I will vote for GOP downticket........getting a GOP Congress at least will neutralize Obama in his second term.....the problem is if Romney somehow does beat Obama, there goes our chance to field a decent GOP candidate in 2016 to run against Romney.
We have to agree to disagree on this one. IMHO, nothing is more important than unseating B.H.0. If we get Romney and then a conservative congress, the congress will blunt anything new, they'll submit a repeal bill and Mittens will sign it. He's not an ideologue when all is said and done. In 2016 it will be Mittens and another Dem. I can almost guarantee they won't dare put up another radical/revolutionary. They'd have to put someone up like Lieberman, someone more centerist.
OTOH, after 2 terms of B.H.O. who will we get? Someone like Joe Stalin on the Dem side, and the GOP will put up someone like 0bama , and he'll be the "conservative" in the race.
