MSM polls determining that Romney has best chance against BHO in 2012 smacks of "McCain"having the best chance in 2008. McCain didn't have the back bone to run against BHO and I don't think Romney has it either. That's why Sarah is so popular with a bunch of folks.
No matter what the polls show,the RNC will pick the wrong person to run against Obama. They have a knack for endorsing the wrong one.
