Awesome summary by the Café: as always, it's about voting for which one scares you the least, or against the one that scares you the most.

"So who is worse? In terms of rhetoric, it's a toss-up. Bigger government vs. a possible trade war with China is an appalling choice. But I don't believe Romney will really bash China once he's in office. I think he's just pandering. So he'll label China a currency manipulator and do little about it, the way that Obama signed an order to close Guantanamo Bay and nothing happened. And the fact is that Obama won't be able to expand government much and may be forced to shrink it if there is a Republican House that is a little more Tea-Party flavored and maybe a Republican Senate.
You could argue that we could get genuine budget cuts with Paul Ryan as VP but of course, that's why Romney chose him, to convince spending hawks like me that he's serious about cutting spending. I think cutting spending will be very hard to do.
You also could argue that Romney can play Nixon-goes-to-China and reduce the political influence of Wall Street. But I've seen no inclination on his part that he might do so."
