You actually have a point, in a twisted way. While I cannot subscribe to the theory that one more second of Obama is tolerable, I do know what you mean about a turncoat Republican in office.

Wind back to the late 1990's. The so-called "assault weapons" ban in New York could not get passed, because the Republicans in one of the houses, I forget which, stymied every effort by the then-Democrat governor to get it enacted.

Enter George Pataki. He gets handily elected, in no small part due to the efforts of a group called "Sportsmen For Pataki". They were a pro-gun PAC.

Pataki assumes office, then IMMEDIATELY works to get the "assault weapons" ban passed, leaning on fellow Republicans as only a member of a party can do. It passes.

Pataki accomplished, quickly, what Mario Cuomo could not, and it was one of the many factors causing me to flee the state.

The point is, an enemy inside the gate is much more dangerous than a known enemy outside the gate.

It makes more sense on the gubernatorial level. The reason is that in most states, the Attorney General is elected. In some states like mine, judges are elected, although appointed at times for partial terms.

Ginberg, Scalia, Breyer, and Kennedy are old. There's a good chance two, if not all of them will be appointed by the next POTUS. Eric Holder will be back if Obama wins, as will his cabinet.

There's also Harry Reid still controlling the Senate.

...an enemy inside the gate is much more dangerous than a known enemy outside the gate.

Welcome to the Sun Tzu Patriot Honor Brigade of Free Republic. It's simply astonishing how many Freepers don't understand the fundamental dynamics at work in this election.

Upon election, Mitt Romney is going to continue forwarding the Obama left's agenda - just like he did while he was Governor of Massachusetts. Freepers who think otherwise, are simply buying tickets to Hope & Change II: The sequel.
