Well VK, there sure were a lot of silly posts since your above comment. l'm glad I spent the day tiling a bathroom.

Of course Romney has to be the guy, but I can't figure why you would vote for him as opposed to staying home. Tell me what you think he can accomplish, or those things he will even be inclined to promote.

Romney will align with his party in Congress. If (in the less likely event) the
Republicans retain their current legislative clout, he will somewhat half-heartedly propose spending cuts, probably to education, environmental and consumer protection, social programs and health care. The glossy quest will be an even less than half-hearted attempt to support the repeal of Obamacare, naturally in the name of sacred states rights. All of this scurrying around will amount to virtually nothing.
We will also lose, for another four years, the possibility of a finer tuned, very good opening effort at national healthcare, a whole slew of important follow up regulations to protect us from greed and corruption, meaningful revision of immigration and energy policy, and the beginnings of real revisions in the individual and corporate tax codes. The poor, including unemployed vets, will lose their support in high places. Our schedules for successfully withdrawing ground troops and streamlining huge defense expenditures will diminish. There might not even be some consolidation of Washington bureaucracies.
I see even the lame duck incumbent as potentially far more successful than Romney. I'll even predict that a lot of the above, which just won't happen in a Republican administration, will occur if the Democrats retake the House. There is a chance of that, as the economy improves and more voters embrace the main Obama principle of the fair treatment of ordinary citizens.

Surely Romney doesn't deserve your vote just because he's 'new'. Please explain what you think he will do, or even want to do, which will spell progress for our nation.
