What 2012 presidential candidates are Freemasons?
- 1 answer
I have not heard any confirmation that any of them are Freemasons, it is too bad. Great men like George Washington, James Monroe, FDR, Harry Truman and Teddy Roosevelt all were Freemasons and changed this country for the better. We could use someone of either party that learned the lessons of liberty and toleration taught by Masonic groups.

What are Mitt Romney's views on national security?
- 1 answer
Mitt Romney's positions on national security have been quite hawkish, as is normal for Republicans during a campaign: * Doubling the size of Guantanamo Bay, and favored "not torture but enhanced interrogation techniques" * Active involvement in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan * Protested allowing Iran's president to speak at the United Nations * Criticized Barack Obama for saying he would meet with the heads of hostile nations
What is Mitt Romney's current church calling?
- 1 answer
The Church doesn't release this type of information to the public, and Mr. Romney hasn't mentioned anything, so it would be impossible to know unless you speak to someone who is a member of his home congregation. It's possible that he has asked to be released from all callings during the campaign.
What were the pre-election odds of President Obama being re-elected in 2012?
- 1 answer
There was no sure way to predict how people would vote ahead of the election. There were numerous polls and prediction methods, but until the votes were counted, many people were still expecting a win by former governor Romney, and reports were that many of Governor Romney's financial campaign supporters were taken completely by surprise by the end results of the election. Polling was a very inconsistent method of prediction in this race.
Throughout the final weeks of the election cycle, the polls varied greatly, with some showing Mr. Romney ahead by as many as 5 points, and others showing a tight race with President Obama slightly in the lead. Still other polls showed the President with a quite significant lead. The polling in battle-ground states, like Ohio, consistently showed the president with a slight lead.
There were other types of predictions, such as the trading at Intrade (a world-wide prediction market). This was showing that President Obama had a very good chance. He was listed in October 2012 with a 73.7% likelihood to win, and this method of prediction continued to support his win throughout the rest of the campaign with only occasional temporary fluctuations.
Once the election had occurred, it turned out that the most accurate predictions came from the political reporter, Nate Silver, whose "538 blog" can be found on the New York Times website (see link in related links section). His prediction that President Obama would win re-election was correct, as was his prediction of the margin of victory. He was also correct about the specific battle-ground states that would support the president. He had created a complex system of prediction that proved to be a very accurate method in this application.
Note:
The Intrade site is the world's leading stock-trading-style market called a "decision market" (or "prediction market"). During the 2012 campaign, the market "traded" the likelihood of various people being the next president, in the same way people trade stocks. While certainly not a guarantee of accuracy, it proved a good way to see how people, who actually were willing to bet their money on an outcome (instead of answering polls, which can be skewed by the wording of the questions asked), predicted who the next President would be. There are ongoing trades in more political races and other types of predictions at the site (see link in the related links section).

It is just a short walk from the home on Marsh Street in Belmont Hill where Mitt and Ann raised their children and resided until 2009. Taggart Romney, Mitt and Ann's oldest son, now lives on Marsh Street in Belmont Hill.

Has Mitt Romney had a face lift?
- 1 answer
In response to the answer in quotes below:
My guess is it is from the car accident in France, while he was a missionary. The officer arriving @ the scene pronounced him dead because of his injuries. Although he only broke his arm, something else at the time made the policeman think he was dead, maybe a head laceration...?
"I noticed yesterday that he had what appeared to be a scar running down the side of his face along the front side of his ear. It was a unique shot from an interview where the lighting was just right and it was after the main cameras had stopped rolling. Wondered if it was from a facelift. If he had on though, it was a pretty good one. He doesn't look all weird."
Mitt has for sure had a facelift and uses botox regularly as well...he has a completely expressionless upper face. And come on, even the most clean living people, which I know he is a mormon, so no booze or nicotine or caffeine, but even they have a few wrinkles by the time they hit their mid 60's.... and the same goes for Ann. They have no wrinkles, zero. I'm convinced they've had the best surgery available.

Who will win the US 2012 presidential election?
- 1 answer
It is far too soon to even make a reasonable guess. Obama has seen his popularity slip, but no strong Republican candidate has appeared. The election is still more than a year away.
As of mid-summer 2012, the contest is much closer, with Obama holding a few-points lead in opinion polls. Obama consistently comes out as the winner in these polls, but the margin of victory is now usually within the margin of error for the poll, which means that the election is likely a tossup.
The prediction-market web site Intrade.com allows individuals to effectively bet on which candidate will win the election, and Obama is currently running at about a 56% chance to be reelected, with Mitt Romney running about 42% chance to be elected.
