The United States of America's next president won't be its first president of Italian ancestry (as Rudy Giuliani hopes), because the Republicans won't nominate a person who does not share the Republicans' traditional pro-life, pro-personal morality values; or the first former prisoner-of-war (as John McCain still yearns), because now he's too old for the grueling job and previously he was too inclined to break with most Republicans and join with Democrats (McCain-Feingold, Kennedy-McCain, Gang of Fourteen); or the first Baptist minister (as Mike Huckabee prays), because he's not up to the job, he's not the best choice and one president born in Hope, Arkansas was one too many.
But there WILL be big change.
The next president will be the first female president, or the first half-black president (Barack's mother was white and ignoring that is...not right), or the first Mormon president.
Much of the media really would prefer Obama versus McCain, and have been broadcasting, reporting and editorializing accordingly, but the politically adept Clintons will do whatever it takes to win the Democrat nomination.
Nevertheless, in the end, enough Republicans will refuse to succumb to religious bigotry and reject a monogamous Mormon who shares their basic values for a man who divorced his first wife and married a rich, much younger divorcee whose family could support his political ambitions.
Wikipedia: "In 1979, while attending a military reception in Hawaii, McCain met and fell in love with Cindy Lou Hensley, 17 years his junior, a teacher from Phoenix, Arizona who was the daughter of James Willis Hensley, a wealthy Anheuser-Busch distributor and wife Marguerite Smith. By now it was clear that McCain's naval career was stalled; he would never be promoted to admiral as his grandfather and father had been. McCain filed for and obtained an uncontested divorce from his wife Carol in Florida on April 2, 1980; he gave her a generous settlement, including houses in Virginia and Florida and financial support for her ongoing medical treatments, and they would remain on good terms. McCain and Hensley were married on May 17, 1980 in Phoenix, Arizona, with Senators William Cohen and Gary Hart as best man and groomsman. McCain's children were very upset with him and did not attend the wedding, but after several years they reconciled with him and Cindy."
"Living in Phoenix, McCain went to work for his new father-in-law Jim Hensley's large Anheuser-Busch beer distributorship as Vice President of Public Relations, where he gained political support among the local business community, meeting powerful figures such as banker Charles Keating, Jr. ..., all the while looking for an electoral opportunity."
No surprise that the divorced McCain paid tribute to the twice-divorced Giuliani during the Republicans' Florida debate!
It will be Hill v. Mitt, and then Mitt, even though the Clintons will place the Mormon card.
Make no mistake: Team Clinton will not be stopped by a young son of a black man and a white woman who started running for President a year after becoming a rookie Senator and speaks of hope and change without particulars.
Barack Obama's wife Michelle, young and naive herself, admitted that her husband is too inexperienced and naive to be President.
Michelle (in a fundraising appeal to supporters): "We knew getting into this race that Barack would be competing with Senator Clinton and President Clinton at the same time. What we didn't expect, at least not from our fellow Democrats, are the win-at-all costs tactics we've seen recently. We didn't expect misleading accusations that willfully distort Barack's record."
Weren't the Obamas paying attention during the Clinton Administration?
The United States surely needs a competent and realistic president, like Mitt.
The media has generated excitement, but it has not and will not succeed in blocking a Mitt v. Hill final.
In February 2007, in an article titled "In 2008, Hill versus Mitt Should Be It," I wrote:
"The top two questions are (1) who will be the Democrat nominee and (2) who will be the Republican nominee.
The answers (as of now): (1) Hillary and (2) Mitt Romney."
"After the Democrats successfully nominated Franklin Delano Roosevelt for president four times, the United States Constitution was amended to impose a two-term limit.
"The Clintons figured out the best way around that was to team up and each serve two terms. As they declared in 2000, they are a two-for-one package."
"The 2008 Democrat presidential nomination is Hillary's to lose and she's not likely to do so.
"Barack Hussein Obama is the current media darling, but the rookie Senator from Illinois is no Abraham Lincoln and not presidential timber."
"Of the top-tier Republican presidential aspirants--Rudy Giuliani, John McCain, Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney--Mitt Romney is the best viable alternative."
"Senator McCain has been pro-life, but he had his chance in 2000 and he has not matched the political skills of Mitt Romney in enacting a viable universal health-care program in Massachusetts."
"Who better to oppose Hill: Mitt Romney, 59, a Brigham Young valedictorian who earned his B.A. summa cum laude and then graduated from a joint JD/MBA program coordinated between Harvard Law School and Harvard Business School, was named a Baker Scholar and graduated cum laude from the law school and in the top 5 percent of his business school class, or John McCain, 70, who graduated fifth from the bottom of his United States Naval Academy class and isn't getting younger?"
