I agree that Romney is strong for the Republicans – he’s coming across as the most “Presidential” candidate and image matters much more than reality in our system. I used to think our system was truly democratic and virtuous but I don’t anymore. It’s an OK system, but depends too much on money, power politics, and clever marketing.
I don’t see the big deal about Fred Thompson and even if he declares I think he’s way too late to the “party” to have a serious shot. If I had to predict things now I’d say it’ll be Romney and Giuliani with McCain slowly fading due to funding and his unpopular war stance. On democratic side Clinton will be very hard to beat in the primaries. Gore would have a better shot than Obama, but I don’t think he’ll be coming in to the show now.
The good news? It’ll be fun for polical junkies like me to watch it all unfold!

He wants to close our borders, bring our boys home as soon as possible, he would like to put a listening device in the Mosques in this country so we know who is preacticing the religion of hate here.
He has mmany great qualities,and has been married a long time .
