Just positive things that you can objectively compliment the candidates on, especially the one you plan to vote against if you've made up your mind already.
Romney-
-Stellar business resume and understands how the economy works.
-Solid family man
-Resisted the Right Wing culture of incessantly slamming the President for anything and everything during the first three years of his administration. I personally admire the heck out of him for this alone.
-Married a brilliant wife, which proves he knows how to pick a running mate
-Never joined the birther movement, criticized him on the basis of who he's met as if that automatically means he must agree with them, his middle name implying he must have terrorist leanings or be a Muslim, his pastor, taking his wife and kids with him to do good will ambassador stuff while on international missions and how much that costs the tax-payers, criticizing sleep-overs his kids had at the White House, criticizing his speaking out over the Trevon Martin case or the Henry Gates case or any of what I consider the really dumb but highly divisive things many on the right have engaged in. The dude does have class, which is more that I can say about a lot of the other candidates that didn't win the GOP nomination.
Obama-
-Saved the US auto industry and at a time when what I consider to be a key ingredient in ending our entanglement in the volatile Middle East, the electric car was being introduced.
-Solid family man and IMHO made a huge impact because of the unique circumstance of the inner-city culture to which he was being an example. Urban crime rates have drastically dropped since 2008 sociologists have no other explanation for except citing the example of the President to younger inner-city males.
-Weathered what I consider to be the object of one of the most hate-filled, unfair, held to double standards, slanderous, propaganda-filled political climates in American history.
-Married a brilliant wife who has and is making a positive impact on the health of Americans, especially younger people.
-All but destroyed Al Qaeda. The only Al Qaeda that exists today lives at Gitmo and newer terrorist who are only copying the name of the people who carrying out 9/11.
-Keeping the US economy afloat and growing despite a gradual elimination in what were American job being due to the new high tech global economy where technology/automation and cheaper overseas labor have reduced the need to employ as many Americans.
