Well, less then 48 hours till game day . . . yeah I am not talking about the Super Bowl either. By the way, who won?
Mitt is gaining in some polls and Sean Hannity recently endorsed him, since Rudy and Thompson dropped out.
Check out this link about the worse possible scenario if you do the math for Romney:

Mitt Bio:
Governor Romney has been an effective leader in both the business and public service worlds. With the 2002 Winter Olympics mired in controversy and facing serious financial crisis, Governor Romney was asked to become President and CEO of the Salt Lake Organizing Committee. Although the challenge seemed daunting, he was compelled to assume the task by both the urgings of his wife, Ann, and by the memory of his father, George Romney, who had been a successful businessman, three-term Michigan Governor and tireless advocate of volunteerism.
In his three years in Salt Lake, Governor Romney erased the $379 million operating deficit, organized 23,000 volunteers, galvanized community spirit, oversaw and unprecedented security mobilization to ensure public safety and led one of the most successful Olympics in our country’s history.
From 1978 to 1984, Mr. Romney was a Vice President of Bain & Company, Inc., the Boston-based management consulting firm. Later, as the company’s CEO, he led it through a highly successful turnaround. Today, Bain & Company has 25 offices worldwide and over 2000 employees.
In 1984, Mr. Romney founded Bain Capital, one of the nation’s most successful venture capital and investment companies. Bain Capital founded, acquired or invested in hundreds of companies including Staples, Bright Horizons Family Solutions, Domino’s, Sealy, Brookstone, and The Sports Authority.
Governor Romney has been deeply involved in community and civic affairs, serving extensively in his church and numerous charities including City Year, the Boy Scouts, and the Points of Light Foundation. In 1994, Governor Romney was the Massachusetts Republican nominee for United States Senate.
Governor Romney received his BA with Highest Honors from Brigham Young University in 1971. In 1975, he was awarded and MBA from Harvard Business School and was named a Baker Scholar. In 1975, he also received his Juris Doctorate, cum laude, from Harvard Law School.
Governor Romney, 60, and his wife, Ann, have been married for 37 years. They have five sons Tagg, Matt, Josh, Ben, and Craig), five daughters-in-law (Jen, Laurie, Jen, Mary, and Andelyne) and ten grandchildren

Tom,
The Giants won in a great defensive game. It was good to see Eli Manning get a Super Bowl ring and the MVP award just like his big brother.
I got your email, and yes, I am shocked....I thought is this the same Tom Barker I know? I didn't think your California laid back-ness, cared about this kind of stuff! That's great!
However, I'm a McCain supporter (volcanic temper and all) and think he's far better qualified to be the President. Romney's a good guy, glad he's running, and I'm glad he's pressing this for all he's worth, but I think McCain's the best man for the job. The argument from Colter and others that he's not a conservative is just silly. Doubting his Republicanism is off kilter when he has always voted for less spending, most tax cuts, spending controls, against gun control laws, and is opposed to abortions.
And, we've gotta win the war and he's the one to do it. In November he can beat the Democratic nominee. Furthermore, I think the country needs to be united more than it needs any particular person or program right now. The country needs is a landslide. I think McCain's the only one of any of the remaining candidates in either party who could pull off a 57% or greater popular vote victory and really end all this 51-49 gridlock.
Hope you have fun in Japan....I see their politics are almost as interesting as ours. Didn't their PM have to resign?

Ben, I think McCain is kind of wishy washy . . . especially when he discusses the illegal immigration situtation. He is for amnesty, plain and simple. Also no matter who is elected President we are in Iraq for the long haul. I do not care what people say. There will be no withdrawal of troops after being in office 100 days. I think when you look at the record McCain is a very liberal Republican. I do not hate McCain, but when you gets down to it, I think Romney has the expereince of leading to get us back to were we need to be. We need decisions made and not more debate.
Anyways I hope you dissertation is going well and you should be finishing it up soo. I think this year even.
Yeah, Japan's old PM left office and now there is a new PM. The big issue here has been the Anti-terror bill which got passed after the Upper House turned it down and the Lower house passed it with a 2/3 majority. The Japanese think there goverment is just as corrupt as ours. Funny.
