I've been a reluctant supporter (of sorts) of Romney because of the glaring reality you stated; it's Romney or Obama - and all that a second Obama term threatens. I wasn't happy about such a narrow choice but, unlike the FReepers who view Romney as ideologically identical to Obama, a comparison I find to be tinfoil hat material, I figured that Romney, the business tycoon, would help the economy, if nothing else. Well that and the fact that he doesn't despise his country - because it is his country.

With conservative congressman Paul Ryan being chosen by Romney as his VP, I was able to feel a lot better about the GOP presidential candidate and decided that I wouldn't need 3 clothespins on my nose when I walked into the voting booth on November 6th. As you stated, there is no 'perfect' political candidate. Never has, never will be.

Those who delight in trashing Romney on a conservative website can do that until the cows come home and vote as they please, of course, but I'm voting Republican on November 6th and I'm relieved to see that some longtime FReepers I respect are coming to the same conclusion.

I expect a Romney-Ryan blowout on election day and now I feel more confident that ever about the election.

Some come closer, though!
