Ya, ya... I know.
I honestly thought that Romney would pull it out. I guess that I failed to recognize just how unappealing the GOP must be these days to moderate voters. Such a shame, because our fiscal health is very poor and we need new leadership. I hope that in 2 years, we will have some better choices in Congress to make some serious change to the way things have been going.
There en lies the real answer to all of this. Even with his executive orders and replacing fed judges (that's one area that I can almost guarantee Romney wouldn't do any better), an all Republican (actually republican, fiscally/foreign-policy conservative, actually for our freedoms - for everyone... not one of the sheep in wolf's clothing) congress will be what saves our bacon.
