It will be the epitome of stupidity to have a member of a racist church running against a black man, as we have been saying since '07. Do you think the wail of "we stopped that racism in 1978" is gonna be a winner? FAIL
Has the John Derbyshire flap completely escaped your notice? It is currently in Breaking News. What about Trayvon?
With all due respect, he’s mopped the floor with all his opponents so far.
Look I dislike Romney. I believe he’s the reason Obama is in office right now.
I think he’s manipulative. I believe he right away in 2008, after ending that campaign, immediately sensed Sarah Palin was an existential threat to his plan to run again this year - and for that reason only - sent his operatives to undermine Palin, and so doing cost the GOP the election.
That in my mind was reprehensible, and it does seem to this poster to have been what happened. Others may disagree.
However there’s not much doubt at this point, Romney’s ruthlessly competitive. Machiavellian. I believe he can indeed beat Obama.
I don’t like him, but I’m starting to respect him just for being so efficiently ruthless.
Frankly, the GOP needs a bit of ruthless for a change.
I will once again say honestly I’m not on this board to praise Romney, except to the extent he opposes Obama.
Which he’s now doing. So I’m stuck with him.
He’s an SOB, but if he’s the GOP’s SOB I really have no other stand to make.
I’m going with Obama’s opponent. That simple.
And yes, he clearly can win.
