I wish we still had the polls but, oh well.
Who do you want to win the Republican Nomination? And Why?
Seriously, somebody will win - so who do you want/think will win?
Also, do you think anyone else will enter the race?

(1,986 posts)although they all suck - one of them will win and will be Obama's opponent. And we should all care about that.

(33,497 posts)I don't buy this Mittens is the toughest candidate for Obama to beat thing--He has a long record of shifting positions so he's untrustworthy and he has a record of shipping jobs overseas which will be fully exploited. I think he will be pretty easy to take down and Obama and his forces have been anticipating he will be the nominee for years now and have tons of opposition research and are ready to go.

(25,592 posts)There is nothing on the Republican side and little on the Democratic side to vote or root for.
The passage and signing of NDAA should be a wake up call, but it is not because people don't think it can happen to them.
Too many of us still justify our invasions and wars, 700+ military bases around the world and "defense" budgets as somehow needed. USA, USA, USA, Rah, rah, rah.
We're #1 - except in the areas that really count. There we are losing ground daily.
Any Republican Presidential Candidate - Really? They're kidding, right? They have to be kidding.
I turned off two 6:00 O'clock news last night because the talking heads were happy and exuberant, talking up the 'winners' as if they would make good Presidents. It was sickening. Where is their reality? It sure was not showing last night.

(20,833 posts)so who cares. They are all crazy, just in different ways. They will all make my life and society worse.
For Democratic strategy clearly Romney is the less obviously crazy candidate and the hardest to run against. Of course he's also the guy that passed the same health care bill, switch his position on everything, made huge $ destroying not making jobs and is a CEO wall street insider (candidates like that bombed in 2010) and personally is extremely unlikable as he seems to treat people as if he were king. And that's the best candidate running on their side!
