There’s Mitt Romney, whom many conservatives distrust and dislike (I do not dislike him, I distrust him), and there’s a bunch of not-Romneys, none of whom seems likely to me to defeat Barack Obama in 2012. My own intuition is that the important variables in 2012 will be, in order of importance: 1. unemployment; 2. 2008 Obama voters’ buyers’ remorse; 3. the Republican candidate. And the question for Republican primary voters is: If it comes down to 'win with Romney or lose with somebody else,' which do you prefer?"@nooil4pacifistshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16688417615117569825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6427940.post-40966511239535126312011-11-10T19:39:56.058-05:002011-11-10T19:39:56.058-05:00ANM,
Only slightly better than Obama?
Who would ...ANM,<br /><br />Only slightly better than Obama?<br /><br />Who would you rather have nominating the next two Supreme Court justices, Obama or Romney? <br /><br />On that one issue alone, Romney is more than slightly better. <br /><br />It's not a hint that he would issue wavers, he promised he'd do it on the first day in office.<br /><br />That doesn't mean there wouldn't also be moves by the republican House to rescind Obamacare. Republican may have the Senate, too. <br /><br />And do you really think our foreign policy would only be slightly better?Warrennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6427940.post-75272097198645477062011-11-10T14:46:32.764-05:002011-11-10T14:46:32.764-05:00I'm with ANM.

There have been hints that (instead of working to do away with ObamaCare) he would just issue waivers to the various states which ask for them. Such a move would leave the regulatory bodies and expert panels IN PLACE (think of the 16,000 IRS agents hired to assure compliance, think of those "expert panels" working for another 4 years in anonymity, doing their best to match the execrable policies of Britain's NHS...) <br /><br />Yes, he would be better than Obama -- but only SLIGHTLY. His election would assure the Good-Ole-Boy Establishment Republicans that the Tea Party and their demands for smaller government were of no account-- just a small hiccup in the march toward nanny-state-ism. We'd have "Progressive-Lite" for the short, sad remainder of this country's existence.A_Nonny_Mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13599733730516661522noreply@blogger.com
