I am not trying to be hard on McCain, whose military career I respect, but to think that the GOP would be getting something better in Romney than it got in McCain is delusional. He may be a better debated than McCain, but he suffers from all the same weaknesses of political temperament and perspective (as his record clearly shows), plus he is going to have to answer for Mormonism. Again, I do not mean to purposely insult Mormons, but if anyone thinks for one moment that the strange and - in my opinion - impossible to defend history of the Mormon church is not going to be on the Obama team’s (and this would include the alphabet TV and radio media and much of the newspaper media) target radar, that person too is deluded. It’s going to happen. And in certain states it’s going to cost votes, probably enough to change the outcome.
If the Coulters, National Reviews, and GOP insiders don’t know this (inside a bubble?), they don’t how how to call this election.
You make some good points that’s for sure.
My previous comment to you was because I liked your “out there” sense of humor...made me chuckle!
