Santorum... can't get elected. He may be the anti Obama, but too much so, in that he can't get many of the independent voters to go for him. Doesn't matter how good he does in the republican primaries, in the main presidential election he would lose badly against Obama because he's too far off to the religious right.
Newt... hahahaha... He can put on a fiery speech, but his record is too all over the place for him to get the eventual republican nod.
Romney... ugh... The only reason that ____ of ____ has even a few votes is because he's already the "chosen" pick by all the major players. This primary was essentially decided before it began. Romney would win, and we will like it. From day one the news has presented him as the frontrunner and winner, so people have largely accepted that fact, despite the fact that nobody likes him! .... really, are the republicans trying to lose? I've got an idea, lets choose someone who looks like a corporate raider as our standard bearer to go against socialists, er i mean democrat incumbent, right after occupy wall street... BRILLIANT!!!!!
Paul... well open disclaimer, I like the guy. Unfortunately he's definitely a different drink of water. I think its the water we need to cure what ails us, but too many folks are still unwilling to give up their sugary pop addiction and give water a try for a change. (meanwhile popping another diet pill cuz they can't lose weight.... I digress...)
Now what could be interesting is how many delegate votes Paul has been getting... It could very well force a Romney-Paul ticket at the end.... BUT I don't think Paul would ever go for it, too much of a compromise to his values!
well folks, that's all :)
Remember, if you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got! This election and the sorry state of our economy is no different!
