Hey, don't have ANY 'doubts'........because NONE of these horrible choices for POTUSA will 'satisfy' me! And I hope and pray they don't satisfy you...or America either!

If you compromise and vote for any of these...you'll be a 'sucker' and have another 4 years of misery! That's where America is NOW...for getting 'suckered' by a con-man 3 years ago.

Well, I hope they are right, but this far from over. Perry has the right wing media doing a lot of his dirty work also and we have seen what the media can do to influence voters that don't read or research for themselves in the last election. I am afraid Mitt Romney has an uphill climb against a lot of odds that are not in his favor. Whatever happens, people will get what they deserve.

I did plenty of research on Obama and have been quite happy with him thus far. I will happily be voting him again next year.

As for Perry, there's nothing the media can do to save him now. Most Republicans down here in Texas can't stand him.

Romney has no uphill climb. The GOP establishment will force the Romney hand. I fully expect Ron Paul or someone to take plenty of votes away from Romney which will be yet another reason Obama wins.

If you were a Romney supporter you would probably see it differently. People see things from their own perspective most of the time.

No way he can recover from this. I'd say a Romney nomination is inevitable, thus giving us a close race in 2012.

It won't be that close...

On the national level it is not worth my effort. That is right, both parties are insane..........they will run this country further and further into the ground. Welcome to a country that will soon resemble a scene from a Mad Max Movie.

Would a Romney/Newt ticket be impossible ? Newt is smart and it would give him a chance to redeem himself although I think he is under the thumb of his current wife, which bothers me greatly.

I don't think I would vote for Ron Paul and I can't really tell you why ? He just doesn't resonate with me.
