I don't see how Romney could win. He's going to start as the front runner and all of the other campaigns have so much to attack him on.
My favorite is from the michigan debate that was supposed to focus on the economy. Romney totally missed it:
It's inexcusable that Michigan is undergoing a one-state recession, that the rest of the country is growing and seeing low levels of unemployment, but Michigan is seeing ongoing, high levels of unemployment, almost twice the national rate.
Ron Paul followed up and correctly claimed the entire country was already in a recession:
"Today, this country is in the middle of a recession for a lot of people. Michigan knows about it. Poor people know about it. The middle class knows about it. Wall Street doesn't know about it. Washington, D.C., doesn't know about it.
But it's because of the monetary system and the excessive spending. As long as we live beyond our means we are destined to live beneath our means.
Romney's supposed expertise on the economy and business can be destroyed based on his statements in the last election cycle.
