I can wish that Hunter and Thompson had stayed in the race, but they didn’t. I can wish more Repubs had supported them, but they didn’t.

So, as always you choose from among the humans who are running, warts clay feet and all, choose the best man from among the men available, and expect to have to keep pushing every day he’s in office to keep him from giving away the store. You can’t wait for a hero to emerge, republics aren’t based on rule by heros, but rather rule by the rather ordinary folk who aspire to office, and hopefully well-supervised by their constituents. Thats us.

There is no magic formula.

For me, the best man remaining is Romney, but if you’re convinced its one of the others, I’ll not argue too much. They are all a mixed bag. I like Giuliani, but not for president, he’d make a superb UN ambassador. Bolton would be my preference at State, Petraus or Franks at Defense, and someone with a big firehose at CIA.

Yep, like the old saying goes, "wish Fred was still in on one hand and Mitt in the other and see which hand is holding more."

Not that I'm happy about that, but what can I do?

I wish John Bolton was running for Pres, he seemed pretty good from everything I read about him.

Who’s the Constitution party running?
