[Guns Guns Guns]

President Barack Obama retains a big lead over possible Republican rivals in the 2012 election despite anxiety about the economy and the country's future, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll on Wednesday.

He comes into the race with what has traditionally been the enormous advantage in Republican politics of having run at least once before.




He enters this slot in the race in the weakest condition of anyone who has ever tried to occupy it.




He has nothing like the strength of a George W. Bush in the run-up to 2000, and is running for the nomination of a party whose establishment is disdained by its base as perhaps never before.




We all know Romney’s potential problem with his Massachusetts health-care program.



Romney is running as a business-oriented establishment Republican and keeping his distance from populist conservatism.




At the same time he has moved, stylistically at least, to the left, the party as a whole has moved right. Romney is essentially making a bet that the tea-party phenomenon is overhyped.




It’s a bet that went bad for several business-backed establishment candidates in the Republican primaries of 2010.

Romney and the Auto Industry: Predatory Profiteer





In 2008, as he is doing this year, Romney was touting his experience as a businessman. And, in 2008, as he has already done this year, Romney was imploring voters to reject "lifetime politicians" who "have never run a corner store, let alone the largest enterprise in the world."


In January of that year, the Boston Globe reported that despite recent campaign pledges "to beleaguered auto workers in Michigan and textile workers in South Carolina to 'fight to save every job,'" Romney did not have a reputation as someone who fought to save jobs.


"Throughout his 15-year career at Bain Capital," the Boston Globe reported, "which bought, sold, and merged dozens of companies, Romney had other chances to fight to save jobs, but didn't.
