You pointed to him twice, that’s why I asked.
I agree, he has flipped more than Kerry. I disagree, though about the polling data. The media wants Romney, they think he will lose, so my opinion is a lot of these polls are rigged.

Try this out, Im about 65% sure that Obama wont even run. That’s my opinion, too..

The left is perfecly okay with Romney even if he won. I think it's important for limited government socially conservative Republicans to fight against statists like Romney with the same agression as they fight Democrats.

More than the media wants Romney. He'd be a pliable placeholder for the next "Obama" (that was worse than Hillary, that was worse than Gore, that was worse than Bill Clinton, that was worse than Carter, etc. etc.)

Nice, "compassionate" statist Republicans like my beloved Dubya, HW., Nixon, God bless him (he was a great man, but dammit, Nixon is responsible for the creation of the EPA, for crying out loud!!!) led from disastrous liberal nightmare to the next ... looking back, Obama makes Clinton seem almost like Opie ... after four years of a big government statist Republican like Romney, the next liberal Democrat nightmare would make Obama look like Erkel.

I pray that the GOP ousts statists from places of power, and puts in conservatives who are simultaneously conservative in terms of limited, small government and free markets, as well as social conservatism such as "gay rights" and abortion. Limited government behooves a more moral society, just as it behooves a commercially more prosperous one.

The GOP must become the party that Americans flock to as the alternative to what's gone before. A Republican vote, anywhere, MUST be a vote for the guiding principles of smaller, limited government and greater freedom to prosper and pursue happiness within what our Founders understood was God's law -- with certain inalienable rights endowed by our Creator.

Well, the only rigged poll I'm convinced I've seen thus far is the Azimuth Research Group's poll of Texas showing Ron Paul with the lead (because it appears that there is no such polling firm). Gallup, American Research Group, UNH, etc. are respected polling firms. PPP is a Democratic polling firm which has shown Romney leading in the GE in some states (PA & NH most recently), but there some questions about their methodology. Of course, if you look at these polls, there are still large numbers of undecideds, because most people are unenthused with the current field. That's one of the reasons I keep saying as of now, because a lot can change in the next several months: other candidates can enter, the undecideds begin to move and the donors begin to commit. Picking a winner at this point is like hitting a moving target; you just have to consider all the variables and take your shot.
