There’s just no way to know. Romney has taken both sides of every major issue and is running a TBAWIE (to be announced when I’m elected) campaign. He could be great; he could be horrible. Should be interesting.
I hope we don’t find out.
He’s managed to turn a tepid Dem like me – not particularly happy with Obama’s performance – into a solid Dem voter. Romney reminds me of every asshole boss I’ve ever read about or had. He’s the sort of arrogant fuckhead who will tell you no medical insurance for your kids because the company can’t afford it and then turn around and buy a new company car. Worse, deduct the cost of the car so he pays a lower tax rate than you do.
His running mate is a vile, delusional, santimonious twit who worships an idiot like Ayn Rand and believes that rape is just another means of conception.
Ew.
This is just going to be a question for fun, because I already know the answer having pointed out factually how you don’t know what you’re talking about in other threads, where you proceed to ignore me and just move on to your next right-wing madness, so I know you don’t have any board integrity, but:

Care to take that back?
Wasn’t he working the graveyard shift at various fast food restaurants during that time? I mean, he is one of -those- people, after all.
No thanks - he was part time.

So is State Senator “part time”?
See, I did the same thing you did rogerbox, but then remembered it’s Shodan. And there are more than enough folks on the internet calling the State Senate of Illinois a “part time” job (which I think it is defined as in state law or something) that he has plenty of cover for his claim.
Of course, I haven’t counted the days, but the time from his swearing in to the US Senate in 2005 until his resignation in Nov 2008 has to be pretty close to the time between his swearing in as POTUS (Jan 2009) and today. In fact, I’d think the Senate term is probably longer, at least marginally.
There is, however, also this part:
Which is cited. He hasn’t been POTUS for 4 years yet, so I think this law job (described as “full time”) is probably longer.
I’d be a bit worried that Romney’s legendary business skills might be out-dated - he hasn’t had a real job in, what, 5 years or more now?
Last time I checked, 52404 > 3723.

I can think of one in particular.

OK, just put this to bed:
US Senate: Sworn in Jan 3, 2005. Resigned Nov 16, 2008. 1413 days as US Senator.
POTUS: Sworn in Jan 20, 2009. Today is August 27, 2012. 1315 days as POTUS.
OK, then if Obama finishes his first term, then his tenure as Leader of the Free World will be the longest he ever held a full-time job in his life.
Or we can agree that the difference is too small to worry about. You know, just like the difference between 55% and 95%.

WTF does any of this part time job shit have to do with what a Romney presidency would be like?
