    Now, I want you to put away your own political ties, the odds for winning for either person for now, and think carefully about simply matching each man's abilities, experiences, potential election promises to the office of the President of the United States.

    Which person will be a better President of the United States for the next four years?


    Obama has a lot of the rhetoric nailed down, landmark reforms like repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell, Healthcare, and the experience of 4 years as President.

    Romney has about 20 years of business experience, has also had his own Healthcare reform in Massachusetts, closed the deficit, and managed the Salt Lake City Winter Olypmpics (turning a profit of $101 million)..


    So who would be better as the President of the United States for the next four years?

    That's like asking me, "Who would be a better Rocket, Scottie Pippen or Derek Fisher?" I'd say Romney, but I doubt we'll find out.

    I voted for the Alien because it (he/she?) will have some perspective.

    Tom Friedman had a great suggestion today.

    1. His train ride was SLOW. And the escalator was broken. ANd traffic. Acela should be FAST.
    2. Democrats favor high speed rail (unwritten)
    3. Republicans block it to be obstructionist(unwritten)
    4. Therefore, we need Bloomberg to run for president as a 3d party.


    Honest to goodness, he wrote this, and was paid to do so, by the nation's best newspaper. Life as a centrist is hard.

    Yes, because borders really do matter on the internet.

    They'll both be fine. They're both well-educated. One has a world-class understanding of American law, the other one was a successful governor in an ideologically hostile state, built a company and a fortune from the ground up, and fiscally and administratively rescued an entire Winter Olympiad.

    I voted "aliens" because at this point I have no idea how Romney would govern.

    I'm not making the same mistake twice:

    I'm voting for Kodos.

    Don't like Romney. He flip flops so much he'd probably try to appease all the right-wing special interest groups and his own party.

    Obama needs to drop his healthcare agenda however. Single payer should have been the system and would probably have been a much more popular decision.

    Apparently if Romney wants a shot he needs to put Aliens as his running mate.
