The Race for the US Presidency, 2012 - 2016 is over !!
Well perhaps not 'officially over' but as good as.
And the Winner is ............'Mitt Romney'.
That is unless he a) dies before Election Day or b) is found in bed with a dozen other men. (women he would probably get away with).
So 'Mormon Mitt' is the West's new guy for the next four (4) years.
None of the 8 or so Republican challengers can hold a candle to him and Obama has made so many mistakes, even any one of those eight would have given him a good run for his money.
But in many respects, Mormon Mitt has it all.
He even looks the part !!
He has experience in business; as Governor of Massachusetts, he has experience running a major government and he knows his way around the Foreign Affairs files.
And unlike his main Republican Rival - Newt Gingrich and the Current Occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, he works well with others (i.e. he is not a one man band); an essential attribute if one is to be a successful President in a Government composed of Checks and Balances.
So you have heard it here first. Look at all the wear and tear and worrying I have saved you awaiting the formal results next November.
I plan to do my usual prognostication for the up coming year but wanted to get this most important one out of the way first.
As I see it....
