The real joke is on the rest of us. After the biggest financial meltdown in 80 years - a meltdown caused by the type of rogue financial manipulation that Romney embodies - and a consequent long, steep drop in the American standard of living, who is the putative front-runner for one of the only two parties allowed to be competitive in American politics? None other than Romney, the man who says corporations are people. Opposing him, or someone like him, will be the incumbent President Barack Obama, who will raise up to a billion dollars to compete in the campaign. Much of that loot will come from the same corporations, hedge fund managers, merger and acquisition specialists and leveraged buyout artists the president will denounce in pro forma fashion during the campaign.

Which is why so many are adamant about Ron Paul. But the problem with Mr.Paul is that he has no solutions, and cannot seem to cheer-lead what is right about America.
Frankly IMO, Gingrich still has a big chance at this, not only is he cuddly, but he is retro, from the world since past; Reaganesque. Which is also his weakness, he is not progressive enough to represent 2012 values.
