by a long shot. That might be the problem, he's a wannabe BB.

Father a polygamist who lived in Mexico? Blue bloods are usually New England or East Coast families w/roots going way back and $

He's a calculating, cold blooded elitist - an empty suit who's made far more money by firing people than keeping them employed. If people saw the true horror of what Bain Capital was doing - he would not be in the position he's in.

There may be setbacks - even a Republican president or two (though I don't think Mitt) - but the people are finally onto big business and vulture capitalism as the real enemies. There isn't anything the Repubs can do that the Dems can't quickly undo 1-2 years later.

What made you think I meant Obama?. He and Biden are hardly silver spoon people. The dems can't turn shit around without congress and 60 votes in the senate. Romney could do great damage just like Bush.
