Mitt and Newt

Mitt wins Florida big and looks to have big lead in GOP presidential candidate race.

But Newt isn't finished, not by a long shot. Romney is not acceptable to far right conservatives; he's too moderate, and even liberal, sometimes.

A lady called Rush Limbaugh expressing disappointment at Newt for his marital history, because otherwise he has virtue; he's a good debater and can explain conservatism.

Rush pointed out that both candidates (Mitt n Newt) have resume items which must be overlooked by republican voters. And indeed they do.

Mitt's moderate Mormonism might not play too well with the conservative republican base, and Newt's marital history is not what the socially conservative republican base is looking for.

Mitt or Newt, the republicans will have a flawed candidate to send up against Obama, whose only flaw is his record, which he can defend, and which looks better as the economy improves.

Obama can claim to be the true champion of capitalism, the president who did something when something had to be done, the president who works for the little guy and does what it takes to solve problems, like health care and big time corporate financial bail outs.

Between now and the general election, he'll probably talk a lot about bringing the deficit and the national debt down, because that is the key issue now, the white elephant in the room.

For now, Obama is content to watch Mitt n Newt battle it out.
