    President Romney?

    I'm not great at judging beauty contests but I like Romney's chances.

    As much as the initial set of Republican potential nominees looked like a "Star Wars Bar Scene" I expect the relatively sober-minded Romney to get the nod. It's his turn, no?

    And given the state of the economy you've got to think that the opposition party has a very good chance of winning.

    Can anyone besides Obama stop the stormin' Morman? Rick Perry? The cute ex-Alaska governor?

    Also being Mormon, most think that I would automatically vote Romney for President, but not so. What I do like is that he is a successful businessman AND has had experience in government service. I think most in the Obama administration have only worked in the public sector and don't have a clue about what it takes to operate a business.

    What I don't like about Romney running for President is all the mis-information about our Church that gets dragged through the media.

    I feel pretty much the same way. It's a long way to Nov. 2012, but Mitt has the inside track for my vote right now. As far as his religion goes I could not care less. Who is the most qualified to run the country and able make the tough decisions that will get us going in the right direction? That's the only question that needs answering for me to make a decision.

    I can only speak to your reference to Tex. Gov. Rick Perry - I think that is pretty funny.

    According to the latest Texas Poll of Repubs only 4 percent of Texas Republicans say they'd vote for the governor.

    Good Lord, 5% of Texas Republicans like ebola, and a full 12% think burkas are a good idea.

    I think I could get at least 8% of Texans to say they support him just to get him out of Texas.

    Perry is George Bush without brains - think about that one.

    Peace

    With Romney maybe we could get a good Health Insurance program like they got in Mass. I wished he wouldn't run away from it to get the far right wackos. He could get support of us lefty's.

    If that's supposed to be a cut, guess what: I think it is fine that states do whateverthehell they like with health care for their citizens. Let them make a choice about what is best for them rather than a one-size-fits-all federal mandate. In fact, if it's a good enough deal, I'll move there (well, I will establish legal residency)
    As will many people, methinks.

    I think the precursor-to-Obamacare taint will hurt him too much in the primaries. I think it liklier that Pawlenty or Huntsman will get the nomination, now that Daniels has opted out.

    There is no way Romney gets the nomination. Too moderate. In Oklahoma he would be a liberal Democrat.

    I also think he is the only candidate who has better than a snowball's chance in hell to unseat Obama.

    Which isn't saying a whole lot.
