How is Mitt going to be a viable candidate in 2012?
All his negatives from 2008 are still there....and by 2011, he will have been removed from any public office for 3 years. He wasn't even really close in 2008, why would 2012 be any different? I think Jeb Bush would be the best choice, frankly, but for W screwing that whole thing up.

I would guess that Prop 8 in California would be a big deal for the "No Romney" crowd.

Many people talk about wanting to see a Reagan style candidate. Someone who is fiscally conservative, but socially moderate, or at least socially quiet. Is there a potential candidate like that? Is Newt as close as it gets?

That was Giuliani, but he already blew it.

Giuliani was a bit too socially liberal to be Reaganesque.
Newt would be a terrific candidate.

Interesting perspective four years later.
In other news, on Dec 22 Tagg Romney reported to the Boston Globe that his father never wanted to be president in the first place. Mitt has yet to correct him. Still flip-flopping. |

Mitt may have been caught up in the idea that it was his destiny to be President. I.e. you think God has a plan for you, and you are blindsided when that plan does not work out.
