Romney spent 40-million of his own money last time and couldn’t get the nomination. So, the Republicans go with HIM as the default now??? Yuk

Because the elite, both Demorats and Republicans, feel he won’t cut off their gravy train or make any substantial changes in the status quo.

This is the reason elites of both parties hate Sara Palin so much.

It's his turn. He ran before so that grants him some immunity with the press in the primary process.

Romney is safe only because he's run before and is not controversial except for the base. He's inoffensive. He's establishment.

I have no reason to believe he can provide the leadership needed.

why Pawlenty did not run for re-election.

Pawlenty did serve two terms as governor. He could've run again, but why? He decided to run for POTUS when his second term ended in Jan.

Tired of “safe” “electable” Rino’s! One word McCain! If Romeny is the Republican standard bearer then Conservatives lose either way

I’m glad you brought this out, and I wish there were more threads exposing Romney’s weaknesses, and liberalism.

There are more threads criticizing Perry, than there are about Romney, and Romney is worse. I’m not a Perry supporter, either, but we need the focus more on getting Romney out of the race, imo.
