He's for real.  He's 14 is all.  And probably not more than a very casual observer of politics.  But he seems like a nice kid, so be patient with him.

Haha
First off, Virginia was a mistake. That was supposed to be for Obama.
Secondly, home states generally vote for that candidate. Any normal Republican probably wouldn't have won Arizona, for example. That's being optimistic.
I honestly don't think Obama will do well, and I'm basing my maps of that. It will be Jimmy Carter's second term.

I don't take politics "casually". I bet I know more about it than just about any other teenager in America, and probably most adults. I have already chosen my favorite candidate for 2012, Mitt Romney. I have a whole list of favorites, both dead and alive, retired and, well, not retired.

Mitt Romney is your favorite republican? Smart choice. He's the most moderate and reasonable in practice of the potential '12 frontrunners.

I know.
Except I consider him to be much more conservative, not moderate. As you can see from my political matrix test, I am a very strong conservative, and I would never, ever vote for a liberal. (No offense to any)

Before his attempt to recast himself as a dyed in the wool conservative for 2008's primaries in practice he was center to center-right in how he governed.

Yeah, it would've been difficult being the governor of Massachusetts without being pro-choice and pro-gay, among others.

And I wish Democrats will be able to get the Carter stink out soon. I'm sure Clinton was compared to him a lot as well.

They'll replace it with the Obama stink after Obama fails epically.

And even that wouldn't be much of an accomplishment....but I still doubt it.

Okay then

Maybe because I'm wasting my whole Sunday afternoon talking on political forums, while most kids are enjoying a life...

Obama is a hip, urban, black version of Carter.

Dude, LOL. You clearly have never been here. Bachmann is the laughing stock of 7/8 of the state and about half of her district too. The Arizona example is not remotely because McCain was a statewide office holder. Bachmann hasn ever held statewide office, never will, and underran McCain about 7 points in her district. So that would give her less than 40% statewide, and she would probably underrun McCain even more in the rest of the state. Would Cynthia McKinney win Georgia as the Democratic nominee? Would Chakah Fattah win Pennsylvania? Use some basic logic.

The 2006 Senate map (with a candidate from the same district as Bachmann btw) is a good example of what a Bachmann v. Obama race would look like.

I doubt that. For one, I predicted the elections correctly except NC, IN, MO, and NE2 in February. And choosing your favorite candidate for 2012 is not really rare. In my Human Geography class last week, we had this big debate about it for our politics unit. (which they probably should have done before the 2008 election)
