There is a real chance of Romney becoming President....

All of the money and special interests behind him. Plus voter suppression.

Also with high gas prices and a bad economy working against Obama I can see Romney swooping in under the radar.

to switch to Romney -- "what the heck, let's try something different."

This election should not even be a contest, but the Republican lies make it one.
