I hope this is true. I know a lot of us here have had our doubts about Romney, and I’m glad it appears we are coalescing around the bigger idea that his victory will also end what is a catastrophic trajectory for the nation.
So think about this behavior. This is a man who has accomplished more than virtually anyone can in a lifetime. Go ahead and point to the “born on third base and thinking you got a triple” mentality, but I believe Romney is extraordinarily driven. A loss would devastate him. If he is in good spirits, this tells me he likes what his pollsters are telling him.
I hope and pray we will once again elect a happy warrior.
“...his victory will also end what is a catastrophic trajectory for the nation.”
No. It will slow down the rate at which the catastropic trajectory is increasing in speed. The trajectory will continue toward catastrophe until small government conservatives have made fundamental changes in the way the federal government operates, its power, its revenues, its number of employees, etc.
That said, getting rid of that dreadful man in the white house is key to slowing down the rate of increase of the trajectory.
But if we go home and say, “our guys won. It’s OK now. We can relax,” we will be wrong. It will not be OK. It will just be somewhat less catastrophic and we will have a repeat of what I regard as the catastrophic Bush years.
