WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — President Romney. How does that sound?
Better than President Gingrich, President Pawlenty or even President Palin? You betcha. Why? Because for all his flip-flopping and lack of charisma, Mitt Romney is a serious person — an “adult” in today’s political parlance — with a real track record of accomplishment.
This week, Romney actually showed what any serious Republican hopeful in the 2012 presidential election campaign needs to show: the beginnings of a backbone.
It looks like Romney may have flipped his last flop on what is supposed to be the bane of his existence, the statewide health-care plan he signed into law when he was governor of Massachusetts.
In an interview with the Boston Globe, Romney refused to back down or recant, even though many members of the Republican Party now regard government-mandated health care as the devil’s own work.
“I’m proud of the fact we took on a real tough problem and moved the ball forward,’’ Romney told the Globe. “I know this is going to get a lot of conversation, but the health of the people in Massachusetts is more important to me than the health of my political prospects.’’

Romney is bob dole with better hair.
Yeah. So I can have Obama, or Obama-lite. Some choice!
Romney 2012 = Dems retake the House in 2014 and Obamacare is here to stay.
Bwahahahahahaha ... LOL
President Romney. How does that sound?
While it does sound a little better than “President Obama” (which I still CANNOT even say), it does induce the dry heaves, just like “President McCain.”
Why do I get the feeling a candidate is being forced upon us the way McCain was? I still do not believe McCain actually won the primaries.
Mitt Romney won’t be on the ballot. WILLARD Romney will be. Prepare the movie posters.
You’ve hit the nail on the head with that one! LOL
Run Sarah run! (and drive the libtard media nuts--LOL!)
Right - for a BB gun.
We’re lookin’ for some big guns with real firepower. Muskatoons even!
Darrell Delamaide... you are a lying pos propagandist and your momma wears army boots... b!tch!
LLS
He’s...okay. I think we’re going to need better than...okay...to win next year.
The dems would love Romney as the GOP nominee.
FUMR!!
McCain was the last straw for me and the Gutless Old Pretenders’ crappy make-believe conservatives. I will never cast another vote that leaves me feeling dirty and used.
President Romney? Mitt is GOP’s best shot

Palin, oh dear a woman
Cain, oh dear a black man
Bachman oh dear another woman
West, oh dear another black man
What an embarassment for Mitty when he is beaten by someone from a group his religion doesnt enforse
a woman or a black man
Utter rubbish. I think once the Republicans field a candidate for the general election, Obama will have a very difficult time on the campaign trail no matter who runs against him.
