That’s a pretty good analogy.
My theory, just my speculation do not get yon panties in a wad, is that Romney will govern with an aim to keeping his Blue Blood establishment in power.
The Tea Party, those folks who carry this country on our backs, will rise, this time with a steadiness and stalwartness for we finally learn that the Blue Blood GOP does not want the likes of us and further, it will no longer be possible for us to live with them.
My argument is....vote for Romney. See how he does. He cannot possibly be worse than Obama.
And if Romney does what I think he’ll do, which is to reach across aisles along with his perfectly polished nails, to empower the establishment GOP and compromise on every thing that Hatch and McCain and that babe from Alaska keep their hold on power....The Tea Party will rise and a third party will be formed.
The Blue Blood Establishment GOP will flounder and eventually sink. We’ve got a political class in this country that must be dismantled. Those Blue Blood GOP are as much a part of it as any Democrat.
I agree with your speculation. Romney certainly isn’t my choice for those reasons - but given the hand we’ve been dealt - I have two choices. I pick uncertainty over disaster.
