I tend to agree. None of the current Republican contenders look particularly good. I am leaning towards former Governor Tim Pawlenty. I think he lacks the charisma to win, but he did oppose TARP and the bailouts, plus he has executive experience. That moves him to the top of my list. Former Sen. Santorum also opposed TARP and the bailouts and does not consider anthropogenic global warming to be credible, but he lacks executive experience.

We need a President who will not reward failure and punish success, like Obama and Bush have done.

With this I think I'll vote for Mitt if he gets the nomination. All he said was that he believes it's POSSIBLE that the earth is warming (something that 1/3 of Republicans also believe)....and he said it knowing full well that he'd get slammed for it.

It's refreshing when a politician speaks his mind regardless of the consequences....especially seeing what happened to Newt after he let some truth slip out.

No better barometer for American stupidity than an aversion to science.

America still leads the world in something........

At least you can admit you are selfish, that's better than those who deny science exists

As a sane person, I really hope Mitt Romney gets the Republican nomination.

Sadly--probably because the GOP is mostly nuts.
