What ought to concern Freepers---and I've been warning about this for a year---is that Huck has such strong appeal among "social conservatives" but also among the Fair Tax crowd.
The good news is that the election isn't today, and the primaries aren't for almost a year. Obama may well be in Hooveresque territory by the summer of 2012, at which time ___________________ (fill in the blank Republican) can beat him.
Your analysis of Romney, though is off, because the FIRST thing people say about him is a reference to his "business ability" and how we "need someone like him" running the country. Whether it's true or not, there is some grass roots support for him as a business person, and again, Freepers tend to dismiss this. I don't think he can win a primary, but his VOTERS need to be attracted to a candidate who DOES have the social creds and the foreign policy sense to win. As of now, it's not clear who that is.
I am scratching my head. What has she done to get national security creds?
Just asking?
