Wolf Blitzer wants to know what the GOP candidates would bring to the White House.
I hope one of them says a bust of Winston Churchill.
UPDATE: Score one for Romney.

Wow -- Romney is channeling Aaron on Churchill!

Mitt has been magnificent tonight, so Presidential. Governor Perry was a disaster area and should drop out now to save face. You can't defend the indefensible and many of his policies are farcical. Mitt should concentrate on winning Iowa followed by Florida, if so he is the nominee.

Churchill is greatly overrated. He was a lousy peacetime prime minister and his wartime leadership led to the destruction of the British Empire. The Churchill meme is a sure sign of ignorant neoconnery.
Neville Chamberlain is MY hero. Got Britain out of the Great Depression by banishing Keynes from the Treasury and Keynesian ideas from policy. MUCH more relevant to today's problems.

...and by the way, he (Chamberlain) all but started the war in Europe while Churchill all but saved Western Civilization.

Yes Chamberlain all but started WWII with his disastrous foreign policy but dont forget that it was Stanley Baldwin who laid much of the foundation for the war. Much of it was done by massive cuts in military spending that put England at a major disadvantage and with a weak anemic military on the onset of war.

Mark Meckler, a co-founder of Tea Party Patriots, singled out Romney's Massachusetts health care plan as a primary reason why the national front-runner for the Republican nomination "clearly has difficulties" with members of the movement.
"He's attached to RomneyCare and has done a poor job of distancing himself from that," Meckler told reporters at a breakfast in Washington, D.C., hosted by the Christian Science Monitor. "I think he probably squandered an incredible opportunity and was probably the best guy to say, ‘I tried this and it failed,' and he has not done a good job of that. So he has taken positions that are contrary to what the average Tea Partier would take -- positions on man-made global warming, positions on energy efficiency. So I think he's in real trouble with the Tea Party base."

Agreed! Fantastic answer by Romney. I thought I'd never say it, but little by little I'm liking Romney more and more. Still a Bachmann fan here, though. At least until Palin jumps in.
