I'm from Michigan. I'm familiar with the Romneys. Dad was a RINO. Son doesn't fall far from the tree. He's flipped more times with his positions than John Kerry. Romneycare. Abortion flips. Gay flips. Strapped his dog in a cage on top of his car while going cross country. Gun grabber. Laid off a ton of people through Bain Capital. With jobs as the number one issue, Bain will be brought up over and over.
Besides all of that, he has trouble closing the sale. 08 was set up for him to win. He couldn't beat McCain. I think he is the least electable candidate against Obama too, including Palin.
I'll even vote Huntsman over Romney. I don't know who I'm backing. I'm considering Perry and Cain right now. I think Huntsman is the most electable, but I'm not sure I can pull that lever.
Romney is the ONLY candidate that will incite a Tea Party challenger on the ballot in most red states.
Then we’re back to 1992.
Dems will push Romney hard in open primary states.
For sure, if Huntsman does well in NH, it is likely those looking for “anyone but Romney” will coalesce behind him. He is way more electable, ethical, experienced, competent and conservative than Romney. Jon was a front runner early in my book.
