One of the staples in life has been 1/2 gallons of ice cream. Life had its ups and downs, but you could always count on those rows of 1/2 gallon containers. For no apparent reason, and with no obvious drop in price, the containers disappeared, replaced by 1.5 quarts.
Romney has always struck me as 1/2 quart low. He has the rich, white, creamy vanilla part down, but is only empty calories. He has the intelligence, he has the ambition, but he lacks conviction. No matter how rocky the road, you always know the values and goals that drive Obama. Romney is always the flavor of the day. In Virginia, a state with a large military vote, he expounds on the importance of spending tens and perhaps hundreds of billions on new naval ships, when there is no other naval power, now, or on the horizon. He only likes the cherry on top. He spends a convention talking about so-called job creators, but shows no interest in workers. He promises big extra scoops for defense spending, seeking 2 trillion in increases, but forgets to thank the troops.
He is a shiny new package, but the container lacks empathy. He is a half quart down.
