Although Mitt Romney seems like a perfect fill for Guiliani and Mc Cain's weak support from conservative and social base, I don't see him winning because of: 1) weak understanding of foreign policies and national security. need to polish it big time...it's the major agenda after 9/11 no doubt! 2) being a mormon (hate to say this but his belief in it would prove to be a major hindrance for a win for sure) My picks as of now would be: 1) Rudolph Guiliani: the only thing is, being a social liberal, he needs to win favor from social conservatives but his stern stance on national security will be liked by many. 2) John McCain: same as Guiliani in many respects, perhaps more experienced and learned than Guiliani. Age could be a debacle for him though. as much as I would love to see a revolutionary change, i don't see Obama or Clinton winning :-( LooTe
