Comments on: Corker (and Romney) Are Right http://moorethoughts.com/2008/01/31/corker-and-romney-are-right/ Mon, 07 Jul 2008 02:19:29 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Mark Green http://moorethoughts.com/2008/01/31/corker-and-romney-are-right/#comment-195840 Mark Green Fri, 01 Feb 2008 14:47:03 +0000 http://moorethoughts.com/2008/01/31/corker-and-romney-are-right/#comment-195840 Nathan, First let me say that I'm supporting McCain. I think this link below to an article from the WSJ through RCP is the best summary as to why he is best in a race against the Democratic nominee. It gives, in my opinion, what I think is a fair pro and con for both Romney and McCain. Though I have no doubt that on economic policy, Romney is superior in his acumen and expertise, I still think the GOP nomination is going to encompass faith in more. Mort Kondracke (I believe) stated on Fox News Tuesday evening that the Republican base may have moved more to the center in this race and Romney may run out of "the base" to win the states he needs. It could also be that Huckabee is soaking up enough of the base to hurt Romney. It could also be, I suppose, that enough evangelicals, especially veterans, are voting on national security alone. In an event, I think, however you want to define the reasoning, that McCain wins. And the most over riding factor is probably not who has expertise in one area over another, but who can win in November. Just my thoughts. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2008/02/the_mccain_calculus.html Mark Nathan,
