Mitt Romney for President? Maybe

Okay, Earl, I've read the memo. I know that Sarah Palin's not going to become President Palin. I'd hate to go out on a limb here, but she's probably not going to garner the GOP nomination, either, though I'm sure she'll show up at the convention and do something memorable. She's just that way.

Methinks that Mitt Romney is going to get the GOP nomination and may even become our next president if the following terms and conditions are met:

1.) If the economy continues to plummet,
2.) If the job market continues to plummet,
3.) If the illegal immigrant population continues to rise.

Obama's a genius at fundraising and self-promotion, but according to the world of Saunders, "poli," the root word of politician, means throwing many expensive fundraising dinners and being a master self-promoter. Arnold was good at it, too, and so was Antonio, though we've all seen where that's gotten us. The lowest bond rating in the country, a raging illegal immigration problem, one illegitimate child, a partridge in a pear tree and an ex-governor who wants to get back into movies.

Given the dangerous precipice we are on, we may be rife for a Republican takeover, if there are any normal ones out there, and it could just be Mitt Romney. Why not? He'd look good in official photos, and he's got good conservative values that hopefully won't seep into Tea Party country over time. Besides, in some ways he was right when he said that the economy has gone from bad to worse since Obama took over. But the proof is in the pudding, as they say. Just look at the recent housing market report. It sent the stock market plummeting and on the day I planned on cashing in on my 403 B plan, no less. If the Republicans put up a strong candidate, they just may take the prize home, and Sarah Palin will eventually get a job at Goldman-Sachs or be reduced to a Wikipedia entry and more Tina Fey SNL skits.
