This is not a fucking choice! It better not be this match-up.
I have to tell you that I don't love either one of them, but the pool of candidates beyond them isn't great either! A couple of other points here...First and foremost, this thing is FAR from over! Mitt Romney will have a VERY hard time winning any southern states, because guys from my home state of Massachusetts simply don't win in the south. Our ideals and values couldn't be more diametrically opposed to the southern way of living. There is a reason that John F. Kennedy was our last president from the northeast! Also, there is NO way that the Evangelical Christian Bible thumpers of the south will EVER elect a Mormon as president of this country! I saw one of these dopes on the news tonight say "I voted for Mike Huckabee because he's Christian like I am". He didn't say agreed with any of the guy's policies or had any confidence that he was competent to do the job! What a fucking jackass! People like this should be thrown out of the country or at least have their voting privileges revoked!
As for Hillary...don't hand it to her just yet either. Romney crushed McCain and Paul in Nevada (last I looked it was 53% to 13%), but Obama didn't exactly get crushed, so we'll see what happens. It's definitely going to come down to those two candidates, and if they join together on the same ticket, look out! I'll tell you this...There is ZERO chance that ANYONE from the Republican party will get elected, during this upcoming election. When our country is facing the harsh economic times like what we're presently experiencing, on the heels of the Iraq debacle, the present party in power is GUARANTEED to take the hit (and rightfully so, in my opinion)! There will be ZERO mystery and drama to this upcoming election. If the nominee is Obama, he'll win in a landslide. If the nominee is Hillary, it will be a lot closer, just because she has always been such a polarizing figure. That said, she'll still get elected, if she wins the nomination!
