EUROPE is not well. But forget about the hundreds of millions of Europeans who stand to suffer from a deepening of the continent's misfortunes, if you can. What about America? Won't anyone think of us for a change? How about the president? Won't anyone think of him for once? What happens to our presidential election if between now and November Europe is visited by the dread Grexodus, or whatever we're calling it, and everything goes to hell? Mitt Romney becomes a real boy, is my guess.
