If you haven't had the chance to read Romney's pro-business, limited government platform, you will find it offers a realistic approach to fixing the problems created by the Obama administration. You can read a summary here.

The differences between Obama and Romney are evident and the 2012 election will probably highlight one of the biggest differences in economic platforms. Last week, Obama was a little too honest when he said he though the private sector was doing fine based on "corporate profits" and his solution to fixing the rest of the economy was to hire more and more public employees. That is sincerely his goal. The reason some companies are making profits is because they are being forced to survive the Obameconomy by reducing their staff, shuttering segments of their operations, moving work oversees, and limiting the scope of what they can do.

At the same time, these business are holding on to what they can fearful of the Obama regulations that are sure to come, the negative effects of Obamacare on businesses, and the constant threat of taxation. Any conservative that is somewhat apprehensive towards Mitt Romney should read his economic platform and see what a welcome relief these policies would be.
