That this has not exactly been a stellar campaign--yep

That Romney is incoherent--yep

That there is no difference between what Romney is proposing on foreign policy and what Obama has been doing--I haven't been bird-dogging everything Romney may have said on foreign policy, but that might be accurate.  

That there would likely be no significant difference between a Romney and an Obama foreign policy--no, at least I don't see that as a solid assertion.  Romney's stable of foreign policy advisors include a whole buncha folks who just cannot get up in the morning if there isn't some war (referring to a conventional or sustained guerilla war, not the drone war Obama has been waging and that Romney would continue) out there that they can send our soldiers off to fight.

No difference on SS and Medicare positions.  Obama has me nervous as hell that he is going to go for a grand bargain during the lameduck Congressional session, win or lose.  This would require that the Republicans agree to new revenues.  Which would be a radical break from what has been a core position for them in recent years.  However, if they want to make the argument to their base that a one-time concession on this point was necessary to set in motion the destruction of SS and Medicare...well, perhaps they'd do it.  There is another interpretation--that Obama is bluffing them with both the belief and the hope they don't put new revenues on the table, giving him the excuse to walk away without SS or Medicare cuts but looking like he's been "flexible" and "serious" on reducing the deficit.  I think it's a really dangerous bluff to play. If he does go through with that during the lameduck session, then, depending on what Democrats in Congress do, I'll be reconsidering my political commitments in a more serious way than at any time since I became politically active some 30+ years ago.    Not that it matters...but that is not a bluff.

That, therefore, based on the article, there are no differences of any significance between the candidates.  No.  SCOTUS appointments, aforementioned judged likelihood of more wars, policies affecting women and gays/lesbians, whether we try to implement and build on Obamacare or repeal and do nothing or adopt something that might do away with the mandate but would also do away with the pre-existing conditions protections, etc.    

My two pennies, anyway.  On the main point of how collectively deadening this campaign and the coverage of it has been...no disagreement from me on that.
