No chance; he's riding a trough of unpopularity right now and looks like a one-termer. Lots of voter's remorse among his backers down here. There's talk about old Charlie Crist running as a Dem next go-around.

Gosh, I don't understand - a state full of Medicare and Social Security recipients electing the CEO responsible for the largest Medicare fraud in history? Who wants to remove all government assistance from citizens? What could go wrong?

I believe that about Crist! Good tip.

Whoever Romney chooses, we can be guaranteed of one thing, that this person will be a lot more intelligent than then the beyond stupid Joe Biden. Biden is the Ed McMahon of politics, nobody has ever risen so high in politics with so little talent and intelligence. The only thing scarier than an Obama presidency is a Biden one.

I like these two, leaning towards Beck...and you missed an obvious one.

Actually, Darth is looking pretty good with his taxpayer-funded new heart - sounds better, far healthier, more active.

Too bad every American doesn't get that same type of government-provided health care Darth received.

I was unhappy to see Tebow was rated with Glenn Beck

Always the fallback, call Bush an idiot. Sarah Palin is more intelligent than Joe Biden which does not say much for Biden.

I am always amazed at how the left claims those whose don't support their position do nothing but demean and attack. Yet, I hear no one on opposed to the left calling a man who faithfully served his country Darth Vader. It is time to get out of the past and start concentrating how we fix the mess that Obama has created in just under four years.

My first thought is Barak Obama. The scary thing is Biden scares me a thousand times more than Obama.

People can criticize Bush all they want, but we are where we are today and what happened under Bush is no longer relevant to the discussion as to where we are going and how we are going to get there.

The left wants to deflect the fact that they cannot push Obama's accomplishments and that he is in over his head as President, so they just bash anything they can on the republican side. That is why we see the queen consistently attempt to bash Romney on a daily basis. That is an agenda that I just cannot support, I want this country to go forward, not backwards where Obama has taken us.

i agree that there is always a move to blame bush for everything. but both parties engage in trying to bad mouth the other guy, so as to boost themselves in turn. romney does deserve some of the criticisms aimed at him; so does obama for that matter.

Oh really, how was that...as a five time draft dodger or as the instigator of a war with a sovereign nation...select one...

Bill Clinton was a draft dodger, would you say he didn't faithfully serve his country? I am still waiting for your proof that Bush, Cheney, or any republican for that matter had any different proof than Congress did when Congress, including democrats, voted for the war against Iraq.

I guess you also forget that Hussein repeatedly violated U.N. Sanctions prior to the war, was repeatedly warned of the consequences of doing so, and unlike our present leader, our country took action to ensure such actions had consequences and did so with the support of many other free nations.

Clearly, politics are not your forte.

until hearings are held and proof presented-the claim of lies to congress are completely unfounded and bogus excuses from people who voted for war. don't hold your breath waiting for the liars to be held accountable.
the real liars are on a five week recess pandering for votes.

Obama couldn't survive a tour with Air Supply and he started an illegal war with Libya and continually kills innocent people with drone attacks inside Pakistan yet you never here a peep from the sheep on the left. Apparently warmongering and murder is ok as long as it is being done by a Democrat.

Joe Biden told at least 13 documented lies and Sarah Palin still kicked his stupid ass in their debate.

Joe Biden finished in the bottom 10% of his class for both his undergrad studies at the University of Delaware and law school at Syracuse University not exactly academic powerhouses.

Say what you want about Bush but at least he had the guts to show his college transcripts unlike the lying, fraud weasel Obama. By the way Bush's grades were better than that elitist idiot John Kerry.
