It will be interesting. But I think it’s really more interesting that Obama is struggling so little, given the state of the economy. Romney is just not a very popular guy.

SK: He makes Al Gore look positively vivacious. IMHO, it doesn’t matter who wins. I don’t think Obama has much of plan and I’m sure that Romney doesn’t. Both sides have now taken to simply talking past the problems, or vilifying the other guy/side for the situation. Neither is a recipe for success.
If Obama gets re-elected, the GOP will go into all-out trench warfare mode and guarantee he’s a lame duck from the jump. If Romney wins… well, I’m pretty sure we know how that’s gonna turn out – great if you’re a member of the oligarchy, not so great otherwise.
Long-term, what will be interesting is whether or not the average American figures out that our political class has failed us and failed us because they’ve been pandering to the average American for the last two generations. Also interesting will be the reaction of the younger generation, which is seeing a massive wealth transfer from their pockets to the boomers/elderly. There’s a backlash in there somewhere…
