To be frank my vote is for Obama, following the trend of I don't really like him all that much, but I'd rather have him as opposed to the sketchy lizardman Romney. The reality is that we have had a huge problem since 2000, we've slowly been seeing companies cutting jobs and making the remaining force work triple their previous work. Where as in 2000 where it was common to see 3 entire floors of people doing a particular job, it's now just a single floor doing all the work as the other two floors have been completely obliterated.
And the reality is that it isn't because of outsourcing or anything, it's because of corperate welfare and Tax Cuts that don't force the company to aim to have a lower tax rate by investing into themselves. What we need to do is return the tax rate to pre-bush era and start funneling tax-breaks to companies that are willing to hire skilled workers and maintain them. If this doesn't happen, then without a doubt the middle class is going to be dead.

And to all of you people that honestly think that reducing regulations is a good thing, I'll ask you to learn a little about the conditions of the early 19th century prior to WW1 when most regulations came into play and the quality of life shot up.
That being said, since the Republican party is beginning to die there is a good chance that a third party will succeed them, similar to how the Whigs were succeed by the Republicans.
