It had to happen sooner or later that the Republican candidates show some distance between themselves and President Bush, and former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney is just the latest. Although one can say it is an attack on President Bush, I think that he is just stating the obvious. A vast majority of Americans feel that the country is on the wrong track. Why, I do not know. But, what makes Mr. Romney so appealling is that he is not appealling to our worst insticnts. He is making a positive appeal in very dangerous times. Reminds me of another ol' Republican who did the same thing named Ronald Reagan. In this way, I see no problem of taking a page from the Gipper's playbook. This is why Mr. Romney will go a long way and more than likely to the GOP nomination.

64 it would seem you are right about americans being disgruntled and my question to you is why? we have a good economy, most are not effected by the iraq war other than the news, they may be mad at the administration over immigration, but for now that is just policy, why the angst?
Please! It's 'Between Him and President Bush'! NOT 'he'.
Political expediency... happens all the time and is probably going to happen with other candidates...
