So who should we vote for?
“So who should we vote for?”
Something like Alice asking “How do I get in?” and the White Rabbit replying, `The question is whether you are to get in at all,” the question re-phrased: Who should we vote against?

“Romney can count on the often inchoate grudge block, people who vote against somebody, rather than for — a large part of the Republican base this year. Obama has certainly angered Wall Street, Southern whites and no small number of conservative Roman Catholics.”
“But Romney has a longer list of people who may be disinclined to vote for him. Latinos. Gays. Gay soldiers. People who were bullied as kids. Dog lovers. People who like sex. People who use contraception during sex. People who want “free stuff,” as Romney classified those without health care on Wednesday. People who believe in science.”
The NYT manages to be arrogant and condescending to people like you and me, as usual, while finding a truffle, paraphrased:
`Obama has screwed the pooch in just about every way imaginable, but if we’re lucky the GOP & Company may re-install him for another four years.’
So the question, re-phrased again, Who do we most dislike? I’m not sure we can survive another four years of Obama. “Fight for your country!” Hector, The Illiad.
If you believe Romney is better, vote for him. I do not, so I will not.
Good question.
I'm voting for Tom Hoefling.
Win or lose, I'll be proud of my vote for Tom.
