In the long run the numbers work out better for conservatives with a truly opposing president than a liberal with an R after his name. It’s all about midterm elections, the party of the sitting president loses seats in midterms, and the second midterm is a bloodbath (the dems hit par in 2006 half the time it’s bigger). So if obie wins the dems take a major bath in 2014, then an actual conservative R can take the White House in 2016 with workable majorities. If Romney wins he continues most of obie’s policies AND the dems gain seats in 2014, then if he wins reelection in 2016 the dems get major gains in 2018, and because sitting VPs often win the nomination but almost never win the presidency a dem gets the White House in 2020 with a workable majority.

You’ve got to understand the difference between the battle and the war. Some battles aren’t that bad to lose. I’d prefer a good republican in the White House, but none ran. So this is what we’ve got, 2 guys with very similar mindsets, 2 guys that will continue the run away spending, 2 guys where the only noticeable difference is the letter after their name, 2 guys that quite simply don’t deserve my vote.

We really dont know what Romney's view are if he has any, besides cut taxes.

Electing another R POTUS who is Dem light or/and can't sell different ideas to the voters (because he doesnt believe them or cant articulate ) just delays the pain, take that really strong pain killer and you wont need that painful dental work.
Romney cant sell anything to anyone, he is just dodging. His very specific tax cuts are paid for fully (no deficit increase) with unspecified tax increases so it is not really a tax cut at all......? Not pretty.

What I think we need is Scott Walker as a candidate in 2016 if he can survive Dems assaults till then and not compromise himself like insider made up hero Ryan has done.

But we are lectured that 2016 doesnt matter, only 2012 matters. The world ends after election day. Party anyone?
