“If Thompson is strong enough to suck the life out of McCain, he’ll do the same to Romney, perhaps even more so.”
How? maybe because his personality and character are so appealing, etc.. I don’t know if you are being sarcastic but I suspect you are.
Put them both side by side any day and I have a pretty good idea of who people will find most appealing. Especially the soccer moms who seem to be the ones deciding elections these days.
The fact that has been overlooked here is the small matter of Money. Romney and to a lesser extent Rudy have built a warchest of tens of millions and are out there raising more and more every day. It’s no coincidence that Romney is beginning to rise in the polls just now when he is starting to spend some of that money in targeted ads. Fred hasn’t raised a dime and has been out of the fundraising circuit for years... I think once he gets in the race we will all be in for a lesson in realism about electoral politics in America.

Pay no attention to the Mitterites. They’re shaking in their boots about now because there’s no question anymore that Fred’s in.
Mitt can’t carry his own state(nor his recently adopted one) in the general election. That, as algore can attest to is a serious handicap.
Mitt should be sending feelers out about his next gig after his campaign fizzles out and dies. Maybe he can flip-flop back to a pro-abort “moderate” in time for the next MA senatorial election.
A New England RINO won’t get nominated by the Republican party. An authentic conservative will.
Willard Romney is better suited as a game show host.
IMHO, Fred.
