I’m counting on congress to keep romney in check.

Then you're failing to see the basic dynamics at work here.

If Romney is elected, he becomes the de facto leader of the Republican party. A Republican dominated Congress will not oppose their 'boss', but they'll surely oppose the other team's 'boss'.

Given that both Romney and Obama have virtually the same agenda, which 'boss' is more likely to get his agenda through Congress? Which 'boss' is more likely to see the long knives come out, should he attempt to bypass Congress? Which 'boss' is more likely to engender elevated opposition to his Socialist agenda from the center-right public?

Do you see the simplicity of this now?

Oh, I always understood your position. I just disagree. I do agree that Romney is moderate, I just think (hope?) that he is educable.

Obama, on the other hand, will try to govern without congress if re-elected.

It’s a rock and a hard place right now. There is no viable soft spot for the landing. Hang on to your hat, ‘casue we’re in for a ride.
