This has probably been seen by most but bears another look considering the recent dropouts. Maybe we can still draft Gingrich?

The only two with a rating over 5 left are Romney and Huckabee, so I guess one of them strikes your fancy?

This from Patriot Post:

On that note, let’s start with some “straight talk” about John McCain, who posts a solid, and decidedly unflattering “5” in our ratings. That is half way between Ronald Reagan and V.I. Lenin’s ignoble ranks of “useful idiots.”

The context today is winning the election, something Gingrich could never do, patriot or not. I’ll go with Romney as the most likely to beat the dem candidate.

They haven’t done their candidate profile on him yet, but I assume it will be out in the next few days.

I could vote for Romney without problem (although I know some who will not). I would have a rough time voting for McCain or Huckleberry.

Yep, and McCain should be lower than Keyes.

Weird! I could vote for Huckabee without problem (although I know some who will not). I would have a rough time voting for McCain or Mittens.

Now my uncle, he could vote for McCain without problem (although he knows some who will not). But he would have a rough time voting for Mittens or Huckleberry.

And my Dad, he could vote for Obama without problem (although he knows some who will not). But he would have a rough time voting for Hillary.

Any my mom, she could vote for Hillary without problem (although she knows some who will not). But she would have a rough time voting for Obama.

Then my brother. . . .

The Democrat version of this publication is the Post-Patriot.

The analysis displayed on that site is rather poor. In particular, historical and philosophical understanding is weak.

I think maybe you should sign up for their daily e-mail and you may change your mind about them. It’s FREE!
