Romney vs Mitch Daniels in 2012? (Vanity Discussion)
Me | 07/03/09 | Me

Posted on 07/03/2009 2:12:24 PM PDT by GOPGuide

Sanford has committed sepuku on live TV.

Ensign has discovered what goes on in Vegas does not always stay in Vegas.

Palin is retiring from politics.

Haley Barbour is a former lobbyist who runs the poorest state in the Union.

Huckabee is a 5th stringer.

John Thune is running for Vice President and we have no idea whether General Petraeus is a conservative or not.

It looks like the only guy who can stop the Mitt Machine is Daniels.

If you don't like Daniels, then Romney is the nominee by default in 2012.

No to Romney and Newt. Repubs can do better. To win, they need fire in the belly and an appeal to Independents.

Agreed. Romney is a weasel, and so is Gingrich. I don’t even know who Daniels is, and I think I keep on politics fairly well.

I like DeMint. Also, Rep. Issa of CA. Let’s hope neither of them is carrying on any affairs!

Please, no Jeb Bush! I’ve had enough of family dynasties.

I guess Romney’s four husky sons will be available to campaign with him, since none of them will be deployed anywhere (just like Dad...and Grandpa in their time).

That is FIVE military age sons and it is a lot more than them, Mitt and Grandpa. No Romney man has ever served the United States in uniform in our entire history.

The punditry is all but giving Romney the nomination. This is not yet assured of course, but it is now a larger possibility. Last year, when the nomination came down to McCain or Romney, many were wishing that there was a viable third party, but it was too late. I regretfully think that now might be a time to start the wheels in motion for a POSSIBLE third party.

I would not count out Sarah Palin, should she decide to run.

If she doesn't, what about Gary Johnson, former governor of New Mexico? Here is what Wikipedia says about him:

Under Johnson's administration, New Mexico experienced the longest period without a tax increase in the state's history, the rate of growth in the state government was cut in half, half of the state's prisons were privatized, state Medicaid was shifted to managed care, and the state was left with approximately 1,000 fewer employees (with no firings) and a budget surplus.[9] Johnson vetoed 750 bills (which was more than all the vetoes of the other 49 Governors in the country at that time, combined), which earned him the nickname Gary "Veto" Johnson.[10]
Someone with the nickname of "Veto" sounds very good to me. And after four years of Obama, it is going to sound even better.

As far as I know, DeMint is the only one who’s spoken out in favor of the rule of Honduran law since the impeachment of Zelaya.

Wrong..Palin has resigned to attack the left and ultimately run for president in 2012.

Don't pull that Romney crap around here.

I prefered Romney over McCain but that was before I saw the behavior of the people in the Romney camp. There is no way in hell I’ll vote for Romney. Voting for McCain was above and beyond for me and Romney is well beyond that now.

I like Barbour the best on that list. Daniels I'll consider.

One other name I'll throw in. Mike Pence.

Huckabee gives every indication that he thinks of himself as God's favorite son candidate. He likely thinks all the religious conservative voters will now run to him.

But the truth is, outside the confines of his own high self-regard, he is not a serious candidate for 2012.

I love Gary Johnson

Social conservatives will HATE HIM though. Which means I will support the guy even more

Johnson understands liberty and freedom and is a first class individual.

Romney's main deficiency, the stigma of rinoism, can only be overcome by becoming the figure who morally destroys Obama.

Romney's problem isn't his "rinoism." His problem is worse. He's a slickster chameleon. He couldn't break 50% in his birthstate's primary, which was one of his few wins, and that was when McCain blew it with his "jobs aren't coming back" talk.

Well I voted for Romney in the primaries last time... wont make that mistake again. He simply can’t win and is “more of the same” from the GOP.

I dsiagree completely. She stated her intentions to support other candidates and the national picture in her statement.

Time will tell...but I believe she is in and she has my support.
