Imagine being a Republican right now
Edited on Fri Sep-23-11 08:56 PM by NNN0LHI
And looking at a guy like Romney who has been running for president since the beginning of time. And they look at him just like we do but they are really trying to give him the benefit of the doubt and listen to what he has to say. But as they are watching and listening to him they can sense that something just isn't quite right about this good ole boy. They can't quite put their finger on exactly what it is, but they know something is wrong with this fellow. Kind of like his elevator doesn't quite make it all the way to the top floor. He looks and sounds kind of normal. Kind of resembles a talking mannequin in a Macy's window. Pretty bland. And Romney is the best chance they have.

See what I am talking about here?

I can't wait until they actually pick one of these clowns as their candidate. My heart goes pitter patter just thinking about President Obama going up against any one of these goof balls one on one. Bet President Obama can hardly wait too.

7. Romney could be a droid. You have to wonder.
This is not the droid you are looking for, GOPers.

Reagan also ran before 1980, it seems part of the GOP process to keep trying.

There are times I wish our party wasnt so quick to dismiss past also rans, as we had some very good people who might have become President if they werent thrown away after one try.

13. Don't spend your time worrying about Romney
The fundies will never let him anywhere near the nomination. What I fear is some dark horse that emerges from a brokered convention, who has the advantage of looking like a fresh face at about the time that Obama takes the blame for the double-dip.
