So, does Mitt Romney have a Tea Party problem? It’s easy to imagine that conservative small-government activists would be sour on the former governor, whose leadership in liberal Massachusetts yielded legislation characterized by compromise and front-page photos shared with a grinning Ted Kennedy. Romney’s support of the Obamacare-resembling Massachusetts health care law, his onetime embrace of abortion rights, and his coiffed New England image have earned him slaps from foes -- recently from the likes of former Gov. Tim Pawlenty and the anti-tax group Club for Growth. But a peek into the most recent NBC/WSJ pollindicates that Romney’s favorability among Tea Party backers is fairly strong, and a plurality of them would support Romney for the GOP nomination.

(laughing) Excluding Ron Paul, any of the GOP candidates could beat Owe-bama. Its the economy, stupid.
Proxy IP's are amusing.....lmao
You've got it bassakwards, Ron is the only one who can beat hObama. Any other GOP nominee indicates that the Republicans want four more years of whining about hObama. IMO they'd rather lose, than nominate a conservative. The GOP elites are in the bag for the globalist banksters, same as the dems.
Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
ROTFLMAO....... That's about as stupid as the one I heard about Palin. She isn't electable, but whoever gets the GOP nomination must get her blessing if they have a chance of beating Obozo!!!!!! (what a crock of shit, more liberal disinformation)..... The only people that support him are Liberals, cause they know he's not electable....

rotflmao. Ron Paul couldn't get elected dog catcher outside of his weird district. You want a prime example of why? Look at his answer in the last debate about world currency's, and the IMF.
