Can Mitt Romney beat Barack Obama in the next presidential election?

I don't feel that Romney has as much of a chance to win as would Mike Huckabee. I think Huckabee understands the issues the country faces, had very good common sense and the ability to apply logic to achieve the outcome. Huckabee is truly a person who wants to do the right thing for America above and beyond the political fray.

Whether or not Romney can win will hinge greatly on how disliked Obama is at election time. A significant portion of the American voters are currently not very high on the guy and the direction he is taking America in is a very dangerous one to say the least. At the same time, if the rumors are true and he does show up with a billion dollar campaign chest...he may well "buy" the relection for himself...if George Soros has anything to say about it, that will be the case.

Obama really does not have anything of a positive nature on which to run...most of what he has touched has come out more negative than positive. As the Clinton campaign said back in his first election to office..."It's the economy, stupid". In this case, anyone who plans to beat Obama will have to keep the central focus on "it's the spending, stupid", for that aspect of his administration has surely moved America to the brink of bankruptcy....hands down.WB.

Probably not. Either way, you can keep them both.

I highly doubt it. No one really knows the other candidates and many times presidents will get re-elected because they can't do nearly as much as they should be able to in four years.

Not a chance, he woul be wasting his time and money Mr. Obama is going to serve another term.

Nice question! I am still so very undecided who I would like to see as the next President.

Not that I'm sure he'll be the nominee, but if he is I think he has a decent chance actually. Republicans are ready to elect someone else and will unite behind any nominee to make that happen. Romney has budget experience and knows how to hire and fire when needed, which is one of Obama's biggest weaknesses.

I voted for Obama and believed the hype back in the first election. My mistake. I'm an independent now thanks to all the nonsense from both sides.

There are some decent candidates on the Republican side if they run, but I don't think Romney is one of them. Will make for an interesting 2012.

It doesn't really matter, they're both puppets.

Well I don't think so. Unless he can muster up the strength of the Republican party, and unite it, then he can possibly have a chance. Unfortunately for him, Obama's approval ratings skyrocketed during the whole Osama Bin Laden incident, and he has been viewed in a less harsh light than he was before.

I will admit it has to be a potential to be a rather close race, but I have a feeling Obama will keep his job as President of the United States.

No, Romney is a eurobanker whore who supports the NON federal and NO reserve eurotrash banking cartel. It's either Ron Paul, or a democratic victory.

I think Mitt Romney has a chance to beat Obama. If he is the Republican nominee you would assume that he would carry the traditional Republican states. S experience as the Massachusetts governor could also help him win some more traditionally Democratic states in the northeast.

He has good connections in Massachusetts and Connecticut where I think his father was a senator years ago. I think he has the best chance of any of the possible nominees I have heard of so far.

Who sits in the proverbial "seat" does not matter. We should be concerned about the people pulling the strings behind the curtain. Sadly most Americans still believe our system runs the way it use to.

Check out my hub "Don't Blame Obama" It explains everything. Cheers mate :).

After the take down of Osama Bin laden under Barack's current presidency theres no way Romney has a chance.

Religion is too big of an issue for Romney to win. America isn't ready.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
