Give me one good reason to vote for Obama this November

[Proud Liberal Dem]

67. Under the best circumstances

President Obama, particularly with a more moderate/progressive Congress, will be able and willing to push some decent moderate/left-of-center policies and, most importantly, SIGN THEM INTO LAW!

Under the worst circumstances, he will be able to block reactionary and regressive Republican Tea Party legislation from becoming law. He will, as others have pointed out, will be able to nominate SCOTUS replacements if any die/retire over the next 4 years, maybe not solidly ideologically liberals but some solid moderate/left-of-center justices whom will serve as counterweights against the more reactionary members of the court (i.e. Scalia, Thomas, et. al). President Obama will also still have significant control of the Federal Government and its regulatory agencies.

Until we can elect a much more solidly progressive Congress and/or the Republicans sober up and start acting like sane and rational beings again and refuse to stop obsessively pandering to the Pat Robertson/Fox News/hate radio crowds, the prospects for FDR/LBJ advancement of progressive policies seems somewhat limited at the Federal level, unfortunately, but handing election after election to the Republicans, particularly since they've become so increasingly radicalized, is inestimably worse by any measure IMHO.
