Everyone knows that Mitt Romney will win the GOP. I'm not sure what that means for the Country.
I think many tuned out voters will see that Milton is a member of the LDS Church, and they will confuse it with the LSD Church, and vote for him. Seriously, Romney's financial leadership history looks good on paper, and that will be enough for many fiscal conservatives to jump on board. He has toyed with the idea of allowing Civil Unions in Mass, and that will win him a few votes from the socially liberal voters. He is certainly a smart and astute business man, and is a politician in every sense of the four letter word. Personally, I don't see a change in my daily life no matter which one of these candidates, wins the Presidency. I am 100% for someone like Ron Paul shaking things up from the status quo. I like the idea of someone with enough guts to eliminate the highly inefficient IRS, and switching to a spending tax. I like the idea of a President who has morals, and knows his or her place in the Country and the world. I don't want another dumb puppet pretending to know what he is doing. Mitt looks better on paper than many other candidates, but he will not be the salvation of this country. We are in far too great a hole for that and the Federal Budget isn't required by law to be balanced.
Huckabee? I don't think he has a chance in hell at winning the election. I think the US grew tired of the Sunday School teacher running the economy into the ground. Putting the actual preacher in the chair, cannot be much different.

Don't forget the women, we wouldn't want to leave the wiccans out.
Umm, actually he was for them and then when there was a back lash he flipped and wanted to end them.
You are correct, and hence my usage of the words, "toyed with" the idea of allowing.... You may have also noticed part of the sentence following the one which you put in bold, "(Mitt) is a politician in every sense of the four letter word."
Back to Huckabee, did anyone notice his recent typical political move? Some people say that not having a political background will make Huckabee strong in the race. I say he knows way too much about poliTRICKS and it shows in his latest Press Conference, where Huckabee invited the Press to tell them that he was not yet going to release the negative commercial on Mitt. Then he showed the Press the commercial, knowing that they would release it in their news stories. True politician all the way.

Who knew a thread about Huckabee could be so much funn.
She must be defeated you know
I might agree, except Sean Hannity's entire life right now revolves around this statement, and I would enjoy seeing that smirk wiped off his face forever, so I can't quite agree.
I agree with SJ about Mitt. He really was so promising to me but when he started flip flopping about his social policies it made me wonder about his backbone.
I hope the gay-marriage amendment gets defeated in Florida. My opinion -- and I'm sure it seems very radical and unpopular, but in my mind it's all about fairness -- is that everyone should be entitled to a civil union sanctioned by the individual states, and if you want to get "married" in the traditional sense, you have to go to a church, temple, etc for that. If we are going to bring "morals" into it, then let the individual houses of worship determine their morals. The state, meanwhile, should just let anybody get hitched (as long as they are of age of course).

Mitt Romney may not be your cup of tea, but he has a resume of solid accomplishment. In case anyone has actually considered this, abortion and gay marriage aren't America's most pressing issues. Changing one's mind on any given policy position is a sign of thoughtful consideration, not deception. We have a mental midget in office who has demonstrated unwavering inflexibility for 7 years now. Would anyone care for another president like this?

Bob, you make some good points about changing opinions with time. All "schooled" politicians have at least two opinions about any given topic. With the Bills being all lumped together, it is easy for a politician to have a legitimate excuse for any vote. This may be the perfect example of why we shouldn't base our opinions of candidates on their voting record. A bill may be labeled the "Civil Marriage Bill," but there is always much more to it than one simple issue.
I want a President who will not flip-flop based on Americans' daily poll changes, which is what many candidates do. I want a President with heart, and an open mind to rethink the status quo, one who can make a decision, back it up, and adjust it with time. The perfect plan is one which has, and allows for, contingencies. The Congress which voted to give the President unbridled power and authority in going to "war against terrorism," got to have their cake and eat it, too. They are just being politicians, so I don't expect more. You may call this Bush's War, but without Congressional agreement, we would be in this situation. Thank your Senators and Congressmen for allowing Bush to do his thing.

I'm with you Bob.
Romney's turnaround/corporation-building record is first-rate. He would certainly be Al Gore-like in his ability to streamline government (remember when Al did this as VP? Boy I miss Al!
) I just wish Romney would stand up and say what most of us know: "Folks, these are not the most important issues!" That would get me excited about voting for him.
