    Now that Romney is the clear frontrunner, with wins in Nevada, Florida, and New Hampshire under his belt, what's next? Gingrich might hold on, but should Romney realistically look toward his general election campaign? What should Obama focus on now that it is likely that the most... potent of moderate leaning Republican candidates is most likely his opponent?

    I think that Obama's biggest challenge would be healthcare reform. Because his is based loosely around Romney's healthcare in Massachusetts, he can't really hold it over Romney's head. He can, however, hold strong in foreign policy, though Guantanamo might come and bite him in the but. Who knows?

    This election will be freaking insane, but I turn 18 before the voting day starts so I will be voting for Obama.

    Yeah, Ron Paul is never going to win. The guy has been running since 1804 and has never even come close.

    Well it's going to be the first time I can vote for President, and so far I plan on voting for Obama.

    Obama wins the end, the only thing that could keep him from winning is if he fucks up with the current Iran issue to the point of nuclear war.

    I love it when people complain about Romney's wealth as a means not to elect him.

    Romney would make a good leader it comes down to ideology.

    That is a highly opinionated statement. I don't want to high jack another thread defending Governor Perry so PM we if you need me to explain my reasoning.

    Perhaps, although I think he has to much love for corporations. Though mitt Romney may take a lose with the hardline Christians in the country with him being a heathen Mormon.

    "Siren" PERRY HATE ALERT! PERRY HATE ALERT!

    Okay okay "Strong" ad defense

    -Rick Perry doesn't hate Gays. Anita has said they have many Gay friends.

    -The only reason the ad was made was to pander to Iowa's Far-Right Crowd. It worked a little.

    -Perry has said that as president, the right of Homosexual marriage will be left to the states. He would give himself no say in the issue.

    Edit: And I don't agree with the message of the ad at all.

    Either way he fucked up with the ad.

    Now if you excuse me I have to go kill my t.v for playing the super bowl 1/2 time show.
