm glad I live in a country where politicians seem to be working towards the same goals across all the parties. I know they get criticised for that, but at least they're all trying to take the country forward. I'd rather vote on how someone's going to run the country rather than their opinions on the rights of homosexuals, abortion, religion (that "God's will" stuff is bullshit. Even the British Monarchy has mostly dropped that, with the religious ceremonies being more formality than anything else), or their gender, race or again religion (that "Obama's a Muslim" thing going around. It shouldn't matter what religion he practises, and just firmly cements the idea that some (I stress, not all) Americans believe that Muslims are terrorists. Equally, it shouldn't matter that Romney is a Mormon). I would much rather they said exactly how they were going to sort out the economy, for example, than whether they're going to change women's healthcare rights, or whether homosexuals get the same rights in marriage as heterosexual couples do.

So in conclusion, glad to have shitty British Politics where most people are reasonably content than to have a country divided radically in 2. Good luck America.
