Not a single vote has been cast in the Republican presidential primary. Not one. Yet, the Republican Party establishment has decided for us that Mitt Romney is the 2012 anointed one. Why? Well, he's a veteran campaigner, or he has become a household name. Or some variation that leads to the bottom-line rationale that "It's his turn."
The GOP machine tries mightily to formulate the parameters of intra-party debate so that candidates gather in a virtual cartoon-depicted assembly line, each awaiting "his [or her] turn."
Let's give the GOP veteran operators their due. These are folks who have done much of the hard work to keep the party competitive and hopefully victorious more often than not. They have also raised a lot of money over the years.
The issue is not whether most of them sincerely pursue what they see as best for the party and the country. The problem comes with the track record of their maneuvering. Add to that the question of to what extent they are willing to cut too many corners on principle to achieve worthy goals, with disastrous results in electoral and/or policy issues.
2012 outlook
Americans sense very keenly that their beloved nation is in deep trouble. Is it not understandable therefore that we would seek the very best person to oust the very worst president the voters — many now feeling buyers' remorse — elected to lead a truly great and decent nation?
Why then, a head-scratching visitor from Mars would want to know, are we — again — indicating a willingness to nominate a candidate for the opposing party nomination because it's "his turn?"
Not for the first time....
The Republican Party has been stuck in this rut for decades. Some examples:

“It’s his turn.”
So the US Presidency is like a doorknob?
“Mitt Romney is a mayonnaise sandwich on white bread...”
that’s hung out to blow in the wind
More like spin the bottle.
Bachman rises in the polls, the libtard media attack her.
Perry rises in the polls, the libtard media attack him.
Cain rises in the polls, the libtard media attack him.
The only GOP the libtard media have NOT attacked is “Mitt” Romney. In fact they tell us they would be so scared if we ran Romney against Obama.
Hmmmmmmmmmm....
Oh, and they say we shouldn’t throw them in dat ol’ briar patch too
They ran Dede Scozzafava in NY because it was ‘her turn’.
Then they opposed the guy who ran against Schumer out of spite.
They also did their best to sabotage Paladino in NY.
In light of the above BS and the resulting crap in NY, I’d like the Mittbots to explain to me WHY we should trust them or their liberal buddies.
I agree, it is Mitt’s time to be the candidate - for the dims and challenge 0bummer in the primary.
That's immediately what I thought of, infowarrior, when I read WoofDog's post. It's a shame.
Never again will I vote for a RINO.
And I DO NOT LISTEN to Mr. Soros!
