THE UNITED STATES is in the middle of presidential nomination fever – last night, Mitt Romney extended his lead in the race to be the Republican nominee.

We were liveblogging events from the US last night and the drama is only set to ramp up as Democrat Barack Obama aims to hold on to the White House when the country goes to the polls in November.

But do you think the outcome of the US Presidential election 2012 will have any impact on Ireland and your life in the long run? (And feel free to give reasons for your vote in the comments section):


Poll Results:

Yes (644)
