We will pretty much have to agree to disagree.
Whatever charisma Obama may have been granted has long ago been exhausted. I know people that voted for him that now switch the channel when he appears on the screen or at the sound of his voice. The "smarts" thing...not seein' it.
I suppose your definition of REALLY smart liberals is code for Keynesians but it is an oxymoron to me. I am hoping Vice President Ryan will ask Ron Paul for advice.
I think the ditch we are in has become so deep it can't be fixed in four years so I think Romney will facr a really tough re-election in 2016. I am sure he will not be facing Biden and replacing him with Hillory may help Obama now and would certainly help Hillary in 16.
