I dislike the Democrats and liberal politics and worldview but I want Obama to win against anyone besides Ron Paul.

It seems like I've seen you say this a few times, so I'm curious as to why you feel this way. Obama has flip flopped on critical issues at least as often as Romney, is also an insincere creep, and has done nothing but spew clichés and catchphrases from day one ("YES WE CAN! HURRRRR!"). So, does it merely come down to a matter of charisma? I ask because it seems quite obvious that pretty much every president, at least in the age of mass media, has been the guy with the best stage presence and media image, and while people are generally comfortable with acknowledging that this is how the masses decide their vote, they tend to try to rationalize their own individual preference as being more intellectual or principled than that.
