Recent history teaches that the people and the process can be manipulated to place a "pre-selected" candidate. Scare quotes, because the candidates pick themselves, but one of them is more attractive by dint of being an insider who is willing to tailor policy for interests that he favors.
WSJ is a big/crony business interest, and if WSJ thinks Romney is in the running, it will shill for him on the front end, to gain favor in case he wins.
I think the wsj is getting a bad rap here today.
I’m not convinced they are pro romney as much as they are strongly anti obama.
I read their collumns on the republican primary and I read the words of people genuinely afraid of what obama could do to us in four more years.
Like most people who are afraid they may have run to the “safest” bet.
Let’s not forget that this is one of the very very few truly mainstream media outlets that hammers obama every damn day. Cut them a bit of stack. Also, try posting on their relies if you’re a subscriber. They do listen.
That’s true...but in reality, he has no chance of winning and even the WSJ must see this. So I assume that means what they really want is 4 more years of Obama. But since Wall Street was a massive contributor to Obama’s campaign, I guess that’s not a surprise.
