Is the one who is Pro & Con flip-flopping on Romney?

ProConPundit backing away from some of his previous vitriol toward Romney? Nah. While I have been a tad harsh on the Romster, I do think he may have a wining strategy of racking up second place finishes among different first place victors, along with winning one now and then.

Both parties have real challenges in nominating someone competent to lead this nation. The ominous twist in the economy underscores the importance of having the best person while, perhaps, causing us to be sure our priorities are well placed. For the GOP, obviously, I think McCain is the best person given all of our challenges. I am hard pressed to name a second choice on the GOP. I believe I’d have to rule the Huckster out all together. I think his track record on fiscal management is fuzzy (not to be confused with Al Gore’s math) and he is somewhere between deplorable and a moron on foreign policy. I think Romney would have to get a thumbs up on fiscal experience but everything else about him has either changed or is said to talk tough. That leaves Rudy. Hmm. More later.

On the Democratic side, they have backed themselves into a real mess. Barack Obama is the first person since Bobby Kennedy to truly being hope and promise to the Democratic Party. He is, by any reasonable assessment, not experienced enough to lead this country given our current challenges at home and abroad. There is John Edwards, who Rush Limbaugh (not someone the ProConPundit finds helpful) calls "The Brett Girl." Edwards can’t pull it off. If he could, how good do you rate his experience? That leaves the Clinton’s. The Democrats have a problem in that the most qualified person remaining in the primary is someone 45% of the country will not vote for under any circumstances.

Can you say B-L-O-O-M-B-E-R-G ?
