Romney is a joke, and not a particularly good one at that. He's going nowhere and that's as it should be.

Enjoy raving. It's still early in the process. Raving’s OK for the time being. But we all have to come back from fantasy land, soon.

Mass illegal immigration is a serious threat, but not one that the federal government is going to deal with differently depending on whom Republicans nominate to run for President in 2012. As a criterion of selection, a candidate's approach to immigration policy is irrelevant.

And immigration is far from our most pressing problem. We have to put the government back in its stuff sack or we sink, soon. Romney is a classic progressive statist, as evidenced by his attachment to Rombamneycare. He has no intention of trying to restrict the federal government. He's a big believer in his own ability to do wonderful things with government power. The forecast for a Romney presidency would be for ever more intrusive and expensive government.

A Perry presidency might be different. It might not. But it would offer some prospect of a White House willing to lead on meaningful entitlement and regulatory reform. With the economy tanking, that's where the rubber hits the electoral road.

Your feelings are hurt. Shake it off. This is serious stuff. The GOP can't afford Romney and neither can the country.

A Perry or Romney presidency will just lead to 8 more years of a liberal democrat after the 4 years of a RINO, if that happens this country will be finished...for good.

The time is right for a CONSERVATIVE candidate, the base is fed up with RINOS.
