I think out of the 16 known candidates in the primaries that he is one of the few who couldn't.
It's not material now. Newt is not going to be the nominee. Santorum is not going to be the nominee. Ron Paul is not going to be the nominee. Deal with reality, please!!
We're stuck with Romney whether we like it or not. The other alternative is Obama and you don't belong at FR if you want more of Obama. All third parties and protest votes may soothe your conscience but they do nothing to defeat Obama.
Romney can win simply because he's not the leader of an economic depression like Obama has been. That's the major difference between the two. Romney has at least a modicum of economic sense while Obama has none.
