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

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)

Haley Barbour a leader? Come on! If this is the list of leaders, then Sarah Palin is Gulliver in the midst of the lilliputians. Aside from Palin, who is a collossus in terms of her ability to lead and inspire when measured even in absolute terms, the other nine look undocumented aliens from Munchkin land in comparison to her.

As usual - YES!!!

Certainly the top RNC folk love to hug up to the candidate that the media smile upon.(The media "smile upon folk whose values are out-of-kilter with conservative values, nod quietly to abortion and refer to it as "choice" and believe that "people deserve privacy and respect for their sexuality" which conservatives view as abhorrent, child molesting and marriage mockery)

They continue to lose big elections (RNC) but they are never afraid to hug a RINO to please either the meida/dims or liberals, while claiming that "moderates win elections."

They also despise the "tea partiers" for their "extremism and radicalism," read common sense conservatism, patriotism, and morality.

"The beginning of the media choosing our candidate? "

Why not?? After all, they gave us McPain.

You can easily determine the GOP candidate most likely to lose by the amount of print the wag dog media give them.

We will see the dregs of RINOdom like Shmuckabee, McPain, and Rummey get lots of mention as our strongest candidate.

Finally, a realist. Thank you. I am tired of all the short-sighted, and often rather knee-jerk, Romney-bashing.

Carville thinks Romney is a great story lol.

Yeah, the Dems would love to have a guy that will take a top issue loser off the table for them.

MittCare is the anchor that will make it impossible for Romney to defeat Obama. If he tries to attack Obamacare he’ll be seen as a typical hypocritical politician.

Romney can’t win. I will not vote for him.

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

Maybe, but a few hundred media dildoes won't make a dent in the primaries. Mitt's fifteen minutes has expired. He's done. All the kings horses and all the Kings men won't put this pumpkin back together again.

I believe he’s pro-life, Scalia-type constructivist, pro-business, a defense hawk, and gifted with skills you are born with.

Except he was pro-abort in 1994 and 2002. I don't trust a guy whose 'core' views change for whatever office he is seeking.
