Phin, I thought Romney had a better debate tonight than Newt. Really a colony on the moon, we cannot get our country on Earth running smooth. Do I think these candidates could do a better job than Obama? I am not sure. What bothers me about Obama (I know its easy to play Monday QB), is that he pivoted to HCR before he had the economy going in the right direction. Personally I believe he got bullied by Pelosi in one of those its now or never type of deals (having both houses). I think if he would have spent his political capital all on the economy and had better results with it, 2010 would have been even bigger gains for the Dems instead of the opposite. Then, HCR could have been written with a single payer option and everyone would have embraced it. At this point, we still are not out of the woods economically, and it may cost him in 2012.