In May 2007, in "Still Hill v. Mitt, Others Slow to Quit," I noted:
"This year's first Democrat presidential debate helped Hillary Clinton secure her stranglehold on the 2008 Democrat presidential nomination. Her Far Left "primary" competitors--a rookie United States Senator who would do better running for rock star (Barack Obama) and a one-term Senator whose home state went Republican when he was his party's vice presidential candidate in 2004--allow her to position herself for the general election by seeming mature and moderate."
"This year's first Republican presidential debate allowed Mitt Romney to be presidential while his chief rivals--John McCain and Rudy Giuliani--were trying too hard, respectively, to be young and energetic enough for the job and to be content whether Roe v. Wade is overruled or reaffirmed."
"Rudy said during the second debate that 'Rudy McRomney' would be a good candidate."
"But Mitt is the only one of the three without a big flaw."
"What is especially noteworthy is that viewers called the debate for Mitt, while knowledgeable observers tended to put too much emphasize on Rudy's moment (courtesy of Congressman Ron Paul) and too little of Mitt's thoughtful responses and consistent (and reassuring) presidential demeanor."
The Republicans' Florida debate demonstrated that the strong winner, Mitt Romney, has developed Mittmentum and is on course to election in November, despite the Clintons and some religious bigotry.
Newt should endorse Mitt
“But Mitt is the only one of the three without a big flaw.”
If you really believe that I have some bridges for sale you’ll like.
How about this for a flaw - Mitt Romney is no conservative and seems to shift his positions like the wind blows.
Recently Romney said he “didn’t line up with the NRA.” But when he decided to run for president, Romney signed up for a lifetime membership in the National Rifle Association.
I’ve been a Life NRA Member for years.
What disappoints me the most about Mitt Romney is he appears to be a slick opportunist. To become a Life NRA Member when you decide to run for President, for the sake of pure political expediency is quite frankly disgusting.
This shifting of political positions (gay marriage, gun control, murder through abortion) demonstrates a foundation of quicksand instead of solid bedrock. This is by a man now in his 60’s, not some kid in their early 20’s. We don’t need a President who is trying to decide which side of major moral issues are right and just - the Holy Bible provides a sure foundation on moral issues that is solid and never to be compromised.
I’m not a McCain supporter (Fred was my guy), but I will not vote for Mr. Romney.

If liberal phony Mitt Romney is the Republican nominee, turn out the lights, the Party's over...
Yeah--remember all the business about John Kerry and marrying heiresses? I loved Ann's "Just a Gigolo."
But McVain didn't just dump a loyal wife and mother of his kids for someone much younger--she was also much richer. Her daddy owned a booze distributorship, and wanted to buy Princess a Prince. So he bankrolled McVain's political aspirations (after it looked as if he'd get nowhere in the Navy.)
Gigolo John McCain. But you won't see it in the MSM until the day after he gets the nom.
Little early to be proclaiming that Mitt is going to take the nomination.
Those allegations will not work against McCain.

Just the ridicule factor will devastate. Daddy Boozebucks buys Prince for Princess...
Well, I’m sure he got to see Reagan’s victory, he just had a balcony view. ;-)
A bribed endorser.
Of course. It would be a nightmare, and the death of the national GOP.
What are you gonna do when your Precious Willard loses ?
Nope, but it would be an honor to be married to one of the two smartest and sanest women in this thread, Nana and Nic. :-)
I'll preface this by saying I'm not a fan of McCain and I have many problems with him, but I know Romney, and that sleaze would shoot me in the back and write a check to the VC if it would save his hide.
Thank you for the compliment
You are one of the conservadudes of distinction in these threads...
Trustworthiness is attractive and of great value...
The appearance and condition of one’s skin rapidly deteriates over time, but integrity and character last a lifetime..
Thank you and you’re welcome. :-)
Yes, indeed, you cannot buy integrity and character with all the money in the world. You could be the poorest person on earth and possess both and be the richest and possess neither.
It’s unfortunate that some of those folks that have the prettiest outer packages are the ones that are often the most lacking on the inside. :-\
Thank you for your kind remarks, DJ. It’s truly telling how character that counts is revealed on these kinds of threads. You are one man who has consistently shown, both within yourself, as well as how much you demand of and expect from those who would seek to lead this country, those traits which any conservative should value: honesty, integrity, loyalty, courage, and commitment. Of the 20 or so possible character traits, it is the foregoing 5 traits which define the person and reveal who someone is on the “inside.”
Unlike you, Romney has real problems in these areas, as does, it seems, a great many of his supporters.
Thank you, too, for your kind words. :-)
“Nope, but it would be an honor to be married to one of the two smartest and sanest women in this thread, Nana and Nic. :-)”
Ok, that tells me everything I need to know about you. :-)
