Analysis of 2012 GOP Contenders Says Mitt Romney is "the Big Gun" - Video 1/29/10

Here is a video report assessing who might run in 2012 for the GOP Nomination for President.

The report has analyst Teddy Davis saying Mitt Romney is "the big gun" because he has money and name recognition, and the GOP has a history of choosing "second-time candidates." Romney has been campaigning for other Republicans around the country and built a lot of good will. Davis says "Romney is considered the front-runner. Sarah Palin is the big question mark, as to whether she will run or not. The downside for Palin that Davis pointed out is that "3 out of 5 Americans say she is not qualified to be President."

Newly-elected GOP Sen. Scott Brown is unlikely to run, even though he has become an overnight star with his win in Massachusetts. Davis points out that Brown is not pro-Life, which would hurt him in GOP primaries. . . . (VIDEO)

You are right. Sarah Palin is leading in most polls about who Republicans would prefer. This analyst seemed to be looking at Romney’s money, organization, and the history of Republicans giving it to a second-time candidate.

But Sarah Palin could fit the “second-time” bill from the standpoint that she was the VP candidate of the party and if she runs for President, could make the case that it is “her turn.”

The video is a pretty good analysis of where the Republican party is today...interestingly, Huckabee is not mentioned at all. The question will be, who will be the Conservative candidate for the primaries to counter Romney? ... magritte

Watch the old boys try and stuff Mitt up the Gop’s keester.

Big gun.

No.

Big Dud.

[Jim Robinson]

Romney is a flip flopping liar or another way of stating it, he is a two-faced, two-bit, lying political whore.

But he still brags about his crowning achievement. The anti-liberty, un-American, socialist RomneyCare system he created and rammed through in Massachusetts.

He’s a statist. I’ll never support that bastard.

And if he gets anywhere close to the nomination, FR will go full time into active anti-statist, anti-Romney mode.

We will be actively campaigning hard against him!!

FUMR!!

I want Fred too but alas, I’m afraid Fred doesn’t wanna play.

THANK YOU CYBERANT

you took the words out of my mouth.

Palin 2012...but should God have other plans for her, IT IS *ANYONE-BUT-ROMNEY* 2012. And if she isn't a candidate, I am sure Palin will use her influence to make sure of that and put all her energies getting behind a NON-Romney.

Romney - Backstabber of Sen. Thompson.

Novak: "Fred Thompson drop-out rumors traced to Romney campaign"

Said Novak: "The rumors were traced in part to Mitt Romney's campaign,
trying to stir up strife between McCain and Thompson."

"Despite outspending his rivals by huge margins throughout the primaries,
(Mitt Romney, Carpetbagger UT,CA,MA,NH,Mexico) lost Iowa, South Carolina, Florida and California.
The only primaries he won were in Michigan, where Dad was governor; LDS states;
and a few states on Super Tuesday in which his California-obsessed rivals
couldn't spare the cash to advertise.
Only John Connolly in 1968 had a worse cash-to-delegates ratio.
And John McCain rightly did not like Romney's tactics during the primaries.
(W)hen (Romney's early leads) started slipping away, he resorted to unfair,
distorted, scorched-earth negative ads, betting that his opponents couldn't
afford to spend enough for the truth to catch up to his charges."
[Romney: A Mistake for McCain, 7/23/2008, Dick Morris]

[Federalist Patriot]

That is totally true. I helped some with a blog for Fred Thompson, and it was almost a daily thing for the Romney people to put out rumors and attacks on Fred Thompson. Conservatives unfortunately divided their vote between Fred, Romney, and Huckabee which allowed McCain to get the nomination. We need someone who can pull the conservative vote together and make sure we have a true, strong conservative to oppose Obama.

