Here’s a radical idea: I’ll actually comment on the content of the article.

This election is shaping up as business vs. government, free enterprise vs. the public sector. Romney’s speech last night was a VERY pro-business speech. Most business people understand that the Obama administration is their mortal enemy. They know they’re going to have to write big checks to keep him from getting a second term. Sounds like they’re willing to do it.

Is it really? Take the example of a real estate agent. I'm sure he or she would assume they are in the private sector. Yet a large percentage of the loans that feed their business are guaranteed by one of the GSE'S, and the interest rates are largely controlled by the FED. Toss in the mortgage interest rate deduction, and you can see the private sector real estate agent lives or dies by government policy. The government is heavily embedded in most industries now. So are the donors looking to remove the influence of government or just wishing to bend it in their favor? Sorry if that's depressing, but it is probably better to be realistic.
