Key social conservatives secretly meet to stop Romney in Iowa

I think the fear at the GOP is if the candidate was Romney, a lot of
GOP voters would vote for a 3d party or just stay home. He has too
many negatives for most GOP voters.

I just think he is an empty suit.


Romney seems inevitable to me. Newt and Cain are morally compromised,
and Perry and Cain are dingbats. The bottom of the field is going
nowhere. Of the entire field, only Romney seems to be an electable sort
of person, and that would be true in any recent presidential election year.

I don't like him, but at least he isn't bat**** crazy.


I really think the big money people in the GOP have given up on this
race. They have Obama and he is as much of a big business republican
as they could hope for. Sort of like Clinton.

Did anyone really think Dole was the strongest candidate the GOP could
come up with in 96?

I really fear that the best and brightest have no interest in politics
at any level and that is why we have the assortment of crooks, whackos
and ego maniacs that we have.


Honest bright people would never be allowed to get to the top. And you
will be tested before you get there. If not just the right corruptible
personality, there are powers that will hold you back.
