While I agree that it would be tragedy to put Romney in the White House, the very worst thing would be to have a Republican congress with Romney in the White House. Whoever is pulling the strings of present day republicans figure they will manage Romney in the same way they controlled Bush. Romeny may be a little smarter than Bush in some ways but his ego is larger and he is no match for those manipulating the present day republican party. His mouth coupled with his thoughtlessness will certain damage this country in the eyes of the world should he be elected. Obama has, at least, raised the level of respect for the country worldwide although the republican opposition to every positive attempt has had a neutralizing effect.
