The Republicans’ Florida debate demonstrated that the strong winner, Mitt Romney, has developed Mittmentum and is on course to election in November, despite the Clintons and some religious bigotry.
The United States of America’s next president won’t be its first president of Italian ancestry (as Rudy Giuliani hopes), because the Republicans won’t nominate a person who does not share the Republicans’ traditional pro-life, pro-personal morality values; or the first former prisoner-of-war (as John McCain still yearns), because now he’s too old for the grueling job and previously he was too inclined to break with most Republicans and join with Democrats (McCain-Feingold, Kennedy-McCain, Gang of Fourteen); or the first Baptist minister (as Mike Huckabee prays), because he’s not up to the job, he’s not the best choice and one president born in Hope, Arkansas was one too many.
But there WILL be big change.
The next president will be the first female president, or the first half-black president (Barack’s mother was white and ignoring that is…not right), or the first Mormon president.
Much of the media really would prefer Obama versus McCain, and have been broadcasting, reporting and editorializing accordingly, but the politically adept Clintons will do whatever it takes to win the Democrat nomination.
Nevertheless, in the end, enough Republicans will refuse to succumb to religious bigotry and reject a monagamous Mormon who shares their basic values for a man who divorced his first wife and married a rich, much younger divorcee whose family could support his political ambitions.

Remember something important about McCain. If he is the nominee, he will not be able to go after the Clintons for being morally corrupt because he is morally corrupt. He left his first wife because she got into a terrible auto accident and in her recovery, gained a few pounds. When Ann came down with MS, Mitt said he would stay by her side no matter what. It’s too bad that McCain didn’t feel the same sort of honor toward his first wife that Mitt felt for Ann when she became ill. Cindy is truly the younger, better, richer model isn’t she, John? For all of Bill’s cheatin’, at least he stood by Hillary. That’s got to count for something. If you feel that this is too personal, I think he’s fair game. Mitt is the values candidate, and McCain is not.

Let’s see how FL turns out before we jump to any conclusions. It looks to be a very, very tight race there. The winner of FL is in the driver’s seat.
