Hope the CPAC attendees keep this in mind when they vote in the straw poll...

Written by Mona Charen, Dec. 2007:
Pretty much every election year since I can remember, a complaint has arisen that goes like this: “Why are we stuck with these awful choices? In this vast country of highly successful individuals, why don’t any of the best people run for president?”

It is difficult to find any significant weakness in Romney. He is refreshingly articulate, exceedingly well prepared and self-disciplined, clearly an excellent manager with both private and government experience, happily married with a large, supportive family, and well within the mainstream of conservatism on every major issue. His nomination would not divide the base.

He is just the sort of candidate people complain that they never get.

Straw poll
results Saturday 4:30
...the annual CPAC Straw Poll, in which conference attendees will vote on which politician should win the Republican presidential nomination in 2012. The results to be released on Saturday, but balloting at the conference has already begun.
