Allen is not obtuse, hes a great speaker who is very charismatic. Whats your fascination with romney? Do flip flopping rinos give you the jollies? Romney stands no chance, he will come off as a flip flopping rino and will alienate conservatives, he will turn off evangelicals because of his mormonism. Once he starts to cave in the polls romney will veer left in an attempt to win and in the process alienate more conservatives.
Romney's the one to watch alright, the one to watch crash and burn and the one to watch as the rino's and fake conservatives great hope.
Romney will do well in the polls and primaries . He will gain mass appeal as more people hear him speak . Don't forget , Romney came in third place in the Tennessee straw poll. It's a good indicator of how the base will hear Romney and like what they see . Frist of course, came in first, as it's his home state . Where was Allen in that poll ? ....lol
