My own view, as a libertarian on the outside looking in, is that there is so little difference between Obama and Romney, it doesn't really matter which one wins.
Both support constant overseas wars.
Both support bailouts.
Both support TARP.
Both support the Federal Reserve (though they hardly ever mention the Federal Reserve, now that Ron Paul is out of the way).
Both support government control of medicine.
Both support the insane War on Drugs.

Two things typically happen after the major parties conventions come to an end.

Again, my friend--no substantive differences. Some window-dressing fluffery, to be sure, but no real, dramatic differences.
My challenge stands unanswered.
And if you're so blind that you can't see the difference between the two, have your dog lead you to a doctor.
Vague fluff like "Romney's a businessman" doesn't count. Nor does, "Romney's patriotic."
I'm talking real, substantive differences. There aren't any.
I was talking about significant policy differences on the substantive issues.
