1. Any of our candidates will toast any republican this year.
The parties haven't even started to campaign against each other yet, so head to head polls at this stage are meaningless.

2. He will win here. He seems to have the support of Tampa Bay Republicans
or that's how it seems over here.

3. Romney is more dangerous than you realize
He was able to fool the bluest state in the country into making him governor. Having lived under his administration in my home state, I don't want him to get anywhere near the White House. :scared:

4. IMO, it's the Mormon thing
The Evangels see Mormons as a cult and would write in some fanatic like Huckagomer before they ever pulled the voting both lever for the Mittens.

JMHO

5. He's supposedly a "policy wonk" , but I think he's essentially very shallow.
Anyone who can distill (out of the national dialectic) the actual empirical essence of an issue can take Romney off at the knees.

8. Romney is made entirely of synthetic materials
From the soles of his shoes to the top of his plastic hair.

11. And plastic melts if you turn up the heat. We've got to find the best "hot buttons".
I taught highschool for 8 years, AP Psych, Senior English; I'm telling you I sense a rather limited intelligence in Romney. It's part of what gives him that "nice guy" image. Of course, if he gets in, there'll be his team to make up for what he lacks, but he CAN BE EXPOSED NOW, with the right kind of pressure. You could see this a couple of debates ago when the rest of those Repuglicans kind-of attacked him. He's not used to it, so he fell apart.

12. P.S. and I DO mean We, as in "the Netroots".

A thought on that: Romney's prospective team? Q. Who might they be? A. Trans-national corporations. Q. Which ones? & Who is their competition?

7. We really do not want to run against McCain.
He will pull over independents. I want Romney to win it too. No Christian Evangelical will ever vote for him because he is a Mormon. I go to an Evangelical Christian Church myself and I know how the Mormon faith is touted as a cult and is considered non-Christian. We had three weeks in a row of bible study class just picking that one apart as a cult. It would be the same as Scientology or a Satanic Cult in the eyes of Evangelicals.

9. I have no religious axe to grind against him
I just think he is the biggest f'ing phoney in the bunch. "Ken doll" is very apt name for him. :puke:

10. I hate him for his insipid little smile all the time.
It would be worse to have to look at that than Bush's smirk!! Just watch his smile next time you see him. It just creeps me out.

14. I'm rooting for Rudy
I want every candidate running to win a few states. Keep their primaries in chaos.

I like your way of thinking.

17. Romney scares me less than Huckabee
Huckabee will charm the stupid masses just like Bush did. :shrug:

Romney is just plastic man, no personality whatsoever - he is a robot.
