If Romney keeps singing, it's four more years of Obama.
That's a given

Nothing is a given, pollyrobin. Especially this early.
This election so far is nowhere nearly as divided or as strange as 2008.
The rise of the Super Pacs is the huge wild card in this one, and right now, I believe predicting any outcome is crazy. None of us know yet if there will be a Super Pac backlash, or a dozen other factors that will ultimately decide the Reupblican nominee.
But it's not bad to speculate or discuss. The more discussion starts and goes on, the more engagement of the voters happens, and that's very good for a democracy.
No matter what the outcome is, some folks are going to be happy, some mad, some dispirited, some elated, some depressed. That's the messy way of our system, but I don't think very many of us want a lockstep process that cuts out the guy on the street's thoughts. And i don't believe we want a nation that is run by only those rich enough to participate in our decisions, either.
