dk: You're absolutely right - I would very much like an improvement as opposed to 4 more years of Obama.

However, Santorum would be 4 years of a theocracy - and I'll take Obama over that.

Romney would ramp up the wars, cut taxes, make Obama's deficits look like pocket change, but keep the status quo for the very wealthy. I'll take Obama over that.

It's not exactly something that makes me feel good when Obama is the best of a bad set of choices.
