Don't disagree with you in the least. But the GOP hanging their hat on running solely on the economy and picking Romney for that reason may be a risky proposition. Don't underestimate the ability of the combination of lies from the Oblamer administration and their useful idiot sycophants in the government media resulting in enough of the same mind-numbed Independents that voted for him last time to think things are actually on the mend. Remember, this is an administration that this week went on national TV and stated matter of factly that the reason there has been no budget passed in the Senate is because they need 60 votes. That is an out and out lie. Budgets only need a simple majority in a Senate controlled by Dems and Obama's last budget was soundly defeated on a bipartisan basis. It was that bad as is this one. As long as they are willing to lie to the American people and the government media is complicit you are counting on a lot of people to educate themselves when they are really more interested in watching the X Factor.

And that is why I am undecided. You seem to have decided that this election will hinge solely or at least mostly on the economy. If you are right then I agree that Romney is probably the best candidate and if I were so sure I would support him. But if the economy becomes a lesser issue in the minds of too many voters then you have to wonder what will drive their decision.

Just for the record, I am not supporting Santorum and I have some strong reservations about his ability to beat Obama. But likewise I have strong reservations about just how conservative Romney is and whether he can beat Obama. I am hoping for more clarity over the next couple of weeks before Super Tuesday but I am not optimistic I will get it. Sounds like you are counting on the economy being the number one issue and I hope you are right. But if not, and Romney is the nominee we may all be in for another four years of the Messiah.