Sarah Palin could make a good VP but they would have to give her more power over the Senate. The Senate is out of control and many of them are nothing more than common criminals using the Senate to hide from the law.
I'm still waiting for someone to bring into question, just how legal are those that sit in our government today.
The Constitution calls for the removal of the corruption in our government and if they don't call for their removal than they must step down as well. They take an oath of office and not one is upholding their oath. So if they don't abide by the constitution than they can't remain in office.
Listen to Beck as usual and he has pointed out were the RAT party calls themselves progressives. Obozo didn't mention the Demorat party but he only mentions two parties the progressive and the Republicans. They can't call themselves communist because that word is to well recognized as evil so they are they Progressives. I must say it went over my head for the longest time.
What we need are People Like Glen Beck in the Senate and in the Oval office.
Obozo calls for a freeze on spending but not on his spending. We need to flood the Senators with calls and e mails calling for the freeze on all money going to Czars,Acorn, and the SEIU.
The only way to stop these thugs, bring them down one by one, start convicting them and putting them in jail were they belong. We need to pull the foundation right out from under them, brick by brick, starting with Barney Frank, CHILD PROSTITUTION and go after each and everyone of them that are involved in the meltdown of this country.
I would like for someone to bring Bob Rubin in for investigation and his secret deals with the IMF, I think Rubin really got the ball rolling, the Clintons wanted to bankrupt the country but couldn't because of a Republican congress.
How long do we have to wait before the American people will say ENOUGH, time for IMPEACHMENT of Obozo and his administration. I honestly believe what is going on is and ACT OF TREASON but since the time of the Clintons nobody knows what legal or illegal, nobody knows the meaning of TREASON, everything is determined by what IS, IS.

[Federalist Patriot]

Let’s hope it won’t be necessary. But if it is, you will have lots of help, and Romney has left behind lots of ammunition from when he ran as a liberal to use against him.

[Vigilanteman]

Don’t you think “The Massachussets model for health care will bankrupt the country more slowly than ObamaCare!” would be the perfect winning slogan? < / do I really need a sarcasm tag here? >

[rebapiper]

If McCain would have done the honorable thing and dropped out of the Presidential race Romney would be President I thing. McCain hurt all the candidates, I honestly believe McCain din’t expect Palin to take the country by storm. The harder she tried the more McCain backed off. McCain was in bed with the DEVIL, the Progressives, he stay in the race for the sole purpose of getting obozo elected. I honestly believe that. To this day the McCains do not defend her, they should have been on every talk show defending Palin but they seem to snub their noses instead.

[Gator113]

Nothing has changed.

If Palin runs, she WILL win.

If Palin decides not to run, then I have no candidate.

I have NEVER been a ‘sit it out’ voter, but I refuse to support any candidate that’s been hand picked for us by the traitor media. They are doing their best to saddle us with Romney or Huckabee... I will vote for neither.

A second term with Obama is a nightmare that will bring our country to it’s knees, that is, if he isn’t successful at accomplishing that goal prior to 2012.

Palin remains our best bet, period. Unfortunately, she hasn’t convinced me that she is truly going to run. If she doesn’t, then thank God for the Second Amendment and may God help us all.

Palin 2012, nothing else will do.

[rebapiper]

Romney needs to be Secry.of Treasury, if he can stand up against these thugs and expose them once he gets his hands on the many sets of US Treasury books perhaps many of them will go to jail and we could get this country back on track.
It will take a real hero to stand up to the Progressives, the RAT party.

[rebapiper]

Mike Huckabee was out to stop Romney and he did. I really can't make up my mind about Huckabee, there is something that just doesn't seem right. He refused to step aside when he knew this country was in danger is the Progressive RATS got the white house.

"The report has analyst Teddy Davis saying Mitt Romney is "the big gun""

Who's Teddy Davis?

[Diogenesis]

Problem is that Romney is a proven bad governor.
Why would you like him?

While 8 million Americans over age 16 found work between 2002 and 2006, the number of employed Massachusetts residents actually declined by 8,500 during those years.
"Massachusetts was the only state to have failed to post any gain in its pool of employed residents," professors Sum and McLaughlin concluded.
In an April 2003 meeting with the Massachusetts congressional delegation in Washington, Romney failed to endorse President Bush's $726 billion tax-cut proposal."
