Coburn supported the product of the deficit commission that he was on. He really worries about deficits. If you do worry, Mittens is a better choice than Rick in my opinion, and I suspect his. That is for starters. Beyond that, most GOP elected officials I suspect at this point, really want this primary to be over. It just  isn't helping their objectives at this point.

Even with his new tax plan?

That's was rolled out because Mittens got nervous, which is a pity. I doubt anyone takes it seriously. But even with that, Rick's math and assumptions are still considerably more unrealistic - to say the least.

LOL if you really care about deficits, you support Obama. Rommey's "cut taxes, massively expand the military" budget will bankrupt us.

When Obama starts saying, much less doing, one f'ing useful thing about reining in entitlements, get back to me. That swamps everything else by a huge margin. That is the single biggest factor about Obama that really engages me. The man has been AWOL! It's a disgrace in my opinion. He's putting our nation at risk on that one.

Even if taxes on "the rich" hit 100%, we still are in deep trouble unless something rather major is done. Mittens does not want to expand the military budget much if at all, he wants to keep spending about where it is (moving money around, and cutting out "waste" so he can build more boats), while Obama wants to cut it. On that one, I probably lean more towards Obama (the "waste" thing for some reason never seems to translate into saving real dollars when someone ran on getting rid of it, and then gets elected and has an opportunity to do so). But again that is rounding error relatively speaking as compared to entitlements, and in particular, medical subsidies, which are eating us alive.
