He isn't bogged down by personal convictions.

LOL

He has also proven such while running the state of Massachusetts. Again, I'm not saying he's the best out there, but I'm saying he's better than anyone else running at this time.

I don't understand. A CEO would be closer to a dictator than a president.

Dude, do you just make shit up as you go. No, seriously, sometimes you make since. And other times, I just wonder if you do it to fuck with people.

There are different kinds of leadership. I would argue that Paul has been a political leader which is more important for a president than being a business leader. Hell, even Newt has more political leadership experience than Romney. Oh well, what do I know.

Didn't read it but I definitely agree with the headline.

Well lets look at it logically. A president needs the approval of Congress and ultimately the Supreme Court to get a law passed and have it stay a law. A dictator has to answer to no one. A business owner has to answer to no one. Hmm...

For the well being of the country, the President should be whoever the most effective advocate for New York is.

I'm not one who has followed Mitt. I am NOT a fan of his at all. I asked others why they might support him. Its not about anything other than their opinions of this specific situation.

The scope of this discussion is not really wide enough to give a shit about mine, or your, personal "know." (bad grammar on purpose)

Doesn't look like this is a certainty right now.

the media has been selling it

like anyone isn't going to say that the Media hasn't been selling Mitt?

really?

Rick Santorum's showing tonight has fucked Mitt's 'steam.'

Interesting dialog the American people are creating. A nation divided is clearly the message (outside of Obama supporters obviously).

Don't worry, this is how liberals felt in '04. Mitt will likely have similar success as Kerry.

So you want your president to run the country like a private equity firm. I'm sure a president's decision parameters include a few more factors than a CEO of a PE firm. Sure some of those skills will help him be president, but not nearly as many as you think in my opinion.

LOL..he is SOOOO in touch with the American people.. 10000 dollar bet in a debate? Not worried or focused on the poor.

All of the traits you mentioned are stuff we already knew because he already tried to run for President. If anyone disagreed with anything in that post in Nov 2010, they were/are morons.

I knew this would happen. He was essentially the only guy running or the only guy everyone knew was gonna run. Everybody thought the health care thing gave him no chance. Mitt Romney was not the favorite. Honestly though I had been saying that to people a good year before I posted it on here. That was just the first and only time I said it on here. I'm just joking around anyway. But people werent talking about Romney then like he was gonna be the candidate. nobody was really even talking about the next election at that point. It was still too early. People were still bitching more about Obama. The 2012 election wasnt really even being discussed.

As crazy as it sounds Palin was probably the favorite at that point. Maybe not the favorite. There really wasnt a true favorite at that point. It was just too early. She was the person everybody was talking about though. Romney wasnt really being talked about at all. He was in the background around that time.

The thread was about Palins chance of beating Obama in the next election. I'd think if Romney was the big frontrunner at that point someone itt would have brought up his name. I was the only person that even mentioned him. But somehow he was the clear favorite at that point?
