On Mitt Romney Debating Mitt Romney, Mitt Romney, and Mitt Romney

Today former Utah governor John Huntsman withdrew from the race for the Republican nomination for president. Now, what looked like a crowded race could be over before Florida holds its presidential primary at the end of January. The city of Jacksonville was slated to host a nationally televised presidential debate on January 26th, and the race could very well be over by that time. That could leave no one to debate Mitt Romney. But then a twitter follower of mine had a better idea.

@SunshineEmpire I’m sure with all the different views he has had on topics, it will be just as interesting with just him debating himself.

The idea is brilliant. I feel the more entertaining option for a debate would be to have all the different Mitt Romneys debate one another to determine which would make the best presidential candidate to face Barack Obama in the fall. We could invite 1994 Senate race Mitt Romney, who stated then “Look, I was an independent during the time of Reagan-Bush. I’m not trying to take us back to Reagan-Bush.” We could also invite 2003 Massachusetts gubernatorial candidate Mitt Romney. That Mitt Romney raised several hundreds of millions in new fees from Massachusetts taxpayers, and created the health care initiative that would become the template for Obamacare.

These two Romneys could be joined by 2008 presidential election Romney. This Romney, unlike his 2003 edition who said he had unequivocal support for Roe V Wade, is now anti-abortion. 2008 Romney was also in favor of TARP. We could round out the debate invitations with Mitt Romney 2012, who is now a Tea Party darling. So if the 2012 GOP presidential nomination is essentially decided come January 26th, the powers that be with the Republican Party of Florida need not cancel any debate. Everyone wins.
