Romney would support having marginally more money in angel investors' pockets and making marginally less government-directed investments, e.g. Solyndra. So there's a minor Hayek vs. Keynes theme in the election.

So you could just as well say that Romney is the Keynes-side in this election, especially since the politics would be much more favorable toward Romney pushing stimulus than Obama. In practice, you've got to look at what model of the world is motivating candidates and their economic advisers. In both cases, Keynes is whom they turn to.
