Had Romney won, his victory would have carried the headwinds for Congressional control as well.

Would that be a good thing?
Consider the recent push on gun-banning... do you think the republicans would have put up as much resistance (pitiful though it was) if Romney had been in office?
Romney would, at best, maintain status quo -- at worst there would be "party unity" on implementing his socialist dreams.

And the Obamacare repeal bill would have passed both houses and gone to a President Romney.

I don't believe that, not one bit. But let's suppose you're right... would such a congress write up an new healthcare, a Romneycare if you will, to replace it like was mentioned up-thread?

RE: Would that be a good thing?

I believe that Todd Akin and Richard Murdock being in the Senate would be much better than the alternatives if that’s what you’re asking.

Allen west being in Congress would have been better than his opponent winning.

With Todd Akin, Richard Murdock and Allen West in there? YES.

Again, I never said Romney was the best of the bunch that wanted to be President in 2012.

We are comparing Romney with OBAMA and THAT makes the huge difference.

I have personally never bought the argument that Romney would be just as bad or worse than Obama. All my gut instincts tell me he would be better (even if it isn’t saying much ).

If a train is on the way towards the cliff at 100 MPH (Obama), I’d rather it ran at 75 MPH ( Romney ) so that it will give me more time to prepare.
