“With the economy going to be the major issue of 2012, then Romney can sell himself as understanding private sector job creation which will be the buzz words of 2012.”
Romney can never overcome the very strong evangelical base of the GOP. He can’t win the primary. Unless Palin runs, or some dark horse comes up, Huckabee will be the GOP nominee. I know he isn’t liked here on FR, but freepers are minority and too heavily weighted with libertarians that. Most conservative Southerners are not going to vote for Romney...for many reasons.
If Conservative Southerners determined the nominee then the RINO RELIC McCain would have NEVER gotten the nomination.
Iowa and New Hampshire set the stage and South Carolina is not really a conservative state, as long Goober Graham keeps getting elected.
Romney and Huckabee are both losers who share the same middle name of Samsonite. If not Palin, then Governor Cristie and from what I’ve recently read, he’s less than stellar on immigration, so God help us unless he gets a quick education and conversion.
