Mitt Romney should be the Republican’s choice to challenge President Obama in 2012. Why?
In my opinion he should have been the choice in 2008. He might actually have won. But at a minimum the debate between Obama and Romney around what is best for America would have started closer to the middle as opposed to on the left and right ideological fringe.
Our country needs a principled centrist debate about real solutions to the real needs and real problems in 2012. The kind where neither side is beholden to focus mostly on issues important only to a nut bag extreme base. This exists on both sides and it is time the left and right of center voices debate and be heard.
Both these men have moderate governance backgrounds demonstrating a willingness to reject their ideological base in favor of solving real problems. Although there might be little evidence of this during the primary season, it would be unavoidable in the general election.
