Obama was right when he said he was completely unqualified to be president, so if Romney is the other option, I have to go with Romney.
I suspect a president Romney would do some slimey stuff, while also doing a reasonably good job - a lot like Clinton.

I feel that there is so much gridlock in Washington right now it doesn't matter who wins. Obama's economic policies turned out to be a lot like Bush's and Romney's will likely look a lot like Obama's because they are all basically supported by the same group who end up sitting at the table with them when their policies come down. If Romney wins the democrats will hate him and block any attempt he will make to repeal Obamacare and likely anything else of significance that he tries. I don't know that he will be worse than Obama. I think he will end up being pretty much the same.
The only way things could change under Romney is if the republicans win back the Senate and hold the house. The democrats will filibuster some stuff, but in the end they are pretty spineless and will eventually break. I don't know that the changes will be for the better, but they will be different.
