Lean Obama.
Right now, the lack of anyone even remote resembling a competent leader is the biggest problem with the Republican field.
I suppose if John Thune (not very bright) or Mike Pence (too bright by half) are able to sand away some of their rougher (extremist) edges between the primary and the general, then they could be poised for a win.
I suppose, though, that Romney is the most adept at changing his image as the circumstances warrant. To win the primary, he can be the ultra-conservative, government-hating Mormon who made his fortune because of tax cuts, trickle down and Ronald Reagan. And to win the general, he can be the socially moderate, fiscal conservative Governor of Massachusetts, who realizes that sometimes, government has to play a role in solving peoples' problems.
Since he's well-familiar with both sides of the coin...and since he has a limitless fortune to spend...my money's on him to win the primary at least.
