Poor Mitt

Most people will call me crazy but with so much riding on the Michigan and Arizona republican primaries today, its hard not to feel bad for Mitt Romney. Four years ago he lost the nomination to senator John Mccain. At the start of the republican primaries he was the most well known candidate. He has had to battle against the former head of the national restaurant association-Herman Cain- who was previously accused several times of sexual harassment, the "godfather of gridlock" -former congressman Newt Gingrich- who was also guilty of ethic violations while in congress, a somewhat satirical character-congresswoman Michelle Bachmann-who along with her husband felt you could "pray the gay away", and now a virtually unknown former senator with extreme conservative views who lost his reelection campaign in Pennsylvania-Rick Santorum-who among other things feels that Satan has his sights set on America.
Mitt is charismatic, good looking and is worth more than any of the other candidates, reportedly 240 million. He has spent more than any of the other candidates on his campaign but is still not the clear front runner. He is struggling for a win in Michigan even though he was born in Detroit, grew up in its suburbs and his father was a three term Governor in the state. To make matters worst, in Michigan, registered democrats can vote in the republican primary (this makes no sense to me) and many feel they will do so and vote for Rick Santorum since they feel he has less of a chance of beating President Obama in the fall.
I'm just saying, poor Mitt.
Thoughts?

  1. Funny, I registered as a Republican, so I could get the most liberal Republican candidate nominated.
