Well, what can I say? Governor Mitt Romney, took six out of the six state GOP primaries or caucuses last night.While I realize the voters in the primaries or caucuses cast their own votes and made their own choices I still come a way with a feeling that Governor Romney, at least in a sense bought his votes more than he necessarily earned them. I'm not really suggesting the Governor Romney, actually bought any votes but let's be honest when as a candidate you have the financial ability to out spend an opponent in some cases as much as six to one you have to say that all but guarantees Governor Romney, an obvious advantage.
Advantage or not however, Governor Romney, had a great night, I just can't help but wonder what would have happened if each candidate could have had the ability to spend the same amount of money in the campaign. That is a question one will never know the answer to. Senator Rick Santorum, did almost as well as Governor Romney, and he didn't spend nearly half as much money as Governor Romney, did. Speaker Newt Gingrich, won his home state of Georgia, but many are beginning to suggest that he should withdraw from the race. Under other circumstances he might have but I think he wants to see if he can win enough delegates in future states and perhaps make a last ditch effort at the Republican convention at Tampa in August. I will admit, that is an incredible long shot but if any one could do it perhaps Speaker Gingrich, could. The bad blood between Speaker Gingrich, and Governor Romney, has been boiling for sometime now. Senator Santorum, has made it quite clear he is no fan of Governor Romney. Why Congressman Ron Paul chooses to say in the race is a question that only he and God know the answer to. Thus far, God doesn't seem to want to grant Congressman Paul, any miracles but it would take a miracle for Congressman Paul to win now.
So, where do we go from here? I don't know. The Republican establishment, has all but given the nomination to Governor Romney, and I must admit he has all the advantages. The nations economy seems to be what matters most to many of the American people and I guess, they seem to think a wealthy man who has great skill in running corporations and making money will know how to revive America's struggling economy. However, Mighty Mitt, going to have a great deal to fix in addition to the nations economy. Governor Romney, must balance the nations budget, ease European fears of a global economic collapse, Strengthen the nations weaken military defences, deal with the nuclear threat in Iran and at the same time convince Israel to wait a bit longer, he will have to try to repeal Obama care if the Supreme Court, doesn't declare it unconstitutional when they hear the case in May or June, and in his spare time he will have to bring down soaring gas prices and keep a lid on inflation. Should Governor Romney, become our President he will have his hands full and after four years of President Obama's failed government policies, I don't think most Americans, will be in the mood to be patient for too long. Americans, will more than likely, expect results within six months after Mitt Romney takes office.
Before all of this however, Governor Romney, has to beat President Obama, a task which will be anything but easy. President Obama, has the power of the media, and a limitless supply of money, and an army of committed liberals who would almost die for him just to get him reelected. I wonder sometimes though, is financial prosperity all that most Americans really care about? I hope not. There is nothing wrong with wanting America, to be prosperous but Americans, might want to seek the wisdom and blessing of God, first, since God, has always been the true source of America's blessings up to now. Should Americans decide they no longer need to do this, then I must tell you there is a thought that feels my soul with terror, what if God, should decide he is finished with America? Many in America particularly in the areas of America's culture and government, have been finished with God, for a long time now. What if God, should decide that America, as a nation deserves, another four years of President Obama? I must confess to you that thought, has often led to many sleepless nights. as always my friends,these thoughts remain, just , some words to think on.
