George H. W. Bush: Mitt Romney Would Make A 'Very Good President'

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/11/24/george-h-w-bush-mitt-romney_n_787617.html

Former President George H.W. Bush appeared to give an early presidential endorsement to Mitt Romney Monday, when he told CNN's Larry King in an interview that he thought he would be a strong candidate and good leader.

"He's a reasonable guy," George Bush said of Romney. "He's a conservative fellow, that's good. But no, I think he'd be a good president, a very good president."

Bush continued:

"If you asked me, who will the nominee be, I couldn't tell you. We like Mitt Romney. We know him well and like him very much."

George H.W. Bush's son, Jeb, had also been floated as a potential contender in 2012, but the former president and his wife played down any possible immediate aspirations from the former Florida governor. Their willingness to support another likely candidate, perhaps the strongest at this time according to a recent Quinnipiac poll, may signify that Jeb Bush really isn't considering a run.

1. Mitt is the choice of the old party stalwarts, the business class.

He's also totally unelectable with the rabid fundie rethug base, because he's a mormon.

2. But his magic underwear will save him

3. Not from skid marks.

7. The Mormon issue is dead

It doesn't hurt him at all, what hurts him is he's a shape-shifting establishment goon. Mike Lee of Utah is a Mormon and would have zero problem winning tea bagger votes.

Mormon is the new Catholic. At one time the right wouldn't embrace it, but they don't care anymore.

4. The corporate wing of the GOP loves Mormons

But the Babtists might not vote for him.

5. A very good puppet. That's what GHW Bush likes in a president.

That's what Reagan was. Bush Sr. was essentially the president for 12 years.

8. Reagan started off as his own man

But he became a puppet after the assassination attempt in 1981. Hmm.

6. A Mormon?

You've got to be freakin kidding me; We would never elect a Mormon as president.
