let me finish tonight with this. i don't know anybody who's impressed with this campaign so far, and i'm talking about both candidates. romney seems like a guy trying desperately not to make another mistake, hoping the economic numbers will win it for him. if they get just a little bit worse and he can avoid blowing it. after all these years of running for just a few months more. now, can you think of anything less inspiring than that? a guy just trying not to crash, hoping that the economy will do it for him. obama, to be fair, hasn't been all that inspiring either. i know times are tough and he can't just play defense, and i know that means hitting his rival in the shins. but like you i remember that wonderful poster from 2008 with that picture of him looking upward and that single word, "hope." hope is what this campaign has lacked. romney is basically calling a return to normalcy, all this restore our future stuff, that's what his party promised back in the early 1920s before giving us thanks to harding and coolidge
