That cannot be determined "regardless" of who wins. What happens in the next four years greatly depends on who wins.
However, I can say with reasonable certainty, that regardless of who wins, the next four years will be 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016.

No we can't determined "regardless" of who wins. But we should have some idea what each candidate would do in office. I think that Obama will improve our economy if reelected.
If is elected I think Romney will bring us back 50 to 60 years and start new wars which we don't need. I like your answer about being reasonably certain that what next four years will be...

"I think that Obama will improve our economy if reelected. "
He hasn't improved it yet. He's had four years and unemployment is higher than when he took office.
"I think Romney will bring us back 50 to 60 years and start new wars "
That's simply an Obama campaign line and there's never been any evidence to back that up. As for starting wars, it was Obama who got us involved in Libya - without congressional approval.

Romney wants to start a war with Iran but Pres. Obama is slow to act on this issue. History has shown that Republicans love to start wars look at our recent wars who started them? Romney will take us back in time with his policies he and Ryan support. Tomorrow you might just get your "Wish" I don'tr think that the run is that close.

I am afraid the economy is going to be bad for many years to come with a focus in the wrong place. There is a lot of mess here in the US with no single party to blame for everything and it is going to take a long time till we get back on track(if we even put in the effort). I am going to stay off name calling and blaming in politics and I have a lot of issues I am afraid of becoming reality.
America needs to unite and stick to the basic economic theories that have proven successful.

I suspect that things will go as they have been going. This two-party system is ridiculous and it doesn't work. A bought puppeteer from either the Democratic or Republican party will continue doing things with the mindset that corporations are more important than individuals.
The politics is not changing in this sense, however, the people are changing. People are getting tired of this rat race and we are starting to stand up and ask, "What is going on here?" And that is exactly what needs to happen. People can only be pushed so much before they will push back. It is inevitable. These greedy powers have put themselves between a bullet and a target and time for change is well over due.
I think that we will start seeing some real changes, but people who have power will not give it up without a fight, so I think we are going to face some rocky times. I think that this pattern of people becoming increasingly hostile against each other will continue, but not without a happy ending.
People want freedom. People want peace. Ironically, this is why we are always at eachother's necks. We all have different perspectives, shaped by our backgrounds, personal experiences, and knowledge. This makes it difficult to work together at finding a solution.
I don't know if we will be able to overcome these great difficulties in the next four years, but I believe that we are heading in the right direction, even though just the opposite may seem true sometimes. I think we just need to keep as positive, diligent, and peaceful as possible and keep in mind that it is always darkest before dawn. There's a calm before the storm, but there is a storm before the calm as well.
Namaste.
Ps. I'm voting for a third-party candidate. I know my candidate will not win, but I also know that that is not the point.

Yes, but the establishment has brainwashed us to believe that if we vote for anyone else's party besides the status quo, then we are wasting our vote. We have to break this misconception that other parties don't count if they're not Democrat or Republican.

Vote third-party and end this madness. If you watched the third-party debates, then you would see real people who do have the backbone to tell the truth and stand for what they believe in. These people are not bought. The problem is that people keep voting for the same people who got us in this mess and expect them to get us out of it. Many states aren't even going to show any of the third-party candidates on the ballots, just the top two. This is the problem.
I am voting for a third-party candidate and I know my candidate won't win, but if everyone did this, then we would see some real change in this country. So the question is, do you have the backbone to vote for someone who isn't going to win in hopes that eventually enough people will do so and break us free from this bipartisanship? We voters don't need more confidence in politicians- we need more confidence in ourselves.

Well it'll all depend on who will win. I think we will be much better off with Obama then with Romeny being President. That is just how I feel as well as my husband. I know other people will feel probably different. If Romney won I think we are all doom since all of the things he doesn't like he'll get ride of which means buy buy public/government assistance which means no more WIC for my family which we can't live with out. For a men that had it he certainly doesn't want others to have it and use it either.
For me Obama would be the better choice since he will keep those programs intaket.
Good luck to whom ever will win.

Hi ShyBear88, I share your views wholeheartedly. This man Romney was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and he does't know what being in need is like.
He acts as if needy people don't exist. I know you remember the leak about 47% that he does't care about. This is why I voted for Pres. Obama because at least he acts like he knows about needy folks and that they do exist.

Having a good president is just a part of the overall success and prosperity of a particular country. But having responsible and disciplined citizens would make a lot more change that just having one leader to do everything.
