I think Perry has shot himself in the foot, but Romney isn't far behind. Romney is better at spinning what would be bad into something good, so I suspect that if you don't consider any others, Romney would get the nod. That said, the jury is still out on Herman Cain.
The more I hear from Romney, Perry, and Cain the less I like them. I think Ron Paul will grind it out and take the nomination even with the media blackout.
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.
