Now that takes the notion of the least bad alternative to another level. If my wife and others complain that voting for Obama is a lesser evil vote, living with Romney as president as some sort of next stage down the path into the lesser evil stuff, well, that's, hmmm, a gripping metaphor escapes me. Dale's very capable territory.

But I must say there is something to that argument, best I can tell. The argument that the nuttier the Rep candidate, the better for Obama has a great deal of appeal, of course. But there is one scenario to worry about. The electorate this year is extremely unpredictable, angry, you name it. We could wind up with the nuttier-than-thou Rep as a president. And a whole collection of nuttier-than-thou members of congress.

I need only to think back to 1980, as several of us have said to one another here. Reagan was too nutty to win. And look what that got the country.!!
