Yes, it will be a close race between Romney and Perry. I think Perry will use the exact same issues against Romney and win this. Either one will beat Obama pretty easily. But Romeny has talked extensivly about Romneycare. He said it should only be a state decision and not a national one. But you are right he should still run away from it.
I got news for you birdbrain...80% of America see's this as a freak show

Wrong again which proves you are the birdbrain. You and a few others on here are by FAR in the minority!
According to a poll on prayer, 87 percent of Americans believe God answers prayer. That same poll revealed that 82 percent of people pray for the health and success of their families
and 79 percent believe God answers prayers for healing from incurable disease.
No offense Viking, to you or your religion....but the same people who say they will pray for their family, for health and success.....will probably ask their president to do something more than that to run the country.
What gets me is the necessity to point out religious belief as part of the "freak" show. If you howl about all the other labels like racist and sot forth, I'd think you would find something like that offensive too. BTW I'm not Mormon nor religious, but that does not mean I need to attack people for their beliefs, creed or where they come from. Is there no way to keep things on an intellectual level? Just a thought.......

So you recommend that anyone running for office pretend that they believe something that they don't, or turn their back on something they do believe in, in order to get elected? gotcha.
I think that is how we got all these tea party activists in the house....they ran as fiscal conservatives, then turned out to be fiscal nut jobs. If they had run on bringing the US to the brink of default, how many would have been elected?
Well sometimes new legislation looks better in theory than actual operation. And Romneycare is an example of this. It has cost the state much more than originally planned, plus the state keeps adding more unfunded mandates to it.
In a case like this, you can change your mind.
Obama campaigned on closing Gitmo, but once he had time to review the complexities of the situation, he kept it open.
Personally I admire a guy who can admit mistakes and change his mind.
