Romney will not lead the GOP in 2012

Despite what CNN may tell you, Mitt Romney will not lead the GOP.  Why?  Because the Republican Party is now the party for southern, white, elderly, Christians (and certain acceptable Jews for them like Joe Lieberman, sometimes.  Except he's a bit too "liberal" for them despite supporting Iraq and wanting to ban all violence from TV).

So, Mitt is rich, he's white, he's not young.  But he's not Southern.  That can probably be overcome, but his biggest problem is that he's not a Christian, he's a Mormon.  Now, to me, its all the same thing.  Jesus, Mohammamed, Yahweh, Brigham Young, whatever.  Same roots, same underlying religion.  But not to Sarah Palin and Bobby Jindal.  Mitt might as well be a Buddhist monk to them.  And the same applies to the Republican Party's constituents, who are now mostly southern, white, elderly, Christians.

So long Mitt!

A lot of people don't like Mormons and the South was pissed that Romney was against the Rebel Flag. I still think he's pretty good as well as Bobby Jindal.
