1. That's Why I'm Not Even A Little Bit Worried About Losing The White House

Romney is the ONLY semi-electable one of the entire bunch, and he'll be so easy to defeat that Obama might not even have to campaign. AT ALL. Every last one of the assorted other nutbags would send the American voters running for the hills. Unless a "miracle candidate" suddenly emerges from a cave somewhere (it would have to be someone heretofore unknown because there isn't a single electable candidate in the entire Republican Party right now), Obama wins in a walk, and I don't care which name you put on the Republican section of the ballot. He trounces any one of them handily.

2. Obama can easily pain Romney as a "flip flopper".

It almost seems too easy. Is there something I am missing?

7. No, YOU'RE Not The One Who's Missing It

Quite simply stated, right-wingers are so desperate to find a hero on a white horse who will ride in and save the day for them that they'll take anything they can grab onto. Trust me, with Romney, here's what they're banking on: he can claim to be a successful businessman (thus proving that he can fix the economy), he was a Republican elected Governor of an ultra-liberal State (therefore he is accepted by people on the left), and women will swoon over his dreamy smile. That's IT. That's what they think makes him the best candidate.

Incidentally, that Republican desperation I mentioned above is also the reason why they instantly fall in love with every new face that enters the fray. At first they liked Sarah Palin, then they decided they absolutely were in love with Donald Trump, then Trump spurned them, so Michelle Bachmann was their favorite because she was new, then they didn't like her anymore because they liked Herman Cain, then they didn't like him anymore either, they liked Rick Perry, then they decided they didn't really like Rick Perry after all and started drooling all over Chris Christie. Now they're back to good ole Mitt. The smell of desperation is thick in the air over there.

I'm telling you, I've been saying for a long time now that 2012 will end up being a repeat of 1996. And Romney isn't even NEARLY as electable as Bob Dole was.

3. Huntsman could probably beat Obama

But there's no chance he'll get the nomination.

4. Huntsmann is WAAAY too sane for the GOP.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

5. I kind of like him

not that I would vote for him over Obama but his political talents are being wasted in the GOP. I can see why Obama nominated him to serve in his Administration.

6. yes, exactly.

8. Don't kid yourself. By the time he is the official nominee,

KKKarl Rove and Fox News will have scrubbed and rewritten his history as a squeaky clean conservative Republican/Teabagger and since many of the Republican voters are dumb enough to believe everything that they hear on Fox, he will become "their man". Besides, his opponent is, well you know - Black.
