Romney may have led the polls of GOP voters, but this has not, to date, inspired confidence in his abilities on the national stage. After all, when you’re never able to garner more than 25% support in your own party, I would hardly describe that as a robust showing, nationally or otherwise
Your anger at being part of an insane, dysfunctional group of plutocrats is understandable and even credible. Were you a braver soul, you might even join the protests in Oakland, but that would take a level of honesty that eludes you.

You’ve got a point.

I’m still betting on Perry. Mittens isn’t evil enough for the Repub base.

Actually, at several junctures, Bachmann, Perry, or Cain was ahead of him.

Dear Pamela Powers:

Saying that Romney is having a “lackluster showing on the national stage” is completely false. Romney has led the polls for the better part of his presidential run on a national level. He is currently leading the polls in Florida, Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina. If he wins all four of the first states, there is little chance for any other candidate.
Your sullen petulance about being part of the “99%” does nothing to establish credibility. You are welcome to go camp out in Oakland if you feel your views are better represented there.
