It is interesting to see the lengths at which the Romney/Ryan campaign has gone to avoid any specifics on nearly all of their platforms. Their campaign strategy seems to be to ride out the distaste for Obama and hope to reveal everything once elected. The Kaiser Family Foundation Health Tracking poll from August 2012 found that although people see Obama and Romney's plans for health care as different, 51% are unsure how Romney's plan is different.
As if this is all an intentional game of confusion, Romney said over the weekend that he would keep some parts of the ACA, like the no pre-existing conditions clause. From Romneycare to repeal the ACA to keeping parts of it? What's really going on here?
That had me laughing like an idiot in the middle of the student lounge! Isn't it amazing how much more compelling a position is, when numbers are included?
On a semi-related note, the lack of details being provided by the Romney/Ryan campaign makes frustrates me immensely. This feels like the first presidential election in a long time where the key issues are really substantive issues (eg healthcare instead of "family values") but with no details from the republicans we are unable to have a serious public debate. In my mind this is a major opportunity lost for our country.

Love John Stewart. "It's like a beautiful mind. Shouldn't it just be like, I don't know...a mind?"
