This opinion is not written in stone, and it is based entirely on the hypothetical premise that we have to vote tomorrow morning. We have a large field to chose from on the Republican side and so far only a small call out to Hilary on the Democratic side and I don't consider her a candidate. YET!
Most Americans are looking for that one person, able to step up and do the job of President restoring order and a sense of pride. Mitt Romney is not that man. What Mitt Romney is, is the best stopgap we have at the moment. He comes from a family well known for both it's business endeavors as well as political acumen. Experienced at dealing with harsh financial and bankruptcy situations. Not a "Tea Party" extremist and though he has right wing beliefs he is also known for not being aggressive with them, behaves like a tolerant moderate.
Rick Perry is about to enter the field. Many will flock to him with their support. To much religion in his public actions for my taste. Need to get to know more about him. Ron Paul is already in the race, he is in the unfortunate position of being an elderly "I told you so" which will alienate more people than it endears.
At the moment I find a Mitt Romney/Ron Paul ticket to be our best choice. If the election were being held tomorrow.
Read this. Then browse through this. We have immediate needs I believe Romney can get us through the next four years and get more done than the others.
I especially appeal to moderate Democrats to consider Romney over Obama, we need experience to overcome Obama's lack of it. He doesn't wear his religion on his sleeve like Perry does.
Have a better idea. I would like to hear it. Qualifications for the problems we face is top priority, not looking for a messiah.
The weirdest thing to encounter on the Vine this week is the massive lashing out at Obama that has been put forth by left-wingers. My guess is they finally realized how phony he is. They are getting one thing wrong however. He is not selling out to the Right. His motivations are entirely self-centered, hoping to remain in office and return to forcing his and his closet friend's agenda on us.
A by product of one of my articles last week has been an explosion of interest in the forming of a third party. Big happenings, but is the timing right? Do they plan on running a candidate this election? I hope not.
Another bit of weirdly interesting news. People are making a big deal about Bachman's picture on the cover of TIME. This has to be one of the weirdest deflections of all time. Wasn't it just a couple of weeks ago that libs were complaining about unflattering pictures of Obama?
