Mitt Romney continues to run in the wrong primary

First there was the global warming incident, which was stupid of him to open his mouth, now there is this. This guy is the most Obama like GOP candidate there is.

He may be very smart to do this. I think there is sizeable segment of moderate Republicans who long for a return to the party's fiscally responsible roots (which is not represented by any of the other candidates with their pie in the sky supply-side demagoguery for the rich) and who are completely turned off by the holier-than-thou, know-nothing stance of all the other whack jobs in the GOP (to quote my FIL, who now considers himself a lapsed Republican: "I did not leave my party. My party left me.")

Obama's policies would have positioned him as a Republican 30 years ago. We don't care too much for his pussy-footing, but Romney appears to be the only potentially decent alternative on the right given the staggering problems this country is facing.

Romney is the GOP's Crown Prince and he is probably the best candidate to run against Obama because he can garner the moderate Independent vote; if a right-wing religious candidate runs as an Independent then the GOP splits and Obama is reelected. As an Independent, I hope Romney is nominated.
