What would Republican RR look like?

Considering the recent rich discussion in Washington about regulatory reform, what would be the prospects if Mitt Romney were to be elected? This is a very relevant issue for smart regulators as in many ways, the US has shown the way in the search for efficient regulation. A recent post on RegBlog, an often quoted source of information about developments States' side, gives a full picture of what could be expected, making allowances for "campaign bluster". Does Mitt Romney's regulatory plan, which includes a strong dosis of deregulation, truly present a serious danger to economic health and public welfare, as you could imagine from recent declarations of some of his supporters? Or does it instead offer the US a chance to renew with growth and jobs ? As you would expect, the five-part dossier brings out a nuanced conclusion.
