Romney would have won against Obama. Remember, the dems called McCain “Glass Jaw.”

And I sure as hell would rather have Mitt running the show right now. No porkulus.

"Romney would have won against Obama."

Wrong.

"And I sure as hell would rather have Mitt running the show right now. No porkulus."

Porky would be TWICE as big with Slick Willard.

Romney would have won against Obama.

I disagree. I do not think ANY Republicrat (or even a Republican for that matter) would have beaten Obama in 2008. The last presidential election was the "perfect storm" of citizen dissatisfaction, new-voter ignorance/stupidity and ACORN antics.

Yea, and Hilliary won in the primaries against Obama.

Mitt couldn’t beat McCain for Gods sake.

You are absolutely right. The only reason many would have supported Romney is that he was the candidate mostly likely to beat Obama. It never occurred to me McCain could win - and surely most of the posters here never believe this.

I agree Romney would have been better than Obama. No comparison. Only a staunch Democrat/Socialist would think otherwise. We have Obama's fumbling, his tax-evading cabinet picks, and his outrageous treatment of Brown.

Then there is the questions of his birth certificate. He could easily put an end to the speculations. Why won't he?

Romney would not have won. His Hedge Fund past would have been the death knell for him after the bailouts. In fact, I don’t think any of the candidates could have won after Bush requested the bailouts and the Stock Market tanked.
