Why is Romney able to defeat Obama? 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.

You are unrealistic. You've gotten a guy who can't win lined up to run against Obama who, by all that's right and holy, could be easily beaten by almost anyone.

The first rule is to get your own political base to vote for you. The second rule is to get a faction on the other side to vote for you. You are going into a campaign with a candidate who cannot get his own political base to vote for him.

I think that is exceedingly stupid of you. Actually, it suggests serious mental retardation among the principals in GOP-e. Their chillun' should have themselves checked for serious genetic defects.

Tampa might put a hitch in your giddyup.
