What if Mitt Romney had won?

摘要

"Don't blame me, I voted Romney," proclaims a T-shirt pop-ular among Republicans. Another gag, popular in the conservative blogosphere, begins: "They told me that if I voted for Romney..." and then adds the horror of the week. For example: "They told me that if I voted for Romney, Detroit would go bankrupt. And they were right!" All this is nearly as much fun as obstructing Barack Obama in the House of Representatives. But what if Mitt Romney had won in 2012? America would now be nearly 200 days into his first term in the White House. It is worth pondering how different things might look.
