Let's predict the final result

Barack Obama (Democrat)~49%
Mitt Romney (Republican)~45%
Others~ 6%

Let's see how close that is!

You're braver than me. I might make a prediction if I have some free time tonight and can count up some electoral votes. My first impression is that the third party vote won't be anywhere near 6 percent, but who knows?

we'll see but people don't seem to like either Obama or Romney very much, so i think some people might vote 3rd party

True, enthusiasm for the major parties seems to be down this year, but, at the same time, there doesn't seem to be a lot of enthusiasm for a third-party candidate either. Personally, I'm going to predict that between 1-2% of the vote goes to third parties. Third parties always face the problem of people not wanting to waste a vote.
