this guy seems to be the front runner for the nomination. what do people feel about him? his business experience seems to be relevant right now and he should be able to ride that for super tuesday...
his pros/cons?

Pros- He's better that W
I think he has done the best consistantly in the primaries, but I think the front runner is McCain now.

he's prettier than the other candidates
IMO it doesn't matter what religion someone is but..
Pros- Doesn't seem to be a Washington insider but I am sure that will quickly change
Cons- Policy with Iraq and Middle East will not change.

baited how? I found no threads about him and think there are enough ron paul ones. and somehow you wonder why you are one of the least respected posters on this board.
I have to laugh at this. My hubby and I were talking about politics last night and I was "its pretty sad when we have no real front runner in either party and the only thing positive we can say for certain is, that no matter who gets elected, I can't imagine things getting any worse".
the cons you mentioned arent too bad. at first I didnt like that he was a morman but he has made it clear to keep that out of his politics. I hope.
mccain? yea he is doing well but he is just too old and closely aligned with bush.....I dont think that will fly in the long run.
I agree with you 100%. It SHOULDN'T matter, but when the Republican base are Christians who do care, it matters a lot.

I think those cons are a big deal because each one of them pisses off a different portion of the Republican base. That makes it tough to win a general election, even if it is against Hillary where Republicans will come out of the woodwork to vote against her.
Side note: You got rid of your signature...I take it all back now. I am going to uninvite you from the Vic five months after the fact.

2/3s of republicans are happy with Bush. its not a bad stategy to win the nomination. I still think McCain is just pandering to get votes. I bet he hates Bush and if he got a elected i could see him flipping on a few issues, maybe for the better. but thats just a weird feeling i get about him.
I coulda swore there's been a fair amount of discussion and opinion already about the guy, maybe there's another PJ forum that looks just like this one of which you post on for hours on end on.
My mistake... lol
I'm guessing you like the guy and would like to promote him, am I wrong?
besides...aren't you a democrat?

I don't think McCain would need to think twice about the possibility of shoving it in W's ass after the 2000 SC primary.

i think it does matter if it influences his decisions. It probably doesnt influence his. I'm not a big fan of Mormonism, but I dont want to turn this into another religious bashing thread.
that would be nice
like always, you are wrong. I dont like or dislike him. I'm looking for information and peoples opinion, thus making a thread.
I am neither. I call it like I see it.
I concur.
Call me crazy, but I think we're having a civilized discussion on The Moving Train w/o people pushing their own candidate down our throats and actually talking about strengths and weaknesses.

give it a second. it true fashion, roland is playing the part well. he has the mind of a 12 year.
You'll have to forgive me, but I don't believe a word you just said.

no one is whining. I just like to point and laugh at you, mostly because you arent even american and cant vote. even though you wish you were.
haha...same sad story stuck on repeat. I like how you hiccup that mantra like a broken record when you have nothing else....
That's ok don't respond to the Pakistan thread...purple sky world..purple sky world...

Of course working on universal healthcare and with Ted Kennedy are two big cons for the Republican base which is why Romney has disassociated himself from it.

I see why the "republicans" want him.
If there is ANYONE who can "lead us" "out of this mess" with regards to Wall St, it is Romney with his 2 decades of bucket shop experience. Hell the guy owned his own damn private capital firm.
I disagree with that approach ... "sweep it under the rug" approach ... but of all the candidates, i think he would be the most apt to comprehend the symptoms and work shady ways with all the players to "make them dissapear".
I see lots of neat little accounting loopholes opening up for the street, if this guy gets elected.
That is THE reason he is the frontrunner right now, imho.
If I opened it now would you not understand?
really though? I know you think rp's is the only savior for our economy but there is more then one way to fix a broken car ya know. I still dont know, there isnt an electable candidate I like yet but his business experience is something to look at.
I wouldn't say he's the front runner yet. If he wins Florida, he'll be the definite front runner. Whoever wins Florida with its 57 delegates that are winner take all would be the front runner going into Super Tuesday.
Romney also has the advantage of having a lot more funds than all of his Republican rivals.
