Andrew Mason is half right.

2:42 pm — 

I’m finally coming around on Obama - the guy looks like he has finally inspired enough voters to overcome Hillary’s fiduciary advantage.  He’s played tough and is definitely more likable, which is hardly fair to Hillary (who is crazy smart), but this is politics and style counts more than substance.

But for the Republicans, I’ll predict Mitt Romney gets the nomination.  He’s one part compromise candidate and one part moderate.  While McCain’s numbers have been improving, most of the supporters of the loser candidates (Thompson, Paul, etc) will turn to Romney and not McCain (who has been more inconsistent than alleged flip-flopper Romney) or Huckabee (whose campaign is based on appealing to the religious right, but has not been met with the unanimous approval given to Bush eight years ago).

So I’ll take Obama and Romney, and in the general election I think the more sound bite-able Romney will do a better job holding the electorate’s 10-second attention span than Obama, whose well-thought-out positions don’t fit in a newspaper headline.

Mark it down:  Before the smoke clears in the first primary, I am taking Romney and Obama as the nominees, and Romney as POTUS 44.

They have an “edit” feature on these blog posts, right?
