This was also the reason I was rooting for Ron Paul, despite disagreeing with him on a large number of issues. Despite knowing that there is no way he would ever get a nomination.

Do you think Romney, given that he also very likely going to be considered evil by application of this standard, is likely to be more or less evil than Obama?


Thats the great question of the day. My general position is that he is more deserving of the chance because it is not yet known that he will be.

As I said earlier, I put it at about 80% that Romney would be as bad. It would be 100% except he is independently wealthy and Mormon. So he may not feel as much like he has to succumb to outside pressure and actually surprise some people with some honest govt.
