The only way Romney gets past the primary is if enough people will hold their nose and think he can beat Obama because the pundits think he's electable. That's a dangerous game, because Romney is an extremely flawed candidate once someone gets past his salesman style. He's a sometimes good speaker who is capable of home run speeches and strikeout speeches of pandering. Bain Capital has a lot of skeletons. Romney flip flops so often that it alienates all sides.
I can think of two more electable candidates off the bat. Perry is more consistent and has a longer record. Huntsman is the "moderate" but is more consistent. Cain has a better business background and I think has equal chance as Romney.
Romney was the establishment’s choice in 2008? You got it wrong. It was McCain and the GOP listened to them. That is why we must never let the lame stream media tell us who to vote for and we must make it clear to the GOP to listen to us, and not to the LSM
A former governor of Massachussetts at a time when the economy wasn’t double-triple-dipped like it is now who implemented a health care system that is the model for Obamacare now - the words “conservative” and “Romney” should NEVER be mentioned in the same sentence by any sane conservative unless it was in the negative.....any other questions?
I can't disagree with you there. Daniels was also my choice until he said no.
The problem stems back from 2006 and 2008. George Allen lost in 06, and from what I have heard, he was supposed to be the guy for 08. We also lost a lot of gubernatorial races in 06 and 08. We took a lot of them back in 10, but they aren't experienced. Of those who were, John Hoeven (North Dakota) went for the senate instead, and Mike Rounds (South Dakota) retired. Barbour said no. Perry's in. He needs work, but he record isn't bad with the biggest issue, the economy. That gives him a legitimate shot.
Maybe in your area, but the establishment here LOVED Romney and HATED McCain. It wasn't as anti-McCain nationally as it was in Michigan (going back to Engler/Bush vs McCain rivalries), but Romney was quite popular in DC as well and was quietly the choice of a lot of them.
At this point in 07, McCain was also considered dead in the water. It was Rudy or Romney.
Dead wrong, you are just too ignorant to recognize him. L\
Slick Willard...
...the FAIL is EPIC.
Dead wrong, you are just too politically ignorant to recognize him.
Demanding we find professional politician to rush in to "fix" the current system is the equivalent of putting a drug addict in charge of you bankrupt pharmacy expecting him to "save" it.
Now how am I going to unsee that??
Because I’m familiar with your thinking, your thoughts mean absolutely nothing to me at all.
