He'll find a way.
Sadly, you may be right; I bet that two years out from the 2008 election, John McCain was just as unpopular as Romney is now according to this poll. I didn't in my wildest nightmares think that McCain would win the primary, and I'll bet I wasn't alone in that thinking.
Yet he did. But on the bright side, we did get Palin out of it. There is a God and I pray to Him for a miracle that will vanquish Barack Obama and restore to the United States free markets, Judeo-Christian values, and liberty the way our Founders intended. In Jesus' name, Amen!
