I like Mark Steyn’s line; it’s better to convince an imperfect person to do the right thing than to wair for somebody perfect.

I like Alexander Hamilton's better:

“If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures.” - Alexander Hamilton

I’ve been looking for that Hamilton quote! Thanks!

Yep. Alexander was a realist; Steyn is fantasizing, even to the point of implying that the reason we object to Romney is because "he isn't perfect." That's like criticizing a NASCAR racer for refusing to "drive" a Shetland Pony because "it isn't perfect."

Alexander Hamilton was RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT.
