"To the least unacceptable, least odoriferous, lesser of two evils goes the Oval Office spoils". Does Mitt Romney have a : Van Jones (Communist Cabinet appointee then let go), Rev Wright (America hater pastor), and Bill Ayers (avoute domestic terrorist). Talk about skeletons in the front yard, forget about the closet

Between Republican dominated Legislatures passing laws to allow guns in bars and schools and their WOW ( War On Women ) factor --- I think the Repubs have dug themselves such a hole that they won't see daylight for years.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Democrats take the Arizona Legislature big time == the State Repubs have made complete fools of themselves.
Nationwide I expect the Repubs to suffer HUGE losses.
Which, in some ways will be a shame because the Dems will then adopt the States of Sonora, Chihuahua, and Coahuila as the 51, 52, and 53rd States. [smile]

Joe,
At first I wasn't sure where you were going with this piece. But your conclusion made clear what you were after. You said, "To the least unacceptable, least odoriferous, lesser of two evils goes the Oval Office spoils."
I agree fully. And I'd say that the same thing happened in 2008. But few of us will admit it!

Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act – better known as ObamaCare:
∙ A health care plan with mandate requirements that all Americans must buy health insurance by 2014 or pay a penalty. Forced to purchase and fined if they don't.
∙ A health care plan with mandate that will require several health insurance plans to pay a monthly fee for abortion coverage, and forces every taxpayer to help pay to end the life of an unborn child.
∙ A health care plan, which purportedly covers at least ten million more people, without adding a single new doctor, but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents.
∙ A health care plan passed by a Congress that didn't read it but exempted themselves from it. A health care plan that forces taxpayers to be taxed for four years before it takes effect.
“Are President Barack Obama and the Democrats political toast?”
Obama’s re-election is doomed, if “ObamaCare” gets ruled unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court.

I've had the benefit of knowing CEO's of great, profitable companies with great leadership skills. While their personalities wouldn't warrant a spot on present day "news" (what a joke) shows - they have all the qualities we desperately need today.
We put someone in office that we still don't know anything about - that information has been shielded from the public. Not one of his advisers have private sector experience. So it's no small wonder why our economy is dismal. You've got academics and utopian thinkers applying principles that don't work in reality. Mitt may not be a rock star like Obama, but he darn sure knows how to get us out of this mess. It's just many Americans who retired at 50 and expect the rest of the population to take care of them will have a wake up call if he does what he needs to do. Otherwise it will be done for you - many states will be forced in to Chapter 9 bankruptcy.
Everyone should take a look at the taxes that are coming our way. If the death nail isn't in the American small business casket now - it will be if Obama is reelected.

I'm going with history . If you believe the " Turmoil over Obamacare " is in the same catagory as " Read my lips ... no new taxes " ( Bush Sr ), 400 US citizens captured by Iran ( Carter ), The pardoning of Nixon ( Ford ) then the current administration will be heading back to Chitown . Otherwise be ready for another 4 years of the " same ol ... same ol ". Just make sure the House & Senate have a GOP majority . That way they can veto every socialist program the administration puts forth.
Even if Sir Romney wins the " Prize " ( 1600 Penn. Ave . ) not much will change because after all he started socialized medicine in Taxachusettes. He will be too busy flying to his 14 homes on our dime and living in the lap of luxury .
