Does anyone think all those unemployed folks will cheerfully vote for “buyout baron” Mitt Romney, the candidate who looks like the guy who fires people like you and has built a career largely based on doing just that? I’ve seen commentators make the case that the rust belt and the industrial Midwest is the swing area that will determine the results of this election. Which is why if the day comes that Mitt Romney wins the nomination, I will offer my begrudging congratulations to Obama on unofficially winning his second term.
If the economy is as bad in 2012 as many predict it will be, Obozo can make all the trips to Ohio he wants; he’s toast.
