Romney as the anti-establishment, outsider candidate is not far from what he portrayed himself during the Massachusetts governor's race in 2002. I lived in Massachusetts at the time. The difference was he was alot more moderate back then. His Democratic opponent,Shannon O'Brien wasn't that good. She was just another party hack with a cushy state job. His winning strategy was promoting fiscal responsibility, which Massachusetts desperately needed at the time and still does.

My grasp of some issues can lean towards not expansive. On others .... I may occasionally have a smidge more heighth purview. I was stuck on Rudy, and have no fallback position. In a wide scan of the political landscape, authenticity is lacking in most the (left over) candidates. They don't inspire. Are minus belief. Chanting hope/change on endless loop, won't transform Barack into a fuzzy peach (voyginn). But superficially he does seem to have sold less of his soul to beelzebub. I don't know if 'Obamacan' is or isn't a real phenomena. But the tenor of the immediate Repub scrum is not very encouraging. Dub has been a remarkably hard working Prez, in my eyes. At minimum, I would want someone equally up to the task. Skilled political campaigners often make good Presidents. And Obama has shown some chops. But his 'innocence' effectively masks his cynicism. And to me leadership is more than mere belief by voters (even giving credit for its inspiration). If Barack somehow swings the nomination, I do believe he has a shot at the oval office. Mac vs. Hillary is already starting to put everyone to sleep. After that? I've got bupkis.
