24. A difference? Romney officially calls himself a Republican and expressly favors Republican policies

while running for office. He doesn't call himself a Centrist. And it is likely that he will stick with the policies that he favors even after the election is over.

You're wrong when you say that I have only two choices. I never have to vote for a Republican, nor do I have to vote for any Republican-lite. I don't have to do that at all, nor do you. I can choose to express my thoughts and seek to influence the President Obama and the words that he may say before the next election. If he wants to play the populist role and make us at least feel good until the next election, he can say the words that can do that. He doesn't have to really mean it, and we won't know until after the election whether he actually means what he says. But if he and his re-election team want my vote, he needs to start saying those words. Let him pretend for a while that he is an FDR-type Democrat, a Truman-type Democrat, a JFK-Democrat, or even an LBJ-type Democrat.
