It doesn’t matter. Nixon had more popular appeal than does Mitt. People don’t get him. He couldn’t buy his way in a weak field.
He’s done. Toast. Another old white guy in a suit. A stiff Republican.
Yeah, that will get American enthused. Not.
Governor Romney is the person we need in the whitehouse NOW! And we'll need him even more in 2012.
I would be shocked if Mitt even seriously ran in 2012. I doubt he would get any more support than he was able to garner in 2008.
If we weren’t in such ideological times, I think he would have been a competent President, rather than the incompetent one we have now.
There is a line we are eventually going to have to live with, or else we will never win any elections. A majority of this country is not solid conservative. A majority is not strongly fundamentalist christian, or strongly fiscal conservative, or strongly anything we want.
We have a solid minority for most of the conservative philosophy, and could bring over a majority of people who aren’t sure if we could articulate the vision.
