There are two reasons I give a crap about who Romney runs with: One is that I, in part, would like to see a ridiculous choice (like McCain made four years ago) to ensure he won't get elected. On the other hand, I would prefer his choice be a sane one, because as someone else pointed out, that person should actually be up to the job that they might have someday. I, like many others, have been underwhelmed by President Obama's first term. I agree with Bill Maher when he says Obama should have realized early on that there could be no compromise with the current crop of Republican'ts, and should have taken the opportunity to lead like a true Democrat, just as Dubya led (if you can call it that) like a true Republican. That said, President Obama has removed our troops from Iraq as promised. He is removing our troops from Afghanistan on schedule as promised. He has, along with our military, put an end to not only bin Laden, but several other important al Qaeda targets. We have experienced 23 consecutive months of slow, yet steady economic growth, in spite of the mess he inherited from Bush/Cheney. President Obama doesn't try to use his religious beliefs as an excuse to interfere with women's' rights. He is intelligent, compassionate, a devoted father and husband. Our domestic auto companies are back on track. President Obama believes every American should enjoy the same health coverage we provide to members of Congress. His detractors have to resort to racism and name-calling to try to defeat him. I've been around long enough to see apathy on the part of voters allow for some really scary characters to take office. So even if it means voting for the lesser of two less than ideal choices, vote anyway.
