I did endorse Romney. He didn't win. Others went with others: Ron Paul, Perky, etc. They didn't win.
I never said Romney would win, only that he was the best candidate.
Now I am saying JB is the best candidate at this juncture. Notice I am not saying I'm endorsing him or supporting him. All I am saying is that he looks to be the next Republican nominee.

"Perky" didn't run in 2012. JB is nowhere near as being the best candidate in 2016. He's a RINO and would lose if he got the R nomination.

Jeb Bush is a Democrat who the "Republican" insiders find just peachy...

By "best" I meant that as of now JB has the "best" chance of getting the nomination.
Time, the opponent, and a campaign will tell if he has the "best" chance of winning.
I am not, at this time, endorsing him. Nor am I presently endorsing any other candidate or putative candidate. When I do endorse a candidate I will post it here first. Standby.

How does JB have the best chance of getting the nomination? Opinion, my boy, opinion; nothing more, nothing less. However if you review my previous political opinions and prognostications you will see that I have seldom, if ever, been wrong. Problem with a lot of people is that what they wish would happen is not what is most likely to happen. And then they personally insult anyone who disagrees.

you'd think a guy that has made his living publishing and working in the literary world wouldn't have so much trouble expressing his written thoughts to give a glimpse of his true personality.
but alas it seems that words fail you miserably Spano
I know of guys on here that I respect that vouch for you.
but the majority of what your posts here reflect is a self inflated, arrogant, condescending type individual.
which almost always is a measure of the person affecting such as deep feeling of inadequacy.
pity either way, that either your words don't here don't reflect the man you truly are
or the greater pity that they indeed do.
happy Easter to you.
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

Anyone can hold their finger in the breeze to see which way the wind is blowing even without "peeps"...This country is ready for another conservative POTUS, the question is what are we willing to do to make this happen...

See what I mean? Don't dispute what is said, just call the sayer names and all will be right.
Again, can anyone point to any of my political opinions and/or prognostications where I have been wrong? Please try to do so without using childish language. Use your grownup words.

Your opinion might be as good or better than mine. Time will tell.
I cannot recall ever being wrong in political opinions and prognostications I have posted here, but that's just being humble.

Actually, just like Romney, Jeb will get the nomination unless people stand up NOW and support somebody else. Spanky puts a lot of pride in "being right" about Romney last election. I am the one that said he would lose if he was nominated. I say the same thing about Bush. It's not hard to see the trend. Approximately 3.5 million conservatives have not voted in each of the past three presidential elections. 12 million people that didn't bother because they don't believe one politician is any different than the other, and that they are all bad. The people who didn't vote before, won't do it next time either, unless a conservative is cast as the nominee. These guys who wish these voters will adjust are just as clueless as the other "Hope and Change" guys. Berating the people who refuse to vote for more of the same is a foolish and futile effort, because without them, you cannot win. Give them something they like, or lose. Again.
The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.

My beef is "open primaries" in some states. Where D's can vote for the R then go back the next day to being a D. I think the states that have that need to change the law,but it won't happen any time soon. Think South Carolina and Michigan are two that come to mind. New Mexico primary is not until the first Tuesday in June,by that time the R nominee is chosen. Wish NM would make the primary much earlier,again not very likely.

I think Texas may actually get to influence the outcome of the primaries in 2016 if they succeed in moving up the date of the voting.
