As much sense as what you said.
If he knows how to balance his pocketbook, I'd rather he vote for what will benefit said pocketbook than those who have no concept of work or budget who votes to further their laziness.
Interesting how polarizing politics is. Yesterday, Carville calls Romney the weakest candidate in modern history, and I think Obama is the weakest incumbent of my lifetime. Maybe we're both right.
"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

Mondale was easily the weakest candidate since 1975.

I would add Dole and then if one.were to go back before.75 I would add McGovern and Goldwater.
Kerry was a dunce but he was against a fairly weak incumbent who had gotten elected under controversial circumstances.
I think the only candidates that were up against incumbent presidents that were demonstrably better than Romney were the guys that actually won, Reagan and Clinton. I'm not sure where to put Carter he barely won against the backdrop of Watergate.
I think George Will's Dewey comparison may be apt.
Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”
This so reminds me of myself in residency.
You know, before I had to pay any taxes.
I pay taxes. And I deduct very little because I like paying taxes. And I may never make 6 figures since I'll be in academics. Only 10 weeks of residency left.

Honest question. Was Clinton a stronger candidate than Romney at this point in the election cycle (Spring '91)? I ended up being surprised by Clinton as president (multiple times) but I thought he was a week candidate during the democratic primaries who had some obvious baggage.
