hummm...a talented, inspiring man, who happens to be black, for President, or a beauty queen who happens to be white? Choices, choices...

Hilliary Clinton (18Million votes) should have been a stronger candidate than Biden (70,000) votes.
So poor was the judgement of Obama that the DEMs have to resort to attacking a women out of desperation & despair.
Why not just get rid of Obama because he has shown that he cannot even count or make strategic decisions.

Mitt Romney would have been uniquely qualified to tackle our country's economic and fiscal issues: devaluation of the dollar, out-of-control spending, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, etc. Mitt has turned around companies (Staples, Home Depot, etc.), the Olympics, and the State of Massachusetts. When you add to that conservative social values, and an exemplary personal and family life - - He would have been the best choice for President, or lacking that, McCain’s Number Two.

Mitt Romney has the right qualifications (the only candidate with non-governmental (Bain, Olympics) leadership experience, a deep-seated faith, a vision for this country's future, and an exemplary personal and family life. He won most of the GOP debates.

Mitt has the organizational skills to run a campaign in the general election and run the country. Obama has never even run a lemonade stand. Mitt would appeal to the Independents and some Democrats for his unique qualifications in these times of economic uncertainty. Oh well, maybe the Evangelicals will see the error of their ways in four years - - - -

Yes this is why we shouldn't vote for McCain....or don't vote....or vote for Obama if necessary. This isn't being a crybaby b/c Romney lost; it's doing what's best for the party, which is true party loyalty, not towing the line, voting McCain b/c that's who we got stuck with. McCain would bring us closer to the Dems, and that's not good for anyone. Let the admitted Democrat, Obama, beat the closeted one, McCain, and let's take this next 4 years as our rebuilding time. Mark Twain couldn't fictionalize a better character to oversee our reconstruction than Mitt Romney, and so I'm more than willing to wait 4 years for him.

Nobody asked you....but you rock, Dan Rodrick!

Mitt Romney would have been the perfect fit for our scary economic times--and yes, Mitt absolutely should have been the Pres nominee! Imagine whom he might have picked as his running mate?! A woman? Another competent person such as himself???!!! Imagine that!

It would have been an amazing ticket!

For Obama quality of work is coming absolutely first. I think with a mitt romney in his cabinett he would be more then happy. Somebody should send him this idea.

Romney/Jindal 2012!!!

The smartest men in ANY room.

The contrast between a young, well-spoken Obama and the old, stiff and rehearsed McCain is too great for anyone to miss regardless of their politics. What were the Republicans thinking when they chose McCain over Romney??!! No candidate is perfect, but Romney would've been close to it given the current financial mess. We can only hope he's still around in 2012!

I , being a Georgia supporter of Mitt Romney, can't agree with you more. I am wondering why my Republican party still puts up with the discriminating and prejudices of some of the religious whackos. . They cannot stop on the religious discrimination stuff, and it is so disgusting, and I wish they would just leave the party and make their own "perfect" one because they do not represent our party's beliefs. I'm of the belief that Mitt Romney's loss this time for president will only strengthen his chances for next time around which I do believe will be in 4 years. The more I, a republican, listen to McCain and Obama speak, the more I hear them sound just the same...and I think America will take the better looking, younger one, over the older, more out of touch one. I think McCain came into this race very selfishly and it is quite obvious every time I listen to him that it is not doing him well. Even his choice for VP is backfiring. It seems that Palin is just bowing down to his "my way is the only way, maverick" approach.
So, sadly our nation has to suffer through 4 years of economy mistakes by Obama and then Romney will come to save America from itself. Interesting that he will be the one to "save" our party. He, being the so called cultist who believes in a different God than other Christians. Who are they to know the certainty of God? Who are they...the Pharisees of our days...who have only their own set way of looking right and wrong, as if they are the dictators of religious matters. I am tired of this religious right fanatics who push their religion and us it as a weapon.

What it is, is that McCain couldn't find in himself the capacity to swallow his own pride and select Romney to serve as his Vice President. He couldn't find a way to get away with picking Lieberman, and so by not picking Romney was just his latest instance of poking his own party in the eye. He's a terrible little man and there's no way I can be scared into voting for him. What's Obama gonna do that's so heinous where I want a Democrat-minus-one Republican like John McCain? Nothing. McCain's a bad prospect and Obama's just a little worse. I'll take the worse one who admits he's a democrat over the imposter anyday. Let the true dem do true damage to the actual Democrat party, while our phony Republican nominee would only do democrat damage to the actual Republican party.

I'm with all those vowing not to vote for McCain. In fact, I'm taking it further and saying vote Obama to make sure McCain can't win. I'd hate to waste my vote to make a statement only to have that statement have no paper to appear on. McCain picking Palin makes it easy since all she is is catnip for the evangelical imbeciles who are bathed in the stench of bigotry.....and they need to be coughed up like a nasty hairball they are, and the only way to do that is to give them a black president who might be a secret muslim, rofl....and then maybe they'll learn that their bigotry doesn't pay for once.

Romney 2012
Keep focused, the fastest, best path to the Presidency for Mitt is for Obama to win in 2008.

If Huckabee hadn't wound the Iowa evangelicals up to throw him a bone, Romney would be the candidate right now and we'd all be grateful because he's the only one in the entire presidential field who has the experience to get us through the economic crisis. McCain/Romney '08--there's still time.

I can't believe that McCain is our candidate. Alot of my friends didn't even vote during the Primaries, stating that only the general election counts. The price for apathy is no Romney.

I agree with a lot of these comments... Evangelicals got what they deserve this election... sadly. Please don't torpedo the second Romney run.
