Actually, as the current state of the Republican Party has shown, ANY Republican candidate from the current pack will result in President Obama winning in November.

I really sympathize, because we Democrats have been there in the past, and that condition is indeed scary beyond belief.

Very true. Although I wanted Bush out of office in 2004, I think that it was probably better that he stayed than having any of the Democrat candidates of the time in office. Their campaigns sucked, and it was all about "at least I'm not Bush."

And... we see the GOP making the same fatal mistake.

The GOP has moved WAY farther to the right than they were four years ago. Even McCain, Huckabee, and Giulliani agreed with Obama on many issues back in 2008.

This time around, it's not about who can do what's best for this country. It's about who disagrees with Obama the most, and on the highest number of issues. Who is the best at slamming Obama.

Huntsman failed, because he wasn't anti-Obama enough.

What we see here is a case where many Republican voters were so worried about who they were voting against, that they failed to properly choose the candidates that they want to vote FOR.

The only exception to that appears to be the Ron Paul supporters. But the man won't win. Seriously, America's situation need to be FIXED - not "experimented with." We need to get a bit more further ahead in the game before we can let Rudy on the field to play a little ball.

The man who stands the best chance of beating Obama is Mitt Romney. Out of the four that are left, he's the only one that can win votes from the moderates. We've known that ever since Newt Gingrich was Speaker of the House, that he could NEVER become president because of how far to the right he was. And now? Rick Santorum is showing that he is probably even less capable than Gingrich of winning votes from the moderates.

Mitt Romney's major flaw is that he doesn't identify with working people - he was born into the 1%, and his policies will favor them and big business just the same as with Bush. He's not going to get any Democrats to defect. But he can still win moderates, unlike the others. In the end? However much it's saying, he's the only man with a shot at beating Obama.
