I still like Romney - especially in comparison to Guillani and the reality of McCain - and I believe in his basic moral compass and ability to lead. However, I realize his major shortcomings insofar as foreign experience and the military. There are of course other areas that aren't perfect, but I still think he's the best thing in the Republican field right now... but it won't be enough to beat the Dems since he's got real name recognition issues, among other things.
What I really like is a Thompson/Romney ticket. I think that has legs. If Condi won't run - which she won't - I like that one. But Thompson really needs to get serious about forming his exploratory committee or else the buzz is going to get bitter.
