As I said, I KNOW that you have heard the same thing...he is in his world playing and using the country as a pawn in his little political game.
But you are correct...it is not something that is likely but I spoke to a number of political types in Tampa yesterday and today and the Democrats are not swooning any longer for sure.

....I'm guessing there are a whole lot of people like Mrs. Kahuna and me--people who voted for Obama and even contributed to his campaign in 2008--who won't be voting for him in November.
I'd like to get enthused about the prospects that things will change in the country as the result of the fall elections. There will be some pushes and pulls in the Congress. The GOP might even get a majority in both he House and the Senate. But they won't get a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate. The likely result is that the Democrats will continue to frustrate the legislative process with purely politically-driven maneuvers. Instead of the anti-Obama moves we've seen from the GOP, it'll become anti-Romney, anti-Republican.
I wish I could project, in my own mind anyway, Mitt Romney being such a strong and compelling leader that he will be able to lead the country, maneuver the Congress to accomplish something, regain our status as a voice in the world that must be listened to.
While I'll vote for him, I can't project him into that kind of leadership role. I only hope that I'm as wrong with Romney as I was with Obama four years ago.
