With the economy sputtering, Democratic political operatives view former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney as the main Republican threat to President Obama's reelection, according to this week's National Journal Political Insiders Poll.
Democratic Insiders see Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who has not yet declared whether or not he will run for president, as the second strongest against Obama. A separate poll of Republican insiders, released Thursday, also showed Perry as Romney's main GOP challenger.

Any Republican can beat him now. All we have to do is pick the one we want, not the one the Rino’s want.

These aren’t the same morons who saw Juan McCainista as Barry’s “main threat” in 2008 are they? If these morons see Romney as Barry’s “main threat”, why are they pounding the hell out of Palin and Bachmann and their families? Isn’t that a waste of ammo?
