President Bush Leaving Office More Unpoular Than Nixon

I must admit, I've gotten over Romney's "creepazoid" factor that bugged me so badly for months on end. I still to this day can't get over where his campaign advice was coming from him. As impressive as his track record was, his campaign was even more terrible. Trying to be the "ultra republican" and "democrats are bad people, we need a good Republican in the white house" was not only a terrible campaign idea, but also a genuinely bad concept for governence. Unfortunately, he has not seemed to have gotten out of this bizarre phase he's in, and until he does, he will never get my vote.

I always kinda liked Romney. As I said many times during the primaries, I think he's a closet moderate, and that's a good thing. Also, the man has demonstrated competence as a business leader, which is a rarity in a politician.

He needs Noonan and Brooks to write for him if he is going to have another go at it.

He should focus on his unique positions and gifts like his private sector experience and population center conservatism that recognizes realities and tries to temper them; keeping what works and replacing what doesn't.

He has a shot. We need to cultivate Bobby Jindal's, Michael Steele's and Sarah Palin's to help us get marginalized pockets to feel more at home.

We don't need the two parties to merge into one party. We need a strong GOP just like we need a strong Democratic party that are seperate breeding grounds for different thought, but thought has to be a result.

Criticism will be good for us. 8 years should be enough, hopefully we can do it in 4.
