I don't see where Romney is now this "excellent" candidate. He wasn't a good candidate in 2008. He lost to McCain despite being the establishment's choice, and the grassroots preferring him to McCain, although not enthusiastically. This year, he has some of the same problem although with more grass roots ire. He can not close a sale. People don't trust him. He can't break 25% in the polls. He couldn't beat McCain. He was a one term governor.

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
