He tackled the health care issue without raising taxes and without expanding government and he did it with a legislature that had a supermajority of the opposit party. His resume on problem solving surpasses any in the race and is the main reason (COMPETENCE!!! SOMETHING WE DESPERATELY NEED)that I have hoped on board with him. We really need someone who looks at the problem from all angles, that doesn't just delegate and not question. After Bush, Romney is our man. Romney is amazing.

In order for a Republican to win the election, they need to nominate someone with some charisma. That narrows the crowd down to Giuliani and McCain. While Ron Paul is the Republican that stands out to me (and 55% of CNN.com visitors, it appears...), I like some of the rhetoric I hear from some of the other candidates. However, I really don't think that the Democrats have anything to fear in Romney. McCain and Giuliani are the only real threats, as they are the only two Republican candidates that are going to be able to draw some moderate Republicans and independents back to the party. Also, you might want to file this under "health care" instead of "healt care", it is going to be quite difficult to find in the coming months.

You bet, the Dems fear Romney. Why do you think two questions (his Mormon faith and use of Spanish language) specifically targeted him? He always does fine, though. Keep an eye on him.

Be afraid, be very afraid. Mitt is the only Republican who has made any effort to solve the health care crisis in our country. He's courageous and innovative. That's why, as a disenchanted ex-Republican, I will only show up to vote in '08 if Mitt Romney is on the ballot. Arianna is absolutely right. Be afraid, be very afraid.
