Lists are fun but not much else.

The election in 2012 will turn not on who is the Republican candidate but on how much Obama is hated.

Never look to the Washington COMpost to rank Republicans. Five of these listed aren’t even conservative.

It’s really too bad Romney did the Romneycare - and worse that he won’t say “I was wrong.”

There is an important difference with Romneycare that will elude most people looking at the comparison with Obamacare. According to the 9th Amendment, any state can put in any medical system it chooses. So, at least it is constitutional, unlike Obamacare. And when a Romneycare is shown shortly not to work - as is happening in Mass - at least a state can abandon it as a failed experiment. Once you apply it to the whole nation - which is NOT constitutional (but few seem to understand why, or care) - you’re cooked.

At least Romney has business experience, unlike any Democrat anywhere near the current administration. At least he’d understand how business works. Business plus governor. More than any candidate in the list.

How about Mitch Daniels? He wasn’t on there and he is an interesting person to watch.

That is true. The gov was set up in such a way that the states can experiment.

Christie is really off to a great start. Too bad most Freepers disagree and all I saw on this forum when he was running was RINO RINO RINO.
