Who has a better chance of winning with Obama?

[Martinus]

This is not a question about who would get nominated or who you would vote for, but who do you think has a better chance to win with Obama if he was nominated.

[DGuller]

Zero for both, because I just don't see either one ever running with Obama.  I don't see any Republican running with Obama, for that matter.

[MadImmortalMan]

Assuming you mean running against Obama, Romney IMO.

I would think Romney, but there's an outside chance that the narrative of Perry's magical stewardship of the Texas economy could gain traction with swing voters.

My bet would be Romney too but that's why I split the vote for Americans and non-Americans as I wondering if that perception may be different "on the ground". It seems that so far the perception is similar.

I think Romney would be more palatable to independents, simply because they might not believe all the whacky things he says to court the Republican primary voters.  Ultimately, Perry will turn out to be Sarah Palin with a penis, and someone who can scare enough people into having some sense in the voting booth.

Well, the people elected Bush junior. The question is if they have forgot by now.

Bush Jr. was elected when the country was at its high and feeling invincible, and wanted to test the limits of its invincibility.  The situation was entirely different in 2008, and will be much the same in 2012.

Bush Jr is a likable sort of guy with a sunny disposition; he ran on a platform of inclusiveness and "compassionate conservatism".

Perry is none of these things.

This. Me starting to like Perry.
Is he anti-semite?

Bush The Younger was the best President since Reagan.

...What in that post is pro-Perry?

Bush Jr. is a socialist compared to Perry.

Personally I prefer Perry to Romney, given Romney's history of dog abuse and general weirdness.  I think they seem to balance each other out as general election candidates.
