My reasoning for Romney is that I think the Americans Elect candidate will primarily split the Dem ticket, because I am guessing that he/she will be a social liberal. In my dream, AE gets a great candidate, and they win.

If there was ever an environment that AE could actually win, this is it. It's all about the candidate now. I've heard some people mention Elizabeth Warren in some forums.

More than split the ticket, she would motivate all GOP supporters to come out to vote. They HATE her. They have done everything in their power to make sure that her consumer protection plans will fail miserably. She is the worst nightmare for greedy pigs.

Why, because she believes in an equitable tax code?

That sounds like commie talk.
Seriously though, I think that's it. I believe FoxNews hates on her pretty hard, but I don't watch any of that cable 'news' stuff. I think the best AE candidate would be hard to pin down politically. Although that will be the game to play by the 'news'.

That's the problem, right? The kind of person that would run for office would have to be the kind of person that wouldn't mind getting the crap kicked out of them via the cable news jack-offs. Most sensible non-egocentric people don't what that. Congress is an example of the type of people that don't mind that. -Makes me shudder-
