5. Call this flame bait if you wish, but how would a Romney Presidency differ from an Obama Presidency?

Some argue Romney is a puppet of big money and special interests.
There are people, on DU, making the same charges against President Obama.
President Obama hasn't found a way to raise taxes on the rich.
President Obama hasn't found a way to reign in the power of corporations.

I suspect President Obama is more GLBT friendly.

Would a President Romney be slower in getting us out of Iran and Afghanistan?

Would a President Romney be a major disappointment to the Tea Party faithful?
