Check on Villages Kahuna's various posts about the differences between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. They look like they will be quite similar with how they actually deal with the economy as well as with foreign affairs. Most of the other really important issues like gay rights, abortion, etc. are handled by the States.

I cannot see them doing all that much with the current Tax Code. It will just keep having the various loopholes clever lawyers can manipulate for their rich corporate and individual clients.

Obama's recent move on the road to citizenship for many kids and adults now in the US illegally is a bold one but I see it more as a move to get votes than any carefully planned out policy.

All I am really saying is that both Mitt Romney and Barack Obama are politicians who will do whatever they can to help the economy. Most of the people in the US though will fare just as well under Barack Obama as they will under Mitt Romney.

There was not any real change by the Barack Obama administration as he had promised in the 2008 election. He took on the powers that be in Washington but basically became the same kind of politician to get things done. That seems like the standard course in DC. Mitt Romney has played the same kind of game with his politics. He changes his positions to get things done and keep some kind of party support.

There could be a significant development if new Supreme Court Justice appointed by Mitt Romney overturn Roe vs. Wade. That is the only real important difference I see between the two candidates.

I am still voting for President Barack Obama but will again wait and see what the candidates actually say in their debates before making up my mind. Romney's VP pick is also important but I will be shocked if it is not someone very safe with respect to things being politics as usual.
