Now that being said, the case is always made that the person we vote for has to give us a reason to vote for them and not just against the other guy. But like our VP pick, this may be the one circumstance that defies conventional wisdom.
We do have something to vote for: our liberty, our national security, our freedom from government oppression is all at stake. The Supreme Court, Senate, House, and the WH are all at stake. We will be the laughingstock of the world of the terrorists, Russians, Chinese, etc. Our servicemen (and I’m one) will be placed in a tough decision of whether to get out and have to struggle in a horrible economy or stay in and serve for a US Government that believes its own troops air-raid villages and kill civilians? This election is about the future, the chance to get to the future. If Obama wins, we are more than screwed.

Théoden: “Gamling, follow the King’s banner down the center. Grimbold, take your company right, after you pass the wall. Forth, and fear no darkness!”
Théoden: “Arise! Arise! Riders of Théoden! Spears shall be shaken, shields shall be splintered! A sword-day! A red day, ere the sun rises!”
[Orcs prepare for the ride of the Rohirrim.]
Éowyn (to Merry): “Whatever happens, stay with me. I will look after you.”
[Théoden rides up and down the lines, rattling his sword along the row of spears.]
Théoden: “Ride now, ride now, ride! Ride for ruin and the world’s ending!”
Théoden: “Death!”
Rohirrim: “Death!”
Théoden: “Forð Eorlingas!”
[Rohirrim horns sound the charge.]
[The Rohirrim begin to move out.]
Between highlighting Obama’s inexperience and constantly airing the Reverend Wright tape, Hillary Clinton showed that Obama can be defeated at the ballot box.
