I'm sure Joe the Plumber would have been in double digits had he thrown his name in the ring. Of good news for the GOP, Romney is the only person on that list that I can see with a realistic chance of winning a general election someday. If his being a Mormon and a formerly centrist (even sometimes liberal) Governor of Massachusetts doesn't offend this far right wing crowd, then he has a decent chance of getting through a GOP primary. And he just sold off two of his four mansions, showing he is just a regular guy going through tough economic times like everyone else. I'll bet even John McCain can name the number of houses Romney now owns.
