It is too early to tell from the polls who will win. I think Obama will win by a lot though. Even republicans do not like Romney. What they tell me is that. We have no other choice than to vote for him. Moderates will side with Obama and that will make all the difference.

I am not saying anything will happen over night but change is imminent.
This is just my point of view which is base on what I see happening in terms of demographics.
No matter who is in power... DEMS or REPUBS the political game in terms of immigration will stop given the immigrant voting block grows and becomes more educated.

Change is imminent, but it is at least a generation and a decade away. For now we see the last grand battle of the baby boomers, a battle that has been raging since the 1960s and that has taken this country from Vietnam to Iraq and from grand economic boom to the worst economic crisis since the depression. What I am talking about though is not the long-term, but the short term(next 2-5 years) which is what I think most dreamers care about. I doubt many of us will intend to stay after our educations if by the end of 2013 it looks as if there is nothing in store in terms of reform.
And seeing that the republicans have a great chance at taking back the senate, will most likely retain the house, and the tea party bloc still seems for the moment restrictionist in terms of immigration, the chances of no immigration reform at all remains a distinct possibility.
