Hail Brigham Young!

As you may know, I have boarded the Romney train. I do agree that he looks a little plastic in some of the debates, but, he seems to overall be the best candidate in a series of mediocres. As far as the most recent debate goes, it seems like Huckabee answered his questions in the best way, and he looks pretty comfortable and I enjoy listening to him. I would not enjoy him as president and would probably rate him as 4th on my nominee list for reasons of domestic policy, because social issues aren't enough anymore, I got that with the current president and nothing else, and it feels unsatisfactory. McCain is a tool, and I shall never, ever vote for him, neither in a primary nor in a general. Bucked conservatives too many times, sold himself out to the media years ago and his strong qualities notwithstanding, he would not make a strong candidate, even if the establishment media says so. He can be SecDef if he must join the executive branch. Thompson is the most curious candidate. He appears conservative, but his alliance with the Baker/Nixon/GHW Bush wing of the party is very concerning. I can't stand the realists-yes you Condi Rice-but nevertheless it is hard not to like Thompson when I hear him speak. I would rate him as 2. Guiliani is, of course, dead to me, and Ron Paul is an embarassment. However, I did find some of the FoxNews questions towards Paul were ridiculously unfair and hostile. And Ron Paul doesnt' have his Republican party history just right and for him to assert that the US "cannot afford" certain things on a 2.5 trillion dollar budget is absurd. Our spending rampage is another matter, but the implications that Paul has in his rhetoric is seemingly ridiculous, in my view.
