More like he's the only one with any chance of winning, because he isn't as overtly crazy as the other candidates.

Well, he has no chance of getting the nomination. But if he did, he'd destroy Obama. As would any real conservative.

If Mitt Romney can win the Republican nomination, he can win the general election. Smuffin, the general electorate is not more conservative than Republicans.

In the last 50 years, which Republican did the best in the general election, and which did the worst?

Goldwater did plenty bad. Candidates also have differences besides how conservative they are- Reagan was charismatic and his opponents weren't exactly strong candidates.

90s games > 00s games

Isn't Goldwater just over 50 years?

Anyway, my point is that Reagan destroyed and Dole/McCain blew ass. The idea that the American people will only vote for centrists is idiotic. Hell, look at Obama dominating compared to Kerry.

No one said that, and every election is different.

Mitt is not-so-secretly who every Republican strategist hopes gets the nod for good reason. He can take states that the other candidates never will.

I really agree with SephyG here. Romney could steal some of the states that say, Perry would never have a chance in, and there's no way any Rep. candidate is losing the Southern states.

"It is important that supporters and everyone at the club remembers that the cannon on the chest is more important than anybody."

The "good reason" being because Republican strategists are big-government progressives who recognize that there is no significant difference between Obama and Romney.

Obama is not as weak as Carter, period. Reagan's got nothing on guys like Perry when it comes to crazy. Nothing at all. Perry has already handed Obama enough ammo to bury him in an election if it comes to that.

His "trying" consisted of bringing it up one time, then cowardly backing down when the AARP threatened him. Then he created an entirely new unfunded entitlement in Prescription Drugs D in a lame attempt to buy the votes of seniors.

I know nothing about either candidate, but I imagine that most of the voters probably knew very little and that speaks poorly for the climate going into next year.

It's a horrible result because it says that Obama's probably not as invincible as some of us think.

I could be wrong though, and all the voters in Sephy's district are just really knowledgeable, but I really doubt it.

40% of the district are Jews, which is a base that Obama CANNOT afford to lose.

.Romney better not get the nomination. If he does, we're really screwed. For one thing, he's not much better than Obama. The tea party will run their own guy separately and end up splitting the vote. It would be a catastrophe. No, we need Rick Perry.

Rush Limbaugh is already doing damage control for if Romney gets the nomination. He won't tear the guy apart, emphasizing that "all of the GOP candidates are much better than Obama."

If the pundits follow him (as most non-crazies will), then Romney will get a ton of mainstream Tea Party support next November.
