    Perry would be better than Obama, but I'd prefer Romney

    It's stuff like this that cracks me up. Seems like you just want a slick-haired, silver-tongued white guy to be the President, regardless of what they actually espouse.

    ??? white guy?

    Our half-white/half-black guy has been a failure. At this point, I'll take anything else. The American people voted resoundingly against his party a week ago....

    It will be Romney by default and trust me the idiots in this country will conveniently forget about how much they hate Obamacare when Romney was basically the architect.

    Huckabee, Palin, Gingritch all have significant flip flop and or personal problems.

    No way a Mormon wins the SC primary.

    It may be unfair (I wouldn't care if he were a Scientologist), but I have the opinion that a Mormon would have a very difficult time getting the Republican nomination. A more difficult time than running for election as the candidate of the Republican Party. Why? Because a majority of Democrats won't care what religion the guy is. I suspect that a majority of independent voters won't care, either. However, I think that a majority of Republicans in today's Republican Party will. Remember, Nixon was a Quaker, yet got the nomination. I can't imagine Dick Nixon getting the GOP nomination today.

    Romney, Palin and Thune would be the frontrunners today

    I wonder if Romney would repeal RomneyCare though.

    1. Would you vote for Romney?

    2. Do you support The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act?

    On one hand I wanna say Perry is an idiot and no one would take him seriously as a Presidential candidate. Then I remember that the GOP put Palin on the ticket, so WTF knows.

    Haha, he came off pretty friendly and like some kid who's dying for acceptance. However, there was little to no substance to anything he was saying. Nothing new.

    Romney is the better candidate for your guys side but I just don't see the religious right signing off on him.

    It's usually is not the so call favorite unless there is a Vice President as the candidate. Actually Perry might end up being the candidate because it's usually somebody nobody is talking about and it works for Texas Governors well because they really ar limited by there power within the state which they get credit for when they run.
