Pamela,
Oh, please let me be clear. I am very happy with Obama. My only fascination with Romney is what would happens if he were SIMULATANEOUSLY put under pressure from competing interests. It is by no means a noble curiosity. It would be like slowing down to look at a car wreck.

Bush was "in charge," "the decider," etc. I think Romney's whole campaign shows this. He's a plaything of The Interests. I immediately got your reference to the possibility of a Bork-directed set of Supreme Court nominees. Doesn't give you a good feeling in the pit of your stomach. I was not thrilled with Obama's bending over to Wall Street. But on most other issues, I'm okay with him; he'll get my vote.

My reference to the supreme court was not and enthusiasm for a Bush v Gore kind of out come .. I think there might be blood in the streets, if that happened again, chiefly because I might be willing to shed some . but a fear for the four replacements of sitting justices that may occur during the next 4 years.
