January 21, 2013: Mitt Romney names former Exxon-Mobil Lee Raymond as the Administrator of EPA. Z S breaks a world record by making hundreds of cynical, depressing, sarcastic remarks within one hour.

You will of course note that after ridiculing Obama for creating an "Office of the President-Elect" that Romney -- well, you know.

Feb, 2013. New Osama bin Laden videos surface scorning Obama for having failed to kill him. Although bin Laden looks and sounds suspiciously like a muppet, Romney vows never to rest until ObL is eliminated as a threat to the USA.

For starters:• Another 4 years of congressional obstructionism (this time from the Senate), only with really bad judicial picks. • Sometime in February, the Romney camp actually has to figure out what tax loopholes it gestured about during the campaign were. • Israel gets the go-ahead for an ineffective air-raid on Natanz, with retaliation via Hezbollah and Shia uprisings throughout the Gulf states. Oil spikes to $200/bbl.• Latin American states eject last US military cadres & DEA and adopt limited drug legalization.• Tax incentives for green energy end. The nascent US wind & solar industry is crushed. • Atmospheric CO2 levels top 400 ppm just in time for the 2016 election. Two years of drought essentially end agriculture in the Southern great plains. Water rationing in Colorado river basin.

Oct. 2016. Just days before the presidential election, President Romney announces the surprise death of Osama bin Laden, crediting his quadrupling the defense budget as the difference maker. George W. Bush, now rehabilitated, praises Romney, but slips and refers to killing "my friend, Osama bin Laden" rather than killing "Osama bin Laden, my friends".

i did wonder how many republicans didn't vote at all because of the mormon thing. i wonder if there is a poll for that. it had to be a factor for the hardcore christians. do other christian churches even recognize mormonism as a real thing? i doubt they do. i know some christians consider it anti-christian.

evangelicals largely made their peace w/ it, 'better a mormon than a muslim', billy graham website still had it listed under cults until recently but that seemed more outdated glitch than active concern. i haven't seen anti-mormon propaganda from baptist churches, etc in forever (and it used to be super common in the 80s), since well before romney was a national figure so i don't think it was a gesture of party unity (i do still see anti-catholic leaflets, chick comics, etc. on occasion). voting turnout wasn't significantly in bible belt and in ga at least romney won by a bigger margin than mccain. i don't think his religion really turned out to be a factor, either against him or for him (i was worried about nevada at one point).
