Where have we heard that before?

The fix is in. Barring a miracle, Romney will be the candidate.

I think Cain is angling for the VP slot, and is likely to get it. Whether that is enough to hold the GOP together is doubtful.

Yep, that’s the way I see it. Romney/Cain.

I sure hope not.

Anyone who doesn’t know Herman Cain is in this to win is either a blind or a just doesn’t care for Cain.

Cain will endorse Romney again and so will Bachmann.

All the conservative here who put Cain and Bachmann ahead of Perry are in for a real let down.

Of course the fix is in. Romney will get the nod, and whether he or Obama wins won’t matter.

You and the Post imagine that there's a large body of "moderate Republicans" out there just waiting for the chance to foist Romney off on everybody else.

Get real ~ Romney has a "cap" ~ a very real "cap". He's doing no better now than he's done in the past. Even with Old Kenosha Money behind him, and the help of Preibus, himself an Old Kenosha Money type running the RNC, it won't help.

Romney has too many negatives ~ flip flopping on issues of interest to the 55% base of the party who are social Conservatives, folding on Gay Marriage, agreeing to destroy Massachusetts economically with Romney Care ~ which also did nothing but encourage the Democrats to try to do the same thing to all of us nationally ~ and, of course, the nation is economically prostrate at the moment.

The only way Romney is going to have a place in the next Administration is if he gets out there and campaigns FOR SOMEONE ELSE!

No, supporting Perry is supporting Romney.

They are different faces of the same old Establishment GOP coin. The only reason Perry is in the race is to split the Tea Party/Conservative vote.

Perry is the Bush wing of the GOP. The social conservative/political moderate crony capitalist wing. Romney is the McCain/Dole wing the social liberal, political moderate crony capitalist wing of the GOP.

Perry vrs Romney is Bush vrs McCain 2000 all over again.

I think you are, alas, right on target.
