re: #43 Varek Raith

The problem being that they’ll have to pander to the crazies to get the GOP nod which will greatly reduce their chances of being elected in the general.

Then he’ll have to pander fairly little and do it carefully. But it can be done, and I hope he does it. Romney would make an excellent president, and he’d be better than Obama by a good margin (though I am partisan, so take those words in that spirit).
