    President 2012: George Will, Michael Dukakis and Mitt Romney – The Pretzel Candidate

    George Will’s column is now posted.

    Pretty brutal stuff…..

    George Will “Romney is the Republican Party’s Michael Dukakis”

    I wrote a few weeks ago why the Republican Party should NOT settle for Mitt Romney without eyes wide open.

    George Will in a preview of this Sunday’s column drives the point home.

    Romney, supposedly the Republican most electable next November, is a recidivist reviser of his principles who is not only becoming less electable, he might damage GOP chances of capturing the Senate: Republican successes down the ticket will depend on the energies of the tea party and other conservatives, who will be deflated by a nominee whose blurry profile in caution communicates only calculated trimming. Republicans may have found their Michael Dukakis, a technocratic Massachusetts governor who takes his bearings from ‘data’ … Has conservatism come so far, surmounting so many obstacles, to settle, at a moment of economic crisis, for THIS?

    I, frankly, think there needs to be another candidate to face off against Mitt Romney in the upcooming primary elections. Mitt may win the nomination with the current field but, despite what the poll says today, will lose to President Obama.

    Mitch Daniels, Rudy Giuliani or Mike Huckabee are all capable POLS who SHOULD challenge him. There should be an immediate DRAFT effort.

    If the GOP were to nominate Romney anyway, then there you go. Don’t blame me for the epic loss to Obama and the failure to win back the U.S. Senate.

    But, Republican voters really should have more choices.
