Just a hypothetical question, but what if Romney is toast?

What happens in Tampa? Do they pick Ron Paul, Newt, that fucking idiot from (chose one: Texas, Florida, New Jersey, Louisiana) or god-save-us-all Rick Santorum (the last man standing save Romney himself). Hmmmm, could be interesting.

The Bush name is still poisonous.

Plus, he wants to run in 2016.

You know, now that I think about it he might very well be called the "Zodiac Killer". The man should have been imprisoned for Treason for the Iran/Contra episode. Virtually every problem of Government that we have today began with Ronald Reagan. Easily the worst President in the history of the country.

...and a big damn mess.
Neolibertarians vs. Tea vs. Old School vs the Laconophilic Remnant(neocons)...and there's factions within each of these factions...it'll be awesome. A Republican Convention worth watching for once.

McCain and now Romney? They are not 'sacrificial lambs'. They are the best the GOP has because they are falling apart at the seams.

Rejoice!

Romney is baloney!

But I believe he will be the GOP nominee. And I further predict Condi flying copilot. Not that a Romney/Rice administration will ever get off the ground.

... They're going to make life hell for Obama for 4 more years then run "Bush the Savior" against a probably weak-dem in 2016.
