You guys really underestimate romney. Most of the nation doesn't know him as well yet. Mccain has still much higher name recognition. Keep in mind romney is the guy that was able to get elected governor in a state that only 15% of the electoral base is republican. This whole election is about change and like it or not mccain is a washington insider. Long term I am telling you, romney has the best chance to win for the republicans, not mccain. Mccain, being the fiscal liberal he is, and the fact that he takes off the table some key issues that republicans could use AGAINST the democrats otherwise (illegal immigration) Mccain is not a good long term prospect. he just isn't.
Finally, wrl, you are one dumb moron if you think mccain is anything but a total sellout to the republican party... get over the fact he was in vietnam, that's not an instant qualifier for president... I don't know... maybe he just looks good in blue jeans . . lol
Wrong. Mitt or that other nut Huckabee will definitely win the primary but if you're trying to make an assessment of who's likely to win in the general, its McCain. I do agree that he is a total sellout and that his lure more than likely has to do with his blue jean look. He allowed himself to be used like a cheap h0ker by the Bush admin and over the last 7 years has essentially become senile and irrelevent. But the fact is that he's the only one that does well in the polls against any of the current democratic frontrunners and he won't get elected by repubicans.
I'm actually happy about the RuPaul rEvolution. They are helping to cyphen off votes from the only slightly electable Repugnican.
