Looks like Romney is going to win and Ron Paul is taking second. The best thing for Romney is if this contest ends up between he and Paul. Paul is not going to Florida, instead sticking with the caucus states. At some point, Romney is the guy and if Paul wants to stick to his Libertarian guns, he has to run as a third party candidate.

Congrats to Paul and Huntsman.
The primary fell the way I hoped it would, took the wind out of Newt/Santorum/Perry circus trio.

Looks like romney and paul are the only two who have a chance against obama. Who do you choose?
Mitt Romney: The Republican Al Gore. Ha!
Because they are both a bit plastic I assume?

I know the national polls show that Romney has the best chance (at lesat that is what I have heard) but the truth is the dynamic would change very quickly if lets say santorum was "the guy" folks would come to know who ever the nomination is, and their national numbers would climb. In short -- vote for who you like the most, to hell with even considering who you think has the best chance of beating Obama -- only think of who has the best chance of changing things if they were to be elected.
Those who would change things up the most if elected over Obama (for good or bad) I believe Paul would change things the most, but in some cases would make international affairs worse including not taking Iran seriously enough. In any case, here are those I believe would most radicly change things up.
1. Paul
2. Santorum
3. Perry
4. Romney
#17 Newt

I really don't see a difference between Romney and Obama. they're the same candidate.

I like Ron drafting right behind romney right now. It's the perfect position.
"Crazy" Ron Paul for president!
Because they are both a bit plastic I assume?
Both are uncharacteristic and viewed as opinion-less mouthpieces who will say what they think you want to hear.
Neither can carry their home state in a general election.
The base to which each of them pander do not actually like them.
The list could go on.
Romney is a text book example of a guy who just can't get people excited about him, just like Gore. Gore dropped what should have been an easy win over GWB as a result. People really think Romney will close the gap and win against Obama when the two are actually campaigning against each other?
Congrats to Paul and Huntsman.

I look forward to Huntsman running in 2016. He should be a very strong candidate then.

I now try and stay out of here (WRP), but I have to disagree-Romney has Business successes/experience as well as what he accomplished at the SLC Olympics, his accomplishments in Massachusetts as well as his Father's examples/sucesses (of which there are many)-I like both Huntsman and Romney, but I see Romney as the guy that is most electable-
I look forward to Huntsman running in 2016. He should be a very strong candidate then.
If he does something between now and then -- but I doubt it. The worse things get with the economy the bigger chnage folks will want -- Huntsman does not represent much of a change does he?
I really don't see a difference between Romney and Obama. they're the same candidate.
I dont like Romney that much -- but from supreme court nominations, to taxes, to dealing with wal street protesters, to Israel -- I think Romney would have acted differently.
