LEADERSHIP, AND in my mind it must start in the WH
Well, I'll give Romney a chance, Bucco.

While I'll vote for Romney, at this point I don't have terribly high hopes. Real leaders often were willing to take a position, point the way, encourage people to "follow me". Mitt seems to concentrate on being politically correct, choosing his words and limiting his thoughts to offend the fewest number of people possible. Trying to understand the direction he's choosing for the country is difficult because he's so unspecific on everything. Trying to figure out whether his priorities and ideas are what I agree with is tough, because mostly all he says is that Obama is wrong. When he does say something reasonably specific, often it's different from what you thought you heard him say earlier.

If he doesn't lead any better than he campaigns, those who he's trying to lead won't be able to figure out what direction he wants them to go.

He'll get my vote. But I'm afraid it'll be with the same pre-condition I put on my vote for Obama in 2008--if I don't like him, I'll vote for someone else in 2016. Like in 2008, I'll be voting for the lesser of two evils. I hate that kind of choice

I'll bet Hillary won't be so mealy-mouthed. And we know that Chris Christie will tell you what he thinks. I wish I had that choice this time around.

If America can't do better than this, we're in a heap of trouble. Where's George Patton when we need him?
