The problem with Mitt Romney

May 14, 2011 11:02am
The problem with Mitt Romney is what it has always been: He simply has no core, consistent beliefs.
He modified his positions to fit Massachusetts when he was governor there, and now he's trying to make his positions fit the radical-right GOP agenda. He is simply the most insincere politician I have ever seen.

My early take on the 2012 GOP possible candidates for president

May 11, 2011 4:16pm

Here is my early take on the GOP 2012 Republican field.


I am just rating the chances of the person beating Obama in the general election, and not at all on whether I agree with them or not:


Romney: poor (huge flip-flopper, insincere, religious prejudice)

Palin: zero (Tina Fey will destroy her)

Bachman: zero (uninformed, loony)

Trump: zero (a buffoon and hypocrite)

Huckabee: so-so (he is not an idiot or loon)

Pawlenty: so-so (also not stupid)

Daniels: poor (hard to imagine excitement)

Gingrich: zero (with history, can't imagine nomination)

Huntsman: so-so (religion will be issue, but none of the Romney baggage)

Christie: good (a very charismatic speaker)

Jeb Bush: good (but he insists he won't run - for now)
