Mitt Romney in the catbird seat right now, it seems

Right this moment--and it's a long way from 2012, I'll grant you--it seems like Mitt Romney can do no wrong.

First, I saw a week or two ago how the Republican Party is looking at Salt Lake City for its convention that year.

That just screams "Mitt!", since he's Mormon and that's their promise land, so to speak.

Second, as of last weekend and the wierd, hypocritical meeting that was the Southern Republican Leadership Conference, straw poll showing Mitt on top.


Adding to the fact that he's "presidential handsome" and worth approximately a quarter of a billion dollars, he at least has a good chance right now of being the Republican Party's next presidential candidate.

But it's one heck of a long way to 2012, as we all know.

Funny side note: Sarah Palin was the number 3 popular candidate in this poll, behind Ron Paul.

Man, I love the nutjobs.
