US Republicans should do the world a favour
March 12th, 2010
I know it is not how it works in the US, but Republicans should just settle on Romney as the de facto opposition leader. From Politico:
Mitt Romney is the early favorite for the 2012 Republican Presidential nomination among the party’s voters in Colorado and Florida. Romney also led recent polls in New Mexico and Texas, and was second behind Mike Huckabee in both Georgia and North Carolina. Sarah Palin has not had the lead in any of the six states we’ve polled over the last month.
Sarah Palin is Obama for Republicans.

Regardless of who is chosen as the Republican nomination, I think that unseating the incumbant is going to be tough. Public sentiment has turned somewhat against Obama, but not enough, I think, to justify a change of government. It’ll be based on what the state of the US is in 2012 that will give the best indicators of if the Republicans can win.
