I thought it was a funny metaphor. Romney was referencing the Navy of WWI, the President referenced the tactics of WWI. So says the original Twisted FISTER.

I would love to agree with you...but I just can't. He has way too much support (as all candidates do) from party hard liners. Call them "yellow dog" Dems, they would elect a golden retriever (albiet would probably do a superior job than our current President) to office just because it has a (D) next to it's name.

His next line of support comes from a just as irrational concept. RACE: He will carry a massive amount of the minority vote for myriads of reasons not the least of which is media sponsored bias against caucasions. Which makes me worried about a close vote. If the numbers between the candidates is within the margin of error and the decision goes Romney's way, Detroit will burn. It will have to be the first violent regime change this nation has ever seen. I think the Supreme Court knows this and will make the wrong decision for the right reasons.

Third he's the incumbent. 'nuff said on that one.
