Ranking Republican leaders (WaPO rates Romney as #1)
WaPO ^ | February 26, 2010 | Chris Cillizza

Posted on 03/01/2010 4:38:24 PM PST by yongin

1. Mitt Romney: Romney gave a command performance at CPAC -- delivering a solid speech aimed at establishing himself as the de facto leader of the party and offering a detailed critique of the Obama Administration and its policies. And, his decision to put Matt Rhoades, communications director of his 2008 presidential bid, in charge of his Free and Strong America PAC was a savvy move that won him kudos among party insiders. Romney appears far more at ease in this race than he did in 2008; he knows who he is and what he can (and can't) do -- a very important quality in politics. (Previous ranking: 3)

Oh yeah, the LIBs are pushing another of their favorites as the one we must choose to run against 0bambi.

If Romney gets the nod, 0bambi will win a supermajority.

Romney appears far more at ease in this race than he did in 2008

Romney feels at ease because he knows he is the media's chosen candidate.

#2 Palin and #3 Barbour are good representatives for conservatism.

#1 Romney and #6 Brown are not conservatives and shouldn't be on "The List". Others have serious problems of their own.

Back to the drawing board, Chris Cillizza.

What’s interesting is that Huckabee fell off the WaPo’s top 10 list.

James Carville (DNC): "It's a feel-good story, this Romney thing. Romney is an ascendant guy."

“The Republican Establishment is the problem!!”

Poor Chris Cillizza, clueless lib that he is, thinks that a person can only win if he has the support of the Establishment. Wrong, Chrissie. Remember Reagan. He was hated by the Establishment throughout his campaigns and even after he won, he was held in disdain. The Establishment was forced to work with him and some of the revisionists have rewritten the history to make him a big tent Republican and the avuncular Reagan, when in fact he was a tough as nails conservative who wanted no “pale pastels.”

The writer reminds me of the NYT reporter who attend a Republican Convention, and called his boss stating, “You wouldn’t believe how many conservatives are here”.

I believe he’s pro-life, Scalia-type constructivist, pro-business, a defense hawk, and gifted with skills you are born with. I don’t believe you can govern a place like Mass. the same way you could Utah. I’m not as negative on Mitt as many others here are.

Someone needs to slap you hard across both cheeks. WAKE THE F UP!

He's a flaming gay-loving, gun-grabbing, culture of death-supporting, big-government-loving statist with a strange penchant for hair dye (leaving grey temples) who has never had a member of his family EVER serve in the military.

Damn, you Romney sycophants are dumb as a box of rocks.
