John Hinderaker writes that this year’s presidential election presents the starkest choice since 1980. He may be right.

One choice is guy leading a bunch of Techno-Progressives who know that they are the best and the brightest and who sincerely believe that if we will just get used to the new normal of 8+ % unemployment and slow growth they can properly manage society. Uh, huh. I’ll believe it when they make a real profit off of GM stock.

The other choice is a guy who shows tendencies of being a “good government” Republican like his father but who has at least had to make a payroll and cut his losses with failing enterprises—someone who might actually close down failing government programs.

The correct choice seems obvious to me.

Is it November yet?
