Another theory.

[Gramps]

Just a hunch. Maybe the GOPers enjoy so much playing the role of "spoiler" that they're willing to sacrifice the White House and gamble on retaining an edge in the HOR so they can deny everything constructive that Obama has to offer during his second term. That might explain Romney as their candidate.

Gramps: That might explain Rmoney as their candidate.

LeRoy: Well, the shocking thing is, Gramps, they didn't have anyone BETTER. I mean, really! Donald Trump? Herman Cain? Newt Gingrich? Rick Santorum? Michele Bachmann? Sarah Palin? Are you kidding me?!?

True, they DID have Jon Huntsman. But that feller buhleeves in all that Darwan ape-man monkee bizness noncents! Ain't no REAL Republican buhleeves in THAT!!

Shucks! I was just trying to put the political puzzle together, but you could be right! They really don't have a lot to offer. So, what does that tell us about their sudden urge to cast Romney in so much glitter after the better half of them wouldn't touch him with a ten foot pole while some of the also runs were still in the race. Strange things are happening.

My "theory" is that any president that does not live up to his promises and our expectation of them, he should be limited to one term. Obama promised that unemployment wouldn't go above 8% and that things would have turned around by now or we should make him a one term president. He hasn't kept his promises and so he needs to be limited to one term. GWBush should have also been limited to one term, but the Democrats threw us a clown that gave GW a second term.

Romney is no clown.

But if he is elected and then screws us over, he should get only one term.......hello Hillary!

The GOP leadership knows that it's a long-shot for them to win the Presidency in 2012. The social wedge issues help them more in state elections than in a federal election. Obstructionism will almost certainly remain their tactic of choice, since their only true goal is regaining power and influence with the K Street gravy train.
