Morning Clo:
Neither my wife nor I have watched any of the Republican debates. All the candidates are handicapped because they are either 1. hopelessly regressive or 2. forced to appeal to a regressed audience. Romney is especially handicapped since he was governor of Massachusetts (the devil's playground), supported some liberal/moderate positions while governor (that he must now flip-flop on), and most Fundies would like to see God hurl him into a lake of fire for eternity because of his Mormanism. In other words, he's trying to function and succeed in a nut house.
I believe Romney might personally be OK. It's the Republican baggage he will drag along with him that bothers me. We certainly don't need any more neocon judges or right-wing deregulations.
My problem is I have zero regard for Obama (He might be getting a little better), and feel he has betrayed us. I hate to reward him with my vote for betraying us.
My wife will vote for whomever she wants. I will not directly try to influence her. She has better judgement than me.
