I hate to hear that Romney withdrew because it makes it more likely that the GOP elitists will be able to manipulate the nomination process to ensure that another RINO runs in 2016. The last thing that I want to see is another Bush v. Clinton campaign - unless it would be a Christie v. Clinton race.

I Republicans must run a moderate, why can't it be Ohio's John Kasich or Wisconsin's Scott Walker? Both men have outstanding records as governors and would have appeal among conservatives.

I don't know anybody who is excited about a Bush III presidency and I don't think any amount of campaign cash will light a fire under the base if Bush gets the nomination.

The problem is the people of this country no longer vote for who is the best candidate. Its nothing more than a popularity contest that is controlled by the internet and people believing what theyre told. I would have no problems with a fresh face like a Walker coming out of no where and winning, but its a wasted vote in todays time. Add that to the ridcolous way money is allowed to be spent on campaigns and its even harder.

I do look at it this was. If Hillary doesn't run or dies before she gets the chance, the Republicans have a 99% chance at winning the white house back. They have no one else with enough popularity to win the race.
I think if she announces that shes not going to run, then Romney will change his mind.
