I don’t think you’re scoring it correctly. Romney is my last choice this time around. He’s a political weather vane, whichever way the wind blows he’s going that way. If we elect a conservative Congress he’ll go along with them.

He’s got a reputation, deserved or not, for being a turnaround guy. He’ll have to turn things around. The biggest danger is him surrounding himself with Kenes boys and ruining things faster.

Good point. More important than the Walker recall OR the election for POTUS is CONGRESSIONAL SEATS! Romney will be held to account for his actions by a majority conservative Congress because unlike 0bama he is white and won't have a race card to hide behind.

Anyone who thinks a Romney presidency would be 'the same as 0bama' is fooling themselves. If 0bama goes, so goes the CZARS. Even if the ONLY difference between 0bama and Romney is the purging of the CZARS, the vote for Romney is entirely worth it. These thugs (CZARS) are behind much of the carnage going on in America and need to be stopped. A conservative Congress would ensure Romney not continue with such nonsense.

I am afraid that I think that Romney isn’t a pure weather vane and does have a couple of principles that I probably don’t agree with. If he were a pure weather vane, I can see that in theory a conservative Congress would do the job.

Unfortunately, barring a Tom Clancy novel event, we aren’t going to have a conservative Congress. The best we may expect is the congress we already have less a few of the liberals and with the addition of a few more conservatives. Even in the Senate, where the greatest change is possible, the GOP isn’t going to get to 60 and it isn’t like the GOP is completely conservative. I don’t see congress providing leadership even if Romney is willing to follow. It is more likely that some leadership will come out of the GOP if Obama (or better yet Biden) is the one in the White House.

Bleak.
