Econmist Begrudgingly Endorses Obama By Senator Wayne.

Link to the article.

A quote I take from Jay-Z is, "When the grass is cut, the snakes will show."

That seems to be the lesson of this election. We were able to watch one after another republican candidates drop, as if  blue shells were given to each contestant in this mazing game of political Mario Kart.

Here's the jist:
"Indeed, the extremism of his party is Mr Romney’s greatest handicap. The Democrats have their implacable fringe too: look at the teachers’ unions. But the Republicans have become a party of Torquemadas, forcing representatives to sign pledges never to raise taxes, to dump the chairman of the Federal Reserve and to embrace an ever more Southern-fried approach to social policy. Under President Romney, new conservative Supreme Court justices would try to overturn Roe v Wade, returning abortion policy to the states. The rights of immigrants (who have hardly had a good deal under Mr Obama) and gays (who have) would also come under threat. This newspaper yearns for the more tolerant conservatism of Ronald Reagan, where “small government” meant keeping the state out of people’s bedrooms as well as out of their businesses. Mr Romney shows no sign of wanting to revive it."
