re: #88 Surabaya Stew
And Romney would have had a great chance of that, had he not pandered to the Right-wing during the 2008 GOP primary debates. (Of course, has McCain nominated him for Veep, he might be a shoo-in for 2012 right now!) As it stands, the only sane Republican I can think of is Jon Huntsman, and he’s far away until 2016 at the earliest.
Romney made a mistake in 2008, but has distanced himself sufficiently that he is not tainted.
