This - but the fact that Romney had a proven track record as a successful executive running things tends to make me believe that he would have been far superior to Obama.

Regardless of agreeing with all of his policies - just being successful as the head of a large operation puts Romney far ahead of Obama.

Obama has shown himself incapable of running anything larger than a community organizing office.

America has and is suffering the consequences...............

Valerie Jarrett is actually running things. Zero is a fundraiser. It's Weekend at Bernie's.

I'd vote Gary Johnson if I had a do-over.

You mean government handouts can do for an electorate.

The difference, is, Romney had a track record of successfully managing an executive position. Obama, not so much.

Obama got a peace prize for being black and voting present, there's that.

My vote for Johnson didn't throw Alabama to Obama.

So if you lived in a swing state, how would you have voted?

Well...when compared to Mitt. He just might have.

Quote:Romney can't be accused of leaving the state in a shambles, local experts say, and his tenure was by no means a disaster. He left the state with one towering accomplishment -- universal health care, an achievement neither Romney nor Obama likes to mention now. But Romney fell short of his campaign pledge to change the state's political culture, stymied by a combination of entrenched interests and his own failure to cultivate relationships. And his naked positioning for national office in the latter part of his one term left a bad taste in many mouths.

"I think there's really a Romney One and a Romney Two," said Marty Linsky, a lecturer at Harvard's Kennedy School and former Republican state legislator. "Romney One really worked very hard to try to do what he thought was in the best interests of the commonwealth; Romney Two worked very hard to position himself to run for president of the United States."

By the end, Linsky said, "People felt they didn't know who he was. The only way to make sense of his trajectory was that he was only about himself."

Was Mitt Romney a Good Governor

My vote for Johnson didn't throw Alabama to Obama.

Nor did mine throw Texas to Obama.

Had I been in a swing state where my vote mattered, I would have voted Romney. Johnson if you can, Romney if you must. I'd be hard pressed to imagine anyone that I wouldn't vote for against Obama in those circumstances.

I don't know. I don't live in a swing state.

Funny...I seem to remember many liberals and democrats being taken to task by others for just voting Obama so that they made sure the Republican lost. Good to know they're no different than you folks. Thanks!
