As I see it, in 2000 McCain lost out to Bush, and in 2008 Romney lost out to McCain.
Does this mean that Romney is(3 times)inferior to Bush?

Just a thought, I ain't got a dog in this fight!

Naah, Romney may be a pretentious jackass, but Bush was a moron.

Which Romney? He has alternate personas which can be inferior to anyone who comes along.

Well he's the man who lost out, to the man who lost out, to GWB.
Makes him pretty much an also ran doesn't it?
Or does his money erase all his past history?

A liberal, a conservative, and a moderate walk into a bar, and the bartender says, "Hi, Mitt."

Come on now. With a name like Mitt he HAS to become president to avenge his daddy naming him Mitt. Maybe that's why he named him Mitt.

Yeah Saul....we heard........

Noted often by the MSNBC group of talking heads is that the Republicans seem to have this "thing" about being next in line. Bush lost to Reagan and then it was his turn. Dole was next in line. McCain lost out to Bushjr and then Romney lost to McCain. It seems it is now Mitt's turn.

SNL had the best line for the debates and the continuing Republican clown show an circular firing squad........."Keep talking Boys!"

John's right, the guy is a three-stage loser going in. Good thing, too. We need him like we need a hole in the Constitution. I mean, another one. The last two administrations have taken so many potshots at it you'd hardly recognize the old rag.

All smoke and mirrors? Isn't Obama going back in no matter what?... unless Mitt hangs a chad?

No gnu....This thing can be lost. As James Carville said the other night, the candidates may be bad, and they are, but the real problem is we need better voters. That came from a story about Lester Maddox who once said the problem with Georgia prisons was that they needed better prisoners. The Repubs need better voters. The party has gone so far to the fundamentalist super right that they'd reject any real conservative like Barry Goldwater in favor of a nutjob like Santorum or Romney.

BTW, George Romney has probably already turned over is his grave...............

Romney keeps holding his 30-35% in the polls... but that only tells you what they are choosing from the available list! There is not much evidence that even 30% actually LIKE Romney....in fact there is good evidence most don't. (whih is why they temporarily tried out Bachmann, Cain, Perry, Gingrich...etc.)

It IS the sad case, however, that somewhere around 40-47% of Repubs would vote for anyone(even with horns & tail showing) to defeat Obama.   
   I can't see why, myself, that anyone would install an incompetent loser to run the country... just to defeat an obviously competent winner from the other party.... but the current conservatives have an entirely different mindset than what wee all grew up with.

I heard today that Barbara Bush has endorsed Mitt--for what that's worth.

He is the the richest and best looking and "least innocuous" in combo. Gotta work, right?
