I didn’t say he would save us, I said he was a lot better choice than Obama. I’m pretty emphatic about getting rid of Hussein before we can do anything. Purity has its merits but can be dangerous, too. Especially, if you are not voting against Obama (you as in plural). I worry when I see posts such as yours because it implies to me, perhaps wrongly, that a vote will be wasted.
But it is silly to say there is no difference between the two, at the very least, Romney has had a real job before..
Sorry about the comma abuse!
Politically there really is so little difference as to be negligible.
Rhetorically they are very different, and in their personal histories they are obviously different -- even two brothers have differing histories.

How will it be wasted? Because I choose to vote 3rd party? Neither of the major parties owns my vote, nor will I give them my vote "because the other guy's worse" -- I did that in 2008, and was utterly disgusted by McCain, to prevent that I'll now only vote for someone, someone who I believe will do a good job. (I do not believe Romney will do a good job, nor do I believe that the republican party will "hold his feet to the fire.")
