Tuesday night, I was watching coverage of the Iowa Caucuses. I couldn’t go because I am not a registered Republican. I have never voted Republican in any presidential election. I am, for the most part, a straight ticket voter. Edited to add: I have, for the most part, always chosen Democratic candidates. Not because of their party affiliation, but because I believe in those candidates and they hold more of them same beliefs as I do.

But last night there was one statement (made by Gov. Mitt Romney) that really made me question who I will vote for this November:

(referring to President Obama):

“We can all agree he’s a really nice guy, but he’s in way over his head.”

I think it was a perfect statement for him to make, because I think a lot of people that are still supporting Obama are doing so because of emotions. He’s a powerful speaker, and he has charisma. He’s good looking, and has a good-looking family.

But it takes more than good looks and charisma to run the most powerful nation in the world.

Looks like I need to pay a bit more attention to what is going on outside of my own party.
