Ah, well, that's settled...

Everyone else should just drop out now.  I mean, McCain and Obama have won the coveted Dixville Notch vote.

Yep.  This race is over.

Americans want change in Washington, there's no doubt about that.

But try as they will to convince voters that they're the candidate for change, it seems obvious to me that candidates who are already firmly entrenched Washington insiders are NOT the ones who will make those changes.

It's exactly that insider same old, same old "experience" so many of the candidates tout that most Americans want to get rid of.

WASHINGTON CANNOT FIX WASHINGTON!

Mitt Romney makes a telling comment:

“People who have been there all their careers don’t begin to have the freedom of movement and the capacity to change Washington. They’ve got lobbyists at every elbow, the deals have been worked out in the Senate cloakrooms are just so overwhelming – the scores that have to be settled, all of the favors that have to honored. You just can’t get the job done in Washington with people that have been in Washington all their lives. So people are saying you know what? We need change.”

To me it seems perfectly clear that the most qualified outsider candidate, the one who is most likely to make real change in Washington, is Mitt Romney.

Romney's MBA and Doctorate from Harvard, his proven record of success in making the right executive decisions time after time, and his lifetime devotion to the family values cherished by most Americans demonstrate clearly that he's the man for the Whitehouse.

I think it's time for Americans to unite behind that man - he's head and shoulders above ALL the other candidates.

Romney's "doctorate" from Harvard is actually a law degree - and he has demonstrated a personal lack of ability to make decisions based on law on his own. For instance, when asked about using his power as Commander in Chief to strike an enemy, he said he would have to consult with the lawyers.

Even before I went to law school, I understood the basic principle that in a crisis situation the President can order a military strike in defense of the nation without the need to talk to lawyers or wait for an act of Congress.

Mitt? Not so much.

That said, I do think Mitt is a good guy and would be a far better leader than any of the democrats. If he is the nominee, I will support him. But he is not my first, or even second choice. In fact, I wouldn't even call him third.

Thompson and Giuliani have what it takes to lead us in time of war AND give me confidence they will govern as conservatives. John McCain might not be very conservative where it counts, but at least he would be a stalwart defender of the nation during our war on terror. Mitt? Well... at least I think he would be a good manager and would get some good things done on the domestic front - but that's about it.

Still, far better than a socialist witch who would sell us out to our enemies and turn the homefront into a welfare state...
