As much as I can’t stand Romney - he is our best bet by far.

It is absolutely INSANE to choose a candidate based on polls this far out from an election when one side doesn’t even have a chosen nominee.

Exactly, because most people are going to vote for whomever the Republican's nominate! A CLEAR majority of ALL of those who are willing to vote for Cain, Bachmann, etc... are going to do what is right for America and vote for the Republican nominee!

SO - let's nominate the VERY BEST person for the job! RUN, Sarah, RUN!

Pretty much what I predicted this past week.

We had one candidate with a chance to unite both the establishment and Tea Party wings of our party. He has been under relentless attack from the DNC and the GOP / Romney wing from the left, and from Paul and his supporters and the Palin supporters from the right.

It was inevitable his numbers would fall, and it was very easy to predict it would make Mitt Romney far more likely to be our nominee.

At the same time, although Perry has been badly damaged, I don't think he is dead yet. If he manages not to lose any more ground, he can still be our nominee.

If so, he would then be able to return fire, at Obama. I think the gap we see today would close quickly and (hopefully) decisively.

It is all predicated on him stabilizing quickly though. We'll see how he does.
