Today's the Florida primary and if the polls are accurate, Mitt Romney is going to win it which could pretty much seal the deal on him winning the nomination. And if he's our nominee, I'll support him as best I can against Barack Obama.
But here's where I see Romney has a huge problem going up against Obama: Romneycare. Romney won't (probably upon advice of his handlers) disavow Romneycare, the health care system he signed into law in Massachusetts when he was governor there. It became the model for Obamacare, right down to the (unconstitutional) individual mandate to buy health insurance.
Since Obamacare is Romneycare writ large, all Romeny can say (and has said) is you can do at the state level what you can't do at the federal level. All Obama has to say to defeat Romney in a debate is "why?" Why if it's okay or even good for the citizens of Massachusetts isn't it okay or good for the whole country. And to that I've yet to hear Romney give a coherent answer. Because he can't. If it's wrong for the federal government to do it, it is wrong for a state government to do it. (Yes, I know that's not true on all matters, i.e., states should setand enforce speed limits but not the federal government).
One of the biggest problems Obama faces is the unpopularity of Obamacare. And Romney won't be able to use that against him because all you need to say to Romney is "Why if it's okay for Massachusettes is it not okay for the U.S.?"
But apparently that's who we're going to have for a nominee unless Newt pulls out a miracle. Which doesn't seem likely. And with Romney as the nominee, we might have four more years of this president who will do everything he can to turn this country into the People's Republic of Amerika.
