"Super" Tuesday
March 6th 2012 16:44
So here we find ourselves on what is called "Super Tuesday". Am I the only person who does not fell anything "Super" about today but super depressed?
Overall I am not very excited about the candidates. I am not sure whom I will vote for. I know that the one person I will not be voting for is Mitt Romney. Romney is the typical northern Republican. They and the southern Democrats are odd ducks that do not (in my opinion) do not fit with there party. This appears to be changing some for southern Democrats, but not northern Republicans.
What do I mean by this you may ask? Well, one of the things many people dislike about Obama is Obamacare. Romney, a so called Republican, has Romneycare. Neither one are good options in my opinion. The federal government should stay out of this. Many of Romney’s social policies also line up more with Democrats than with Republicans (my view of them anyways). I am not sure what would be worse, Romney or Obama. Romney would not be as extreme as Romney, but he is not a conservative choice. I am not sure that Romney could beat Obama, just for the fact he does not energize the party and voter turnout would likely be low.
What about Newt? Newt overall is good, but he appears to look to the government to fix too many problems. I think with a solid Republican Congress in place, he would very effective and able to turn our country back in the right direction. However, Newt has so much personal baggage it hurts him!! This problem with current/ex-wives is not a benefit for him. Also, what is up with his support of Global Warming? I think he would be a pretty good President if the right Congress (a very strong tea party lead one) were there to help him out. I think he would be an excellent VP for the correct President. I think he could beat Obama, but it will be messy.
Finally, on to Santorum. I am not sure on him. I like what I see, but does he have the ability to win the primary? I am not sure. He seems like he is talking a good talk, but will he be able to beat Obama? I am not sure.
There is no perfect candidate, but it seems like the quality has gone down in recent years. I was too young to remember what it was like when Reagan was elected. Did he energize the population any more than these candidates? Did he show that leadership quality that these candidates don't have?
I guess it comes down to Newt or Rick dropping out so that Mitt will not win the primary. I think that by far Mitt would be the worst decision. Today, Super Tuesday, may decide some of these issues quickly. A major win by Rick or Romney will shut the other out. A major loss by Newt and will he drop out?
I guess we will not know until later on this week. As for me I just have to decide who to vote for.
By the way here is a map of when everyone votes.
