Dear Republicans, Obama is going to win, so you might as well nominate someone you like [View all]

[Renew Deal]

The 2011 republican primary is unremarkable. The guy "next in line" is leading in the polls because he is better organized and has more money. Other than that, he's a terrible candidate. He doesn't believe in what you believe in and he doesn't have the guts to tell you. At least Huntsman has the guts to tell you what he thinks. Mitt tells you what he thought before and what he is told he needs to think now, but it's plainly obvious that he doesn't buy into all your BS. He's a manufactured candidate. A RW frankenstein. He hasn't seen a room of people he couldn't pander to.

My advice is to nominate someone you like. Do you want to spend the next 10 months defending Romney's lies, flip flops, double statements, etc.? Don't you want a candidate that believes your BS? Do you want to lose with a right of center panderer? Pick someone you like and have fun for the next 10 months. Maybe pick Santorum. He's not as nasty as Gingrich, not as aloof as Perry, not as paranoid as Ron Paul. He believes your crap a little too much. You won't have to wince every time you see him speak. You'll feel a lot better about yourselves when it's over.
