Romney is GOP's presidential front-runner, but one with a big limp

First Read: Leading candidate starts out in a much weaker position than Bob Dole or John McCain did at the same point in the 1996 and 2008 election cycles.

5. Pawlenty is Sarah Palin with a "moderate" facade. Remember when he cliimbed on the
"Obama is Brainwashing Our School Children Bandwagon"? That is only the tip of the iceberg with that fringe kook.

18. Johnston is underage. How old is Meghan?
And Bloomberg is Jewish. So good luck with that. We're a 2 percent minority and we don't even vote in a bloc.

16. Is there a practical use for 'smarm'?
Because if there is, 'Ol Mitt would be like a gold mine that never runs out of ore.

11. Palin and/or Newt will undercut him in the primaries
Just as Huckabee undercut Rudy and Mitt in 2008 by sucking up 50% of the fundy vote in every primary.

The GOP will wind up with some booby-prize candidate like McCain was in '08.

Six more years.

19. You Know Who'd Be A Stronger Candidate Than ANYONE The Republicans Have Right Now?
That rabbit with the pancake on its head.

The Republicans have NOTHING for 2012. It's going to be a slaughter that will make Walter Mondale laugh.
