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.

Wasn't even really close in 2008? Did you even follow the primaries? Man, you are dense.

Why wouldn't he be a viable candidate in 2012? Being removed from public office for 3 years will probably help him.

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

No Republican is going to win CA anyway.

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.
