Will the Libya Crisis Help Obama or Romney?

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Clinton probably did the best job one could, but the same is true of Romney with regards to Massachusetts.

The difference, of course, is that Clinton, while Governor of Arkansas, spent time in Arkansas, exhibited a reasonable familiarity with the culture of Arkansas, and actually devoted significantly more than two and a half to three years of his political career to pretending to specifically care about Arkansas. That, and he didn't try to balance budgets by charging people for being blind.

It's worth noting that Clinton was Governor for ten years. Romney, on the other hand, served one term, spent half of this time prepearing to run for President. 

Exactly. More than two and a half to three years pretending to care.

Romney obviously spent his four years as Governor of Massachusetts committed to the job every bit as much as Clinton was committed to his job as Governor of Arkansas.

Which would be a nice line were it true.
