Most repubs say Mitt will be GOP nominee

Nah, it'll be Perry or Newt.

Of course, Romney has the best chance of winning. The Republican and Democratic party's only interest is in winning, not making a political statement.

The only goal of capitalism is profit. The only goal of politics is winning. Nothing else matters.

But that's the problem. The Republican party isn't interesting in winning if the establishment doesn't control the message.

Which is why they'd rather put up sure fire losers like Bob Dole or John McCain than people who will rock the boat.

For the Country Club "I've got mine, screw you" wing of the Party, the worst thing that ever happened to them was Ronald Reagan. He wasn't one of their boys. They want to make sure that will never happen again.

No, he doesn't.

First, there are a lot of us out here who simply will not vote for a Mormon. There are a lot more people who will discover, "Wow, Mormons really are nuts" when people start talking about what they actually beleive about baptizing dead people and dark skin being a curse from God.

Second, Romney isn't likable. I am always amazed when people talk electability when this fool has lost far more elections than he won.

His biggest victory was winning a whopping 49% of the Massachusetts electorate in 2002. In fact, it was his only real victory. Ever.

He was running against a non-entity (quick can you name the woman he beat without Wiki?) in a Republican Year after spending 7 million dollars for the privilage. It's kind of like bragging about how many fish you caught at the Red Lobster.

Usually, when he runs against an opponent who has, you know, a name like Ted Kennedy or John McCain, he loses.

Third- and here's the important one, he comes pretty much tailor made for the kind of campaign Obama has to run. Obama has to run against Wall Street. He has to run against these guys who have made record profits and still aren't hiring folks.

And who do the Republicans offer up. SOme asshole who put thousands of guys out of work in a pump and dump at AmPad. A guy who moved hundreds of jobs to China.

I mean, I guess that's popular if your the kind of Republican who watches "It's a Wonderful Life" and cheers for Mr. Potter.
 
The problem all the Republican candidates face is the Tea Party is the only strong voice in the Republican Party. Yet, the Tea Party is increasingly swimming against the tide of public opinion among most Americans. For a candidate to win the nomination, they need some support from the Tea Party but in the general election they need the support of the people which are not one and the same.

By next November, people will be so sick and tired of Obama that you could have the most foaming at the mouth Teabagger and he'd stand a pretty good chance of winning.

And honestly, who says they are? Most people I know agree with the basic principles of the TEA Party. We are Taxed too much, government is too intrusive and wastes too much money.

Even Obama is admitting that now, albeit with his fingers crossed behind his back.

Just like McCain had the best chance of winning. :uhoh3:

Of the guys who were in the field, yes he did. You can't vote for someone not on the ballot. Unfortunately, the GOP has a taint of intolerance and extremism about them. I can see why many don't want anything to do with being the figurehead of that party.
 

Yeah.

Chuck Todd of MSNBC has predicted by Spring the rise of a 3rd party. All signs point to Mr. Todd's prediction being correct.

I am surprised we haven't seen one already. Contempt for both parties is (rightfully) at historical highs....


So the question for the GOP establishment is, do you nominate a real conservative, where the third party has as much chance as stealing votes from Obama as your guy...

or do you nominate a squishy RINO with a weird religion most of your rank and file hate and make sure you lose for certain.

I think Most people want a government that is able to address the problems of the nation, not a small ineffective government whose motto is survival of fitness.
