Alan Keyes On The Political Situation In This Election

Up front and clear: I don't agree with this assessment of Allen Keyes.  If there isn't any difference in the policies then how are we to know that one candidate is better than the other?  It's a good question.  I'm doubtful about his conclusion however.  Romney is certainly not perfect on social policy but I think he is better than Obama, and on fiscal policy he is much better than Obama.  We need to have a Republican Senate and House however to have any hope of recovering fiscal responsibility.  So while we don't have a good choice, Obama is clearly the worst of the two in my assessment.  More important we need strong Conservatives elected to the House and Senate since the Congress can constrain the president just as the Republican Congress constrained Clinton and led to balanced budgets while Gingrich was Speaker.
