Romney will be the GOP nominee

[Winehole23]

Gingrich has climbed the way up to 12%. That's Rick Perry territory.

Nearly Half of Voters (Including Many Repubs) Believe the GOP Is Sabotaging the Economy So Obama Won't Get Re-Elected

With 51 percent of voters saying that jobs and the economy are the most pressing issues in the nation today, 49 percent said they believe that the Republicans are intentionally hindering efforts to boost the economy so that President Barack Obama will not be reelected. Thirty-nine percent disagreed. As expected, most registered Democrats (70 percent) agreed that Republicans are intentionally hindering the economy and hurting Obama, but independents (52 percent) and even some Republicans (24 percent) also agreed.

Meanwhile, the House Repugs propose to affirm "In God We Trust"

Sorry but Romney is done. He's peaked.

I read where evangelical leaders could go with Willard, but evangelical followers not really.

iow, all the Repug candidates suck badly, have major weaknesses, the common trait being dumbness.

Only one that us in the vein if stupid a la wild choad is perry. Romney and Cain are not on that level. Romney's issue is nobody trusts his sincerity on anything.

Romney is the only one who can beat Obama, and he probably would. Nominating one of the Christian Taliban would be suicide for the GOP.

Romney's flip-flopping could very well cause him the election. I don't see Gingrich and all his baggage getting the nomination.

Romney is the only one that has a good shot to pull some of the independent vote, and he'll get a huge turnout from the conservatives who will vote anyone other than Obama. Any other candidate will only pull the conservative base that Romney would get anyways. I honestly think Romney would mop the floor with Obama, while any of the right-wing extremists would be the 2012 version of Sharron Angle.

Willard's biggest threat is the $100Ms he'll suck out of the financial sector.

Oh, I do believe he Romney can win but I don't see him winning by a blowout. There are many on the religious right who will not vote for Romney and just stay home and the "stay at home" crowd could very well hurt Obama as well.

[JoeChalupa]

And although the Unions are not as powerful as they once were, Romney's let the auto makers fail comments won't help him at all.

IMO, Huntsman is a good candidate and i'd vote for him. i like him from the start. what doesn't make any sense to me is he hasn't caught any claught in the GOP. he's basically Romney without all the flip-flopping/political prostution.

Huntsman is way too moderate for the GOP and the fact that we worked for Obama is an absolute killer for conservatives. In fact, anyone who works for or agrees with anything Obama doesn't stand a chance. That is why the GOP congress won't budge on anything. They are all on the McConnell wagon.

I think you're hugely underestimating the hatred of Obama from the right. Ted Stevens could rally the base against him.

clout, you lout

[mingus]

i dont think Romney would win against Obama. in the primary he'd lose for the same reasons Kerry lost to Bush: flip-flopping. he's flip-flopped on so many issues and he can't escape now and he wouldn't escape it in the primaries when the lights are brighter and Obama exploits it 10x better than Perry has.

Oh, believe me, I know and see the hatred almost everyday as it comes out of the mouths of the GOP leadership. But that doesn't necessarily lead to an election victory. Obama's base can also rally once again....OH YES THEY CAN!!!

yup. Bush got the re-election even though same hate was coming from Left.

actually this looks exactly like the Bush reelection but inverted.

Politicians flip-flop; it's what they do. In a normal election I would not give Romney much of a chance, but in this one to get the Kenyan Muslim n*gger with no birth certificate out of office?

i don't know about that. he's conservative on the issues social conservatives care about (abortion, gay marriage, etc). he should be higher in the polls. just like Pawlenty should've. it's kind of inexplicable who conservatives are throwing their hat in with.
