Romney Came To Fight.

  Well, I watched the GOP presidential debate last night. What can I say Governor Mitt Romney,  had a good night. He took some good advice and hired a new debate coach. You could tell in the Governor's debate performance that his presentation was much improved. The conventional wisdom is,  that Governor Romney,  will probably win the Florida Primary. There is no doubt that Governor Romney, has an obvious political advantage because of  his great wealth. He has been campaigning now for at least four  years now and he has campaign  head quarters in every state. Governor Romney,  has been able to do this because he doesn't have to depend solely on campaign contributions. I would stop short of saying that Governor Romney,  can buy the GOP nomination because, Florida's voters,  will make the final decision  but, let's be honest, if  you have basically, unlimited wealth you can place more negative adds, you will have much more name recognition. No doubt,  you have better political connections then most of the other candidates, so it seems clear to me that Florida voters,  will more than likely, vote for  Governor  Romney.
  Some, will see this as somewhat unfair because all of the other candidates do not have Governor Romney's financial advantages. I must admit, I often wonder,  what a political primary campaign would be like if, every candidate had the same amount of financial backing, negative adds were not permitted to be used and each candidate,  was equally well known. I suppose then,  all that would matter are the issues and who could best deal with them. Perhaps,  then, a person's personal  character would truly,  matter
  Okay, now back to political reality, all political candidates will never be equal. You might as well wish for a perfect world right? I would offer those who wish to vote for Governor Romney, one word of caution. Governor Romney, had a good debate performance last night,  and he will most likely win the Florida Primary,  and perhaps even the GOP nomination considering,  the next four or five primaries will be in states that Governor Romney,  won in 2008. To put it bluntly, Governor Romney,  better have a great night every time he has a debate with President Obama, because, if  he doesn't, if  he he should stumble even once, President Obama,  will take full political advantage of  any verbal blunder Governor Romney, might make in a debate. President Obama , like Governor Romney, has access, to unlimited wealth,  and various political connections. Should Governor Romney,  become the GOP nominee,  and many say, that now,  seems likely, he better bring his A game when he has a debate with President Obama, because if  he doesn't,  that may just be,  all that President Obama,  needs to win his bid,  for another term as president,  and that, would be a disastrous! as always, my friends, these thoughts remain just some words to think on.
