Romney: Not the best candidate but the best we've got

April 05, 2012

Unfortunately there are better candidates than Mitt Romney for the GOP nomination, but they all appear to be waiting for 2016 when they will not have to run against an incumbent president while hoping for a repeat of the 2000 election when George Bush won. The GOP should be happy, and I am glad for your endorsement of the individual who through prior experience is best qualified among the candidates to be president, and certainly that is Mitt Romney, and not individuals who have extreme views or are the subject of scandals ("For Romney," April 1).

It is unfitting for the Republican candidates to attack each other when a sitting Democratic president has so many negatives. Better that the Republican campaign funds be used for winning the election rather than the primaries, but individual ego always seems to come into play.
