Many posters have been posting that Romney currently has an advantage and that is why we must start organizing for her now(isnt that why Mark is talking about this?) . Republicans are very likely to pick the one they think can beat Obama, versus the best candidate , even if they pick the real loser.(look at Dole and McCain)
Not saying she should make a move now. But once Romney announces, she must too, or we risk the Thompson-Mccain scenareo and maybe Obama for four more years. Mark can play a big role in getting her to move on time since he knows she is our best chance.
“we risk the Thompson-Mccain scenareo”
I really doubt that. Romney is a worse candidate than McCain and Romney Care (not to mention his other many flaws) is going to be a heavier albatross than anything McCain had to contend with in his past.
Thompson is a fine man, very principled. A lot like Palin in this regard. But he was a lackluster candidate, who needed to start a lot earlier to get known. Palin is already known. And she is a great candidate, qualitatively better than Fred. I think she can start later than an average contender would, simply because she has an army of dedicated, “broken glass” supporters already. Romney has to rely upon his hirelings.
