Romney has an excellent chance of winning the nomination! Many FReepers, including myself, said that McCain had no chance of winning the 2008 nomination and look what happened.
Conservatives are dividing their votes way too much and while it’s ok to have two or three options we can’t get bogged down with 10 or 12 men and women splitting the vote while Romney cakewalks through the primaries on name recognition and a huge war chest.
People should think about the point you made here.
I don’t like Romney and don’t want him to win, BUT if one is being objective he has a pretty decent shot of winning if it becomes a test of survival. Like him or not, Huckabee WILL get votes in the South, West and Midwest...and likely take them from Palin instead of Romney.
Romney could very well, as you say, pull a McCain and be the loser who wins by default as the rest of the voters split the pile.
I am certainly not saying it is a good thing, but I hope people realize we do NOT need a replay of 2008.

Mutt Romney will never win a national election unless that liberal puke runs in the demonrat party.
You are so right about splintering the conservative vote and Romney taking advantage—so how can you reasonably post a DeMint 2012 in your tagline?
The Repub nominee will not be Huckster or Mitten, no chance, no way.
