Republicrats

With Mitt Rommey dropping out of the presidential race it looks like we'll have two Presidential Candidates in the Fall election, both from the same party. Republicrats. Back to my Jelly Bean Theory. Both candidates in an attempt to appeal to everyone one will stump with the same campaign message, "What do you want and what can I provide for you and your every desire? " I don't know about you, but Santa Claus comes once a year. I want a real leader for President not Santa Claus.
Leadership is not convincing a group of Boy Scouts to go to a Pizza Party, but convincing them to go home and attack their homework with gusto.
This country needs more people to get on with their lives both economically and socially with gusto, not believe the President is going to provide. Of the three candidates left in the race, Hillary, Obama and McCain, frankly only Obama doesn't immediately fail the leadership test and that's only because after only two years in the senate he hasn't done anything! I did note however, while Obama was in the Illinois State Senate he voted present over 100 times. Yes, he attended the sessions but did he not have an opinion? I don't think he'd grow new stripes if he were to over come some real strong odds and win the presidential prize.
Maybe given the law of unintended consequences, a void of leadership in a president will yield a real leader on the national scene.
