Nope, that was for the New York mayoral election. For the presidency, he's running as a Republican. Have not ONCE heard it on the news though. I'm going to register as a Republican just so I can vote for him.
 
should of just stayed third party.
 
You didn't include Gingrich. Don't count him out. I guarantee you he will finish higher than Bachmann, Huntsman or Gary Johnson.

I guess so... a Karate master wouldn't lie. Although I dunno how the gop will feel with him supporting gay shoe marriage.:3

Romney being so moderate gives him a good shot at winning the nomination because theoretically he would be able to swing more of the independent and undecided voters, as well as some of the most moderate democrats. But I don't think he should win... But I wanna see a lot of what Obama has done be repealed. Just about everything he's done, actually. And I think that is going to take someone more radical than Romney.

Whoever the nominee is they will have to be able to beat Obama. That is why I don't believe Perry has a chance. He is coming across as a desperate cowboy at the moment. The race card would get a lot of play in a race against Obama. So would the Texas Governor card. I think the GOP should deprive the left of those easy arguments by pitting Obama against someone else...

Like Herman Cain. A race between Obama and Cain would really cut through a lot of the stereotypes and get to the core of the issues, I believe.
 
The same guy will win who I said would when this whole primary thing started...Romny.
The gop has reduced their chance to beat obama greatly with this fiasco thats been going on....Every week was a new teaparty hero...starting with palin...each far right candidate has categorically FAILED with the MODERATE american people.
To be honest I find it incredible that the same people who railed endlessly that OBama was not qualified to be President...tried to support cain for president...neither of them was qualified cain being even less so..
Now after the endless bickering over WE WONT COMPROMISE and WE STAND BY OUR PRINCIPLES...you better get ready for an rino extraordinaire..because thats what your going to get...americans do not like either extreme....
Anyone else notice theres no more yapping about Abolishing SS and ripping up medicare....have you see the ad with the old bags...50 million strong and mostly all vote.....CPWILL I told you this MONTHS ago and you didnt believe it :)....I still love you marine...

Herman Cain's tax plan will be exposed as hurting business and poor people, so Romney should win. I'd give him about a 90% chance right now. And the right wing of the republican party will swallow their pride and vote for him even though he's not that conservative, because they hate Obama so much.

I really need to take some time to study the numbers on Cain's tax plan. As for it hurting the poor.... GOOD. Most of them deserve it. You're right that Romney is the most likely to come out of this thing on top. As for the Right Wing swallowing our pride and voting for him.... we're going to have to disagree. Romney will be the candidate and it will force some of us on the Far Right to vote for OBAMA instead if there is no viable third party candidate.

For too long the poor in this country have been allowed to live a life without real consequences. They make poor decisions and instead of having to live (or die) with the consequences of those mistakes (doing drugs, dropping out of school, unwed pregnancy, etc...) the American tax payers are forced to bail them out and save their asses. It's time they step up and start paying their fair share, especially when it's welfare money to begin with.

I look at it this way.... I have the option to vote for someone I KNOW is my ENEMY, and who I will watch like a Hawk every second of every day (Obama) or someone who PRETENDS to not be my ENEMY, and who may somehow succeed in luring me into a false sense of security (Romney) even though I've already seen his duplicity when he was Governor of the state I live in. I prefer the individual who I KNOW to be my ENEMY and who I will not ever trust under any circumstances because it ensures I stay vigilant.

Yes there are, and for the most part it's because of decisions and choices THEY MADE. I have no problem helping someone who has been and is willing to help themselves. I have a major problem with dragging people out of holes they dug for themselves. I'm more likely to fill the hole in on top of them instead.

Tigger you obviously dont have much real life experience...Ive seen up front and personal people that are poor and had no other choices for a variety of reasons.....No sense getting into a long drawn out thing about it because in the end it wont matter..
As far as you voting for obama as a far right person instead of voting for Romny who is a moderate....Sorry I cant understand that mentality one iota....

If you would vote for Obama over Romney, you are most definitely NOT "very conservative".

It's very simple.... It's a matter of keeping your friends close and your ENEMIES closer. In truth my real hope is that four more years of Obama will lead to the violent REVOLUTION that this country truly needs.... an enema of bullets, blood, and explosions; whereas I don't believe that a Romney presidency would do the same thing, even though he's likely to be just as bad as Obama (and every other POTUS since Andrew Jackson) has been.

See my response above to lpast. Personally, I don't see elections as the means to change things in this country anymore. It's going to take something much bigger to do that. Besides, I live in Massachusetts, my vote for POTUS is worthless either way.

The POTUS is your enemy? You hope for a revolution? Sounds almost like sedition to me.

Yes, I am. I'm an Authoritarian, a Traditionalist, a Nationalist, and an Isolationist. Considering our current society, that's pretty much the modern philosophical equivelant of War, Death, Famine and Pestilance (the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse).
 
After the last debate, more than ever, I think this group of candidates are really awful. And I'm not talking about their policies. I mean they're all really f*cking RUDE. They crap all over Ron Paul and disrespect him. They shout over Romney all the time and interrupt him. These people have no manners at all.
