mitt romney the straw that will break the elephant...

cnn reports that mitt romney is the 2012 frontrunner according to the straw polls. my question is why? he bailed out f the '08 primary way too early and he had better campaign financing than mcquitter at the time romney left. bobby jindal is second. however i don't think he has what it will take to beat an obama second term run or a possible hillary run. according to media reports his gop response to obama's state of the union address wasn't well received. ron paul coming in third, doesn't have the voter base to win the gop nomination, even though some of his ideas are good; less government, lower taxes, which are strong gop points to use against the dems if we get to an election in '12. however some of his ideas are radical like abolishing fbi, cia, federal income tax according to wikipedia. the other factor is his age by '12 he will be 77 yrs old. some people thought mccain was too old at 72 to run for president. sarah palin, finished fourth behind paul. i truly believe every politician, both gop and democrat are terribly afraid of palin. and therefore the media is still out to sabotage her political career to keep her far from d.c. i think she will say what she means and means what she says and if given the opportunity will clean washington like she did in alaska. we need a candidate that will be honest, and actually is a conservative and follows the constitution. we need to weed out the moderates like arlen specter, nancy collins, olympia snowe and john mccain. as well as the 40% of republicans that bought into the democratic spending spree. we have to set aside politics and support people who hold on to our core values as americans. may God bless and guide america. and may we have a country left in 4 yrs.
