I realized there hasn't been any significant discussion on the 2012 elections. I have been following the presidential campaigns almost religiously via various news websites over the year. I'm not sure who I plan to vote for yet, but it has been an entertaining primary season. There are also a number of important state and congressional elections where we can get a better picture of how the nation feels about the 2010 elections. Will it be a season of throwing out the incumbents? Also, the Governor Walker Recall on June 5th in Wisconsin could possibly be indicative of how voters feel about newly elected GOP politicians--and one that is personally relevant since I grew up in Wisconsin. Here are a few recent articles to perhaps get some conversation going: Analysis: Obama leads in projected electoral vote totals Democratic super PACs gain ground but still trail GOP in fundraising Political Scientist: Republicans Most Conservative They've Been In 100 Years The Draperizing of Mitt Romney I typically get my news from POLITICO and NPR, so if anyone has other sources feel free to post them. I know the media does a great job spinning stories, it's always nice to get a fresh perspective. Also, I'll put up a poll of Romney vs. Obama (I think we're all assuming it will be Romney).
