Mitt Romney

Out of all the candidates in the republican race, well, minus Huntsman, the only one I don't outright fear being president is Willard "Mitt" Romney. Santorum, Gingrich, Perry, Paul and Bachmann scared the living hell out of me with the prospect of what they would do to the country.  Huntsman, well, he was pretty smart and pretty tame, his flat tax is a horrible idea, but that's not likely to be implemented.  However, Mitt Romney doesn't really scare me that much.  Watching Romney over the last 5 years or so as well as clips of him from when he was the Governor of Massachusetts it is pretty clear that he is not conservative, he is not moderate, he is a reflection of opinion polls.  So in the end, he is not going to lay waste to the government, partly because of the separation of powers but mostly because the country is not the 5% of conservatives who shout over the rest of the country.  People are a hodgepodge of political stances, some conservative, some liberal.  People are the middle.  In the end, nothing drastic will ever come out of Mitt Romney's administration.  He will have no leadership, he will just be there, watching the polls, trying to stay afloat.
