Has the media already picked the GOP candidate to run against Obama?
It seems like every article I read on the Web, Newspaper, or segment watched on TV...they focus on how Romney did. Even pictures of GOP debates, and video coverage all show him with more face time then the rest of the candidates. As I watched the debate tonight (streamed from the internet FOXNEWS) Ron Paul led the approval rating in every single question he was asked. Even the poll afterwards favored Ron Paul. But who gets all the coverage? Mitt Romney and Michelle Bachman. Is this the Republican ticket already chosen for us by the media?

Media is sponsoring the puppet named Romney. He's a paid for candidate and a typical corrupt politician. He's a snake.

Mainly it is Karl Rove and Grover Norquist who will decide on who the GOP candidate will be. They control the purse strings and clearly don't like the others because they know they have no chance of beating Obama. However, the tea party want Bachman and they usually get what they want.
Ron Paul did the best in my opinion, he was the only one who made any sense and didn't spend all his time attacking Obama. He was the only one who did not want to continue war in the middle east until we win ideology. They want bigger military action with more Middle eastern countries, especially Iran, but Ron Paul did not.

media wants to pick a candidate but repubs are not that dumb cus of course the dependent media (except for fox news which of course if blue ribbon) will instantly mock whoever it is doing endless snl parodies and goofy progressives will laugh with smarm (is this a word) but well darwin said what he said and the repubs will announce it at the last minute-thank you

Of course the liberal media want's the Republicans to nominate a liberal like Romney.
If Democrats like Romney that much they should run him instead of Obama.
We will pick a real conservative.

I believe it's not only because Romney is ahead in early polling, but because the media is unwilling to speak of Bachmann because doing so would give her credence, and they're afraid to do that.

Mitt Romney is generally the nominee. Huckabee has already shown himself too folksy and stupid. edit: McCain did no longer choose for Romney, because of the fact he needed a woman on his part to counter the "hillary result".

For actual Republicans Romney is a complete joke.
Being a conservative, I can assure you Perry will replace him.
If Trump should decide to run; that will be his biggest threat.
BY FAR.

They are assuming the Republicans will pick the candidate who might be electable. Let's hope they are wrong.

If they were really in the tank for Obama they would throw all their support at Stepford homo wife.
