At the very least, the next president will get to place one, if not two Supreme Court Justices. We know what type of judge, and I use that term loosely, obama will nominate. That alone should be enough to make even the most vehement anti- Romeny Conservative take notice.What makes you think Romney would nominate conservative Justices?
His track record, as well as the track record of previous moderate Republican Presidents, argue against such an appointment.

WOW!! That’s impressive!

I’ll crawl over ten miles of broken glass to vote against Obama - which necessarily means I’ll be voting for Romney, but with a singular lack of enthusiasm. I’m getting seriously disgusted with the sh*t the GOP establishment keeps serving up for us.

Yes, I'm sure the excitement for Romney among conservatives will be palpable!
"OK, folks, yes, I know he's a liar, he's not a conservative, and you can't trust him, but he's OUR candidate! C'mon - let's give it up for our candidate, MITT ROMNEY!" [claps hands excitedly]

What makes you think Romney would nominate conservative Justices? Three things (two regrading Romney, one about voters):
1) It's a safe bet that he's not going to nominate the rabidly liberal types that obama has and is going to again, if he gets the chance.
2) Romney is a political wind sock, not a ideologue, like obama. With a more conservative Congress, and pressure from the right, his nominees will most likely be to the right of center. You can not say that about obama.
3) Even if you do not like Romney; he's not my first pick, taking a small step in the right direction is better than helping push the country off the abyss.
Look, this isn't personal salvation...picking the lesser of two evils is OK, and WILL help stop, or at least retard the downward slide the country is in.
Fight every step of the way, or abdicate the field: Small victories, or big loses...the choice is yours.

Obama’s biggest weakness is not the economy. It’s the disenchantment of so many whites who bought his 2008 message of of a new post racial tranquility, only to discover that he is a race baiting opportunist in the vein of Al Sharpton.
0bama’s scorched earth campaign may energize his base, but it will alienate everyone else. Democrats used to be better at this kind of stuff. This election, however, they are taking on a more bitter tone, and that will help Romney more than 0bama.

Every time I hear an Obama opponent say he isn't going to vote for Mitt, I think of Eric Cartman.

The difference will be a $450 Billion tax increase next January under Obama.
If you own a small business, you should be able to find a difference. Your tax rate will go from 34% to mid 40's - the highest of the top 10 industrialized countries.
Do you have any capital gains? Was 15%, will be 24% - the highest of any industrialzed country.
Not much incentive for companies to keep any remaining manufacturing base in the U.S.
Nah, not much difference between the two./s/

I’ve read many times, and, believe that anytime an incumbant doesn’t have 50%, they’re in trouble!

I agree. This article is the least dishonest thing I've seen written by a commie in a long time.
Believe it or not, every once in a great while Mother Jones will commit a Random Act of Journalism that is spot-on.
