Race To Be President

We are in the middle of the weirdest nomination process I ever saw. What started out as a group of about a dozen men and women has ended up with four. A group which does not look very presidential and as for their skills at debating, well just terrible. These men seem to be without a team of advisers. Every person has made crucial mistakes and the leader changes with the next mistake.

It would appear that the two front runners will eventually spar for the prize. The old lad who has not got a chance of winning  will stay till the end and then transfer his votes to the leader. This person, Mr. Paul, is intelligent and humorous and a crowd pleaser but very few people take him seriously. He  is also tied to Mitt Romney as his son was set up in business by Romney. Paul never criticizes Romney and I am sure they will be a team.

Santorum came right out of nowhere and is the person to watch. He had little money at first and few followers but his work on the debates changed all that. He would be a dangerous person to be president with his values. He is extreme right wing conservative and his religion is worn on his sleeve. He is anti union which undermines women's rights but appeals to the tea party.

Religion and moral issues are up front. Two of the four are RC, one is Mormon and the other is Baptist. All the  issues are on points unrelated to what people have on their minds; jobs and the economy. As the race goes on there is almost a sense that the Republicans will field a weak possible President. I sense that many of the people are just so turned off by the negative advertisement that they just don't care. Personally I love to watch the race but this one is like no other and we could possibility be in for a new candidate entering the race. Whatever happens America is in need of sound leadership and I hope the  election solves that problem.
