romney's the richest, the cutest, & with bush backing he's the president.

[Philosoraptor]

With all these factors in the righteous one's favor, what's to stop him?

[MonkeyFunk]

1. I don't think Bush's backing

will be much of an asset.

[Philosoraptor]

3. He's got the whole vampire family on his side.

[MonkeyFunk]

7. well

I don't attribute any supernatural powers to the Bush family. If they were as all-powerful as some here believe, Poppy wouldn't have lost in '92. Hell, he would've won in '80.

[rudy23]

2. Al Gore

He would crush Hillary or Obama. I think he'd be neck and neck with Edwards.

Al Gore would trounce him in a general election.

[helderheid]

16. Ya hear that Al? We need ya!

[MissB]

4. Golden plates and magic glasses.

As "Christian" as this nation is purported to be, many of them aren't going to be able to overlook his Mormonism.

[Arugula Latte]

28. Don't forget the Magic Mystery Undies!

[MissB]

OMG. That picture.

:rofl:

[Virginia Dare]

5. Plus he's got a bitchin Winnebago..

and a cute boy-band worthy family...:loveya:

[Canuckistanian]

17. Which Romney is that? Biff? Chip? Chad? Billy-Bob? Ezekiel? Newt?

I need a program, dammit.

[Ediacara]

6. Uh, he's so phoney the 29%ers can see through him

[SoonerPride]

dupe

sorry

[SoonerPride]

8. Fundies think Mormons are culties.

They don't like the reflection in the mirror.

[rudy23]

20. That's true, but they think worse about Hillary--and they don't even know why!

NOTHING will energize their base more than nominating Hillary. Nothing.

[bamacrat]

9. He's a fucking zombie,

we dont need the richest in power anymore, that never works. We need Kucinich or Biden, or hell if it has to be a pug then Paul.

[BonnieJW]

10. He's been dubbed the Ken Doll

and rightly so. Take away the $2000 suits and the hair gel and you've got another lying GOP SOB.

[bamacrat]

18. And probably just a hump where his genitals should be. n/t

[AzDar]

19. *Snort*.....

:rofl:

[Jim Warren]

11. Dems got debils in da head

Dems have a penchant for self-doubt it seems.

One late night about the end of August 1992 I was driving across northern AZ listening to Jimmy Breslin boldly say "there's no doubt, as soon as it was announced, it'll be Clinton/Gore".
He was right.

This is one of those moments. It's the dems to lose.

[AlCzervik]

12. Cute? Palease. Kittens are cute, Mitt Romney is creepy sounding and looking. "Cutest" sheesh.

[Bitwit1234]

13. What's really going to stop him is that the people ain't gonna get stung

twice. Look what happened when they bought that crap about bush. The know better now.

[BlooInBloo]

14. He'll get the south, Idaho, and Utah - all for obvious reasons. Not much more than that tho.

[Zynx]

21. I wouldn't be too sure of certain parts of the south.

Mormon is about as bad as Muslim down there. In anything less than true red states, that would seriously depress turnout, if not lead to turnout against him.

Could easily lose Virginia, North Carolina, Arkansas, Missouri and Florida. Probably not all of them, but he hardly needs to in order to be non-viable.

Nevermind that no Republican is going to win Nevada or New Mexico thanks to the nativist spree they've gone on.

[BlooInBloo]

23. I betcha a star for a DUer that he gets every single southern state.

[spanone]

15. the intelligence of the american people.....hopefully

[theHandpuppet]

22. Either that or he's the antichrist

I pick door number two. :smoke:

[JVS]

24. I don't think Bush's backing is an asset at this point, but Romney doesn't have to worry about...

being linked to the Bush administration and its failures the way that, say Tom Ridge would be if he were running for president. It is quite clear that the republican candidates are keeping a good amount of distance between themselves and Bush, so that they can run as candidates who may share Bush's conservative vision (as they would say) but who are not mired in the corruption, incompetence, and stupidity that plagues Bush.

[Katherine Brengle]

25. "Cutest" is not a word I would use to describe Mittens.

Man I hate that guy.

I think America will show it's anti-anything-too-different colors in this election to be honest, which outs Mittens. And probably Clinton and Obama too.

On a practical level, I'm starting to see John Edwards as our candidate.

[WI_DEM]

26. Yep, the Bush annointed candidate is definitely the one the people will go for in '08

;)

[Adsos Letter]

27. Honest Question!!!

...and to all the Mormon DU'ers I apologize in advance for showing my ignorance....

How much influence/pressure can the Mormon Church bring to bear on Mormon voters if Romney wins the Republican nomination?

I am NOT accusing Mormons of marching in lock-step with their church...but I do wonder what pressure may come their way to vote for a fellow Mormon. How is political Independence viewed within the church? :shrug:

Once again, I apologize in advance for any offense that may come due to my ignorance...

:D

[Philosoraptor]

29. ................

[dysfunctional press]

30. how about 5 draft-age sons who have chosen to bypass military service to their country?

IF when mitt fudd is the nominee, the Dems HAVE to make that a VERY BIG issue, considering fudd's endorsement of all things iraq war.

32. And I feel so much safer knowing his boys are participating

in the war effort by riding around in air conditioned Winnebagos trying to get him elected. Oh the humanity!
