Right here, right now, state who you believe will win the Republican nomination and face off against President Obama?
If you are feeling especially cavalier, explain why.
Despite losing the last three primaries, and possibly losing Maine today, I am going with Mitt Romney.
Despite being the best GOP candidate, at least in my opinion, Paul has zero chance of winning the party's nomination. His foreign policy preferences are far too liberal for Republicans to pull the lever for him.
Gingrich appeared strong for the time being, but has rapidly lost appeal. He may rebound slightly, but he has more skeletons than a graveyard. That, coupled with the fact the majority of women will not vote for him, will doom his chances.
Santorum is the wild-card currently. He won Iowa and is currently on a hot streak by winning the last three primaries. However, I do not believe it will last. He makes sense for Republicans by being far more conservative than Romney, but does not have nearly as favorable of a chance at defeating Obama as does Romney. And that, in my opinion, will sway Republicans to give Willard the nod.
Unless something unusual occurs, Mr. Romney will most likely be the GOP nomination.
