    Almost hard to believe that Mitt Romney fell into the trap of making this a choice election. He had it sewn up as a referendum election.

      Now it becomes a philosophy election -- with something like 50% of the population (but not the voting population) sucking on the government teet.

      Still going to be interesting - does the American public want the government to do it all for them, or do they want to build it themselves?

        Are you guys really buying the line that this is now going to turn into an election about "issues"?

        In the incredibly unlikely event that the campaigns actually did this instead of continuing WWI style trench warfare complete with gas shells, the media wouldn't have the slightest idea on how to cover such a thing and it would get lost in translation to 95% of the country who still needs to be spoon fed.

          No truth to the rumor that R&R have hired Heinz Guderian as a strategist.

            We're saying that in addition to the Horserace idiocy on the networks, and the derp fed to the masses, there is now at least an opportunity to compare economic philosophies. Before it was just a referendum on Obama's Kenyan blackness and Romney's Upper Class Twit of the Year candidacy.

                Now they'll add in "Killing old people" and "spending mah money!"

                I fail to see how this changes things aside from having different kinds of ****ty ads.

                  I would have gone with Sepp Dietrich.

                    Well, we have our first substantive issue.

                    When Obama picked Biden, God didn't kill anybody to celebrate.

                      No, it's going to be a popularity contest. That's all Obama has to run on.

                          Which is more than Romney has to run on.

                            Well, given that with the exception of Nixon, the "popularity contest guy" always seems to win these things over the last 60 years, why on earth did you pick the out of touch rich guy who enjoys firing people while socking their money away overseas?

                              That's 9 straight elections won by the guy most people would "prefer to have a beer with." It's not the whole story, but it sure is a big part of it.

                                I like to think that occasionally guys like Nate Silver go around the internet, see some comment like that and just start weeping at the fact that all of the stats, programs and polls really come down to who you'd want to sit next to at a pub.

                                Given how we created our national anthem, this was probably inevitable anyway.
