Is Romney in that class - I doubt it, however IF he gets in office, chances are he will have a republican majority for the first two years. Would he use it wisely? That is the 64 billion dollar question

I just need to remind you that despite the "popular" feeling, the partisan rankle was caused mostly, not all, but the most by the President himself. THAT is why the elections in 2010 went the way it did. It was obvious he was off and running and could care less about any congress, thus no budget, no communications and he HIMSELF walked away from some bi partisan opportunities. He clearly sent the message...it is my way or the highway. Was he totally to blame..heck no, but he has the con right now and he could have, had he wished, done anything he wanted for 2 years and he made his choices.
