About the same here. Romney is a strange bird to me. Taken at face value, I don’t think anything about him one way or the other. I don’t feel distaste, nor am I interested. Do I thing he would be a bad President? No. Do I think of him as a leader? No. He’s not dull but neither is he exciting as a candidate. He reminds me of the guy who becomes president of a club because no one else wants the job.

The more I see of Huckabee, the less I like him.

I’ve got to agree that Mitt’s better than Huckabee and probably McCain, but he’s worrisome indeed.

A natural ‘let me (big government) fix-it for you’ technocrat who wants to please (those who succeed in pandering politically do so because it is consistent with their personality), which is the type most guaranteed to be corrupted by the liberal Washington culture. Already he was corrupted by the liberal Massachusetts culture!

He’ll do to health care what Bush did to education, and probably like Bush he’ll try to please by upping mandates and spending and tax cuts all together—until he’ll be forced by the Democrat Congress to forego the tax cuts. You’ve already seen his approach to judicial appointments in MA, and there’s no reason to expect he’d be less accommodating on the federal level.

It’s a sorry day indeed.
