I dislike the Democrats and liberal politics and worldview but I want Obama to win against anyone besides Ron Paul.

It seems like I've seen you say this a few times, so I'm curious as to why you feel this way. Obama has flip flopped on critical issues at least as often as Romney, is also an insincere creep, and has done nothing but spew clichés and catchphrases from day one ("YES WE CAN! HURRRRR!"). So, does it merely come down to a matter of charisma?

Yes lol

Well, that's both refreshingly honest and rather distressing. Although I guess I make my decisions based on charisma, too. The main reason I'd prefer to see a non-Paul Republican beat Obama despite my lack of enthusiasm for any of them is because they lack charisma. There's something profoundly unsettling about having a guy who orders the killing of an American citizen based on justifications in a secret memo going on late night talk shows and having the crowds (and much of the media who is supposed to be holding him to account) swooning over him and his perfect smile and his perfectly pressed pants.
