You're welcome, now we wait for the loony lefties to savage him, like they did their previous darling, McCain.

I am not sure that Mitt Romney has the legs to win in the general election.

He's the best candidate the GOP has at this point.

I agree with that. This is the weakest GOP field that I have seen in a long, long time.

Lol, well, with the Trumps & Palins, yeah.

Weaker candidate than Obama?

Less qualified, less experienced?

Although the Republican field is weak, Obama is going have to do more than lift Bin Laden's severed head anytime he's asked, "what have you done lately?" Although I approve of OBL's demise even that's gonna get old after a while.

I see him as fairly moderate as the modern day Republican party goes, and so I think it's going to be hard to differentiate himself enough to give the voters a compelling reason to vote for him. If he tries to run on the "vote for me, I'm not the other guy" platform, all he has to do is look back on 2004 and see how well that worked out for John Kerry.

WASHINGTON — A run of disappointing economic data, punctuated by Friday’s employment numbers, is emboldening Congressional Republicans in their standoff with the White House over the best way for the government to encourage growth.

Republicans said the slow pace of hiring in May underscored the need for sharp cuts in federal spending and regulation to spur corporate investment. They have refused to increase the debt ceiling, the maximum amount the government can borrow, without an agreement to make such cuts.

They argue that Democratic efforts to revive growth through public spending programs have failed as the economy remained weak and unemployment high almost two years after the end of the recession.

“You talk to job creators around the country like we have,” House Speaker John A. Boehner said Friday. “They’ll tell you the overtaxing, overregulating and overspending that’s going on here in Washington is creating uncertainty and holding them back.”
