Its that time again - every four years: the United States Presidential Election is almost upon us.

As of October 2011, we haven’t had the party primaries yet, so there any obvious contenders, nor have running mates been announced.

There have been a couple of politicians state that they won’t be running for election this time around: Sarah Palin, for example. Personally, I’ve always found that she would be better off in entertainment than in politics - she seems to really love the lime light. Chris Christie, current Governor of New Jersey, also said he’s not running for president - he says he’s backing Mitt Romney.

Of course those vying for their party’s selection in the primaries are making some noise:

• Herman Cain
• Rick Perry
• Mitt Romney
• Dr. Ron Paul

Don’t forget the Democrats! The headliner for their party is none other than the incumbent president: Barack Obama!

While Obama did an amazing job on the campain trail during the 2008 presidential election, this time around might be a lot harder for him. He’s put a lot of effort into keeping his promises, but the fact is that the United States is still in a depression or a recession, and the citizens want to work. Its impossible to determine who is to blame for the current situation, but I expect the voters will show their discontent at the polls.

This is my first article on the subject of the 2012 Presidential Elections, but it certainly will not be my last! In fact, I’ve built a new site specifically focused on the matter:

That site will have a lot more to offer than my writing, so come on by and join in on the discussion!
