The Democrat candidate is going to be a senator.
Governors beat senators, every time.
Mitt is it!
IIRC, a dynamic Sen. Kennedy defeated an uninspiring Gov. Nixon in 1960. So much for "every time".
Now, Hillary can't claim JFK's aura, but many will feel similarly simply due to her gender (despite her devout Marixst principles). Obama's youth and more basic socially liberal ideas are far more reminiscent of JFK.
Governors Huckabee and Romney are at least as sleep-inducing as Nixon was, and millions will not vote for them simply because of religious concerns.
But that was 48 years ago. I'm sure we're a much wiser and less telegenics-centered culture by now.
/ do I really need to put the tag?>
I think it will be Clinton vs Romney... and I hope Romney will win in that case... but I won't be voting for him. I'm not the GOPs slave anymore. We gave them 6 years with all three houses, and we got hosed and told to elect more GOP pols. Well, the base got sick of it and stayed home, and the GOP lost Congress as a result... and yet now we're getting 4 more RINO's as our potential candidates. The Stupid Party stays true to their name. Why stay, when there are decent men to write in, and decent third parties (like the Constitution Party) to support?
