Romney, Obama and the hobgoblins of democracy

Neck-and-neck race between President Barack Obama and presumptive Republican candidate, Mitt Romney will be the most expensive campaign in American history. This will be a battle between two powerful political organization. And good betting circumstances to get really bad.

There is a real difference between the two candidates–one is a classical liberal, the other a classic conservative–but not the renegade. And, despite what partisans might be declared, bombastic man not anything close to radical.

Arguably, Messrs. Obama and Romney brings many liabilities as assets. For President Obama, the economy continues to be the biggest obstacles at the prospect. Although things are better now than they have been in a few years, and although the Obama camp can properly argue that the President came into Office facing the worst economic conditions in 80 years, many people still expect better.

Mr. Obama has accomplished many goals of liberal missed to see accomplished–national health care program, gays serving openly in the military, the Democrats four years ago, Mr. Obama is a candidate for transformative; now feel very little change.

Mr. Romney never had love to begin with. He did not win the nomination in gush happily voter enthusiasm; He was arrested with a winning organization and a lot of money. Many factions of the tea party.
