If the Libs like Mitt, all they have to do is convince ObaMao to step down and run him.

I suspect they don't like him any more than they liked Juan McCain. They just see him as the easiest candidate to promote at the moment to give Zer0 a fighting chance to win.

WHY ROMNEY WILL NOT WIN THE NOMINATION OR BE PRESIDENT:

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormons) is the 4th Largest religious group in America.

There are 13 million Mormons world-wide; about the same number as there are Jews.

5.5 million are in the U.S.; equal to the number of Muslims.

1.5 million are in Utah leaving 4 million spread around the rest of the nation. That’s not enough to pull him through to victory in the GOP nomination process or make a difference in the General Election.

If he is nominated, his religion will sabotage his campaign. One cable news network has already had a “Man on the Street” interview asking people: “Would you want a President who believes that he will have his own planet in eternity?” He would lose the General Election for sure.

Is Jim DeMint still for Romney?

[wolfpat]

A Romney nomination will guarantee a second Obama term. We have no idea what Romney’s real beliefs are. Many conservatives, I included, will not vote for Romney in any election.

[Sun]

People seem to vote for name recognition. Wish I knew what we can do to change that.

[ken21]

i’m not voting for romney,

no matter what the liberal-rino progressives media say.

[peyton randolph]

RINO Romney should run for the Kolob presidency.

[Luke21]

Spot on. Romney is a New England betrayer like the Maine sisters. Any election with him as GOP nominee has the same predictable line as the last one.

[4everontheRight]

Romney for some odd reason has by husband fooled....I think it is the “hey, he made money out of the Olympics” mentality. The poor man is delusional and that could pertain to either of the aforementioned.
I have argued with this misinformed man till I am blue state in the face! I suspect if this nonsense of his support of Romney continues, I will have to vacate the property.
As a side bar, I am a Perry supporter if he gets in. If not its Bachmann or Santorum for me!
Can anyone explain the “Romney effect” to me...perhaps if I understand the condition I can help sure it.

[SERKIT]

The Dems and media has already selected Mittens as the Repub nominee. They always select the candidate for us. Nothing to see here, move along.

In a Crisis Era, mushy moderates on either side do not win elections. Leaders in a Crisis Era must have a clear, uncompromising vision for the future, based on sound principles and values, and be able to articulate this to a majority of the voters. This is what Sarah Palin has been doing in her two books, two hundred or so articles, and a hundred or so speeches. In these, Palin has addressed every major issue facing the nation and the world.

During other eras in history, a policy-wonk type of figurehead can successfully preside over the processes that are necessary to keep a country running, because the relatively minor ups and downs are not drastically changing the overall direction of the nation.

Look at all the success Republicans had running Progressive Liberal Republicans against FDR in 1932, 1936, 1940, and 1944.

Not a single one of these people could articulate a Constitutional conservative vision for the USA, and none of them even tried.

All four of them were slightly less socialist than FDR, and differed from FDR only on their pro-business angle (exactly like the RINOs of today).

And they all lost to the second worst communist president the USA ever had.

1932 Election
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_Hoover

Herbert Hoover was a professional mining engineer and author. As the United States Secretary of Commerce in the 1920s under Presidents Warren G. Harding and Calvin Coolidge, he promoted government intervention under the rubric "economic modernization". In the presidential election of 1928, Hoover easily won the Republican nomination, despite having no previous elected office experience. To date, Hoover is the last cabinet secretary to be directly elected President of the United States, as well as one of only two Presidents (along with William Howard Taft) to have been elected President without electoral experience or high military rank. America was prosperous and optimistic at the time, leading to a landslide victory for Hoover over Democrat Al Smith.

Hoover, a trained engineer, deeply believed in the Efficiency Movement, which held that government and the economy were riddled with inefficiency and waste, and could be improved by experts who could identify the problems and solve them. When the Wall Street Crash of 1929 struck less than eight months after he took office, Hoover tried to combat the ensuing Great Depression with volunteer efforts, none of which produced economic recovery during his term.

The consensus among historians is that Hoover's defeat in the 1932 election was caused primarily by failure to end the downward economic spiral. As a result of these factors, Hoover is ranked poorly among former US Presidents.

1936 Election
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alf_Landon

Alfred "Alf" Mossman Landon - supported Theodore Roosevelt's Progressive Party in 1912, and, in 1922, was private secretary to the governor of Kansas. He later became known as the leader of the liberal Republicans in the state. He was elected chairman of the Republican state central committee in 1928 and directed the Republican successful presidential and gubernatorial campaigns in Kansas in that year.

Landon was elected Governor of Kansas in 1932. He was re-elected governor in 1934 – the only Republican governor in the nation to be re-elected that year. He served as governor from 1933 until 1937. As Governor, Landon gained a reputation for reducing taxes and balancing the budget. Landon is often described as a fiscal conservative who nevertheless believed that government must also address social issues. He supported parts of the New Deal but opposed labor unions.

1940 Election
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wendell_Willkie

Wendell Lewis Willkie ran against FDR in 1940 - a corporate lawyer and dark horse Republican Party nominee for the 1940 presidential election. A member of the liberal wing of the GOP, he crusaded against those domestic policies of the New Deal which he thought were inefficient and anti-business. Willkie, however, waffled on the bitterly debated issue of intervention in or isolation from World War II. His opponent Franklin D. Roosevelt won that election, with 55% of the popular vote and 85% of the electoral vote.

1944 Election
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_E._Dewey

Thomas Edmund Dewey ran against FDR in 1944 - led the liberal faction of the Republican Party, in which he fought conservative Ohio Senator Robert A. Taft. Dewey advocated for the professional and business community of the Northeastern United States, which would later be called the "Eastern Establishment." This organization accepted the majority of New Deal social-welfare reforms enacted during the administration of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. It consisted of internationalists who were in favor of the United Nations and the "Cold War" fought against communism and the Soviet Union.

1948 Election
Dewey lost to Truman again, after an overnight squeaker, during which some prominent newspapers erroneously pronounced Dewey the winner.
