But I think the GOP will do whatever they can to salvage their party's nomination, including by just stealing it out and out. They will continue to increase voter suppression, make voting impossible for the remaining Democrats, and do whatever it takes. Watched them literally steal the election with George Bush, can't imagine them not doing it with Romney.

I keep wondering when people see that Obamacare is not the evil thing they've been told, but will be an extremely worthwhile thing for many Americans, including Republicans, if that will be the GOP's undoing. But they never figured it out with social security. They won't see anything but what Faux tells them to see. Sad. But I don't see Romney winning this election, no matter what they do.

there is no way to answer that question.
I wish it were that easy - then, we'd have hundreds of thousands of great astrologers.
I hope you're right!

Mitt is bad enough by himself, if that's not enough reason there! Reps are beyond reason.

I think they hate him and have always hated him, but had to play with him because of his 1% ties. He's not the candidate of the GOP so much as of the 1%. He shares none of their values beyond stealing.

They are not offering him any cover or real distraction, and in fact are distancing themselves already.

I think they hope to gain at the other branches and obstruct enough to continue the looting for another 4 years, finishing the job they started while trying to escape the blame. After 2 terms, they can call it Obama's economy more easily and run Jebby in '16, who has been positioning himself as a "moderate."

they know that they cannot win- that no one will win running against Obama and so they are using him as a spacer....to make Jeb look rational/reasonable/adult like.

I don't know if it's just them being so out of touch and all the talk of things getting exaggerated. But it seems strange at this time in this country and the world, that they would put someone like Mitt in the ring. The times they are a changing. People talk about greed like it's a dirty word again, and the term 1% is used in every day language. Why would they put up the person who represents the greed and all that has ruined this country and the world. Is it the universe throwing it in our faces, forcing us to make a choice, or is a pure hubris on their side, saying ha, we can do anything. It is strange to say the least, it makes me think maybe they are not in control anymore, I don't know what to think of all this. I don't believe in alot of predictions but this guy is good, so far so many of his predictions have come true. Whitney Houston, the boat in Italy, I went back and read it, because alot is coming true, He talks about Romney being in a scandal and losing the election. hum.
