why the hell did i think you said Diabetes in the title? =/

Yeah, I think Romney has the best shot.  I just think Romney is Republican John Kerry. 

Too bland, too boring and looks too much like Frankenstein / That creepy Head/ beheaded body in reanimator.

If Obama loses i'd rather not have to deal with constant "RACISM" cries that would probably persist for the rest of, forever, since racism at this point is often a matter of subjectivness.

A middle income household making between about $64,000 and $110,000 would get hit with an average tax increase of about $4,300, lowering its after-tax income by more than 6 percent and increasing its average federal tax rate (including income, payroll, estate and its share of the corporate income tax) from 18.8 percent to 23.7 percent. By contrast, a taxpayer in the top 0.1% (who makes more than $2.7 million) would enjoy an average tax cut of nearly$1.4 million, increasing his after-tax income by nearly 27 percent.

no real republican will vote for Romney which is why his numbers will never go higher than 25 to 30 %.  The only republicans that currently support him are North Eastern Republican who really are more democrat in their thinking.  Real Republicans should support Ron Paul as he is the only canidadte that will actually cut spending the way real republicans want it.  A vote for Perry or Romney is no different than a vote for Obama.  Will spend too much and will continue to let our young men and womed die in a useless desert.

PDF...you obviously are not well educated in today's political spectrum. There is very little difference between dems and repubs in the greater political universe. Ron Paul is far closer to what a real Republican is but keep in mind that a real Republican is closer to libertarian than the current party.

But just to make this clear...Romney and Perry are not Republicans.

You want evidence? Look at the laws passed by both parties in the past 10 years:

• Who passed more federal education requirements via No Child Left Behind? Who authored the bill? Who ratified it?
• Who passed more federal health care via Medicare Part D? Who authored it? Who signed it into law?
• Who passed the Patriot Act?

The reality is that the dichotomy between Obama and Bush isn't as far as you'd think. Obama is about as pro-war as Bush is, with a little bit more leftist economic policies. But the chasm is not as far as you'd think.

Go take a look at PoliticalCompass.org's chart of US & European leaders. They do a great job scoring all candidates on where they actually stand in opposition to one another. McCain was only about 1.5pts away from the center of the Democrat nominees.

Compatatively, then you have guys like Mike Gravel, Dennis Kucinich, and Ron Paul who are actual ideologues that are likely better representatives of what politics should be - something that isn't always center-right or right.

Oh, shocker:

Herman Cain said on Piers Morgan's show last night that he is pro-choice.

I think he needs to clarify what he was saying, but if you watch the video he said earlier that his personal beliefs are 100% pro life in any circumstance and that life begins at conception, but he appears to have taken a position of no government involvement in the matter.

Right. And if your stance is no government involvement, that'd qualify him as pro-choice.
