In recent months, we have heard a slew of news stories geared toward telling us how disatisfied we are all with the Republican field of potential Presidential candidates. Recently, there was a poll that seemingly confirmed this pessimism.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm tired of the media trying to tell the rest of the country that no matter who the Republican nominee is, that person is unacceptable. This was the same lie they told about Bob Dole. They said he was just the next in line and not the best choice. They told us how unexciting he is. Well, we all learned after the election how funny and charming the guy is. Some people thought this just showed his inability to campaign. In fact, it was the Clinton media machine laying off the guy now that they had quashed him.

So, let me just stand up and say no matter what happens in our Republican Primary, I am proud of our party and I will be delighted to call any of the top notch Republican Candiates President.

Just how fine are the Republican candidates? Well, consider this, Mitt Romney, clearly an extremely competent and intelligent leader, is in the pack of candidates. He is a tremendous person with solid values who respects others and leads with conviction tempered by flexibility. He is working hard. He is gaining momentum. He is slowly, but surely, inching his way toward the finish line. This is no sunshine candidate we have in Mitt. No weekly love-child (is that appropriate to say) of the pollsters. This is the candidate who is going the distance. Yet, he remains just one of several "front-runners" at this point. Why is that? Because Romney's competition is formidable. He is running against two national heros, as he describes them. And while both of them drive me crazy from time-to-time on some single issue, I respect both of them and am proud to have them in my party.

So, while I know that Romney is the best person to lead us in facing a new generation of challenges, I am done listening to the media tell us we are unhappy with the choices available.
