Corporations aren't people. They're MADE of people - like Soylent Green.

I'd argue that Soylent Green is made of former people.
Corporations are living & breathing people, albeit of the running dog variety.

Romney is too sane to even have a remote chance at making it anywhere.
Besides, I thought he was already out.
If Republicans were serious about the White House, they wouldn't canabalize Romney.

Romney is not only still "in", but he is still the Republican candidate most likely to have a chance against Obama. Many Democrats feel disaffected from Obama (like myself) but are likely to support his re-election in order to forestall another 4-year Republican disaster. Independents do not like extremists on either side of the political spectrum. Obama is little different from a 20th century moderate Republican, but Republicans seem reluctant to field moderate-sounding candidates anymore. Until Romney is able to clinch the nomination, he will likely try to shift as far to the right as possible. If he survives, then he will swing back towards the center, which is where the real battleground will be in the next election--who can appeal to the fickle undecideds (a decidedly unappealing crowd to me
)....but rainman Rick appears to be a George Bush like moron on steroids!

It was on fire when I laid down on it.

Oh, you mean those people who don't let a political party take advantage of their blind loyalty?
Considering whom he has to impress, maybe the rainman is no moron at all.
According to a 2009 Harris Poll of 2,303 adult Americans, when people are asked to Please indicate for each one if you believe in it, or not, the following results were revealing:

I think in fairy tale land Romney would have a chance... but I honestly don't think that any Republican has a chance at the White House. The party is heavily fragmented *with no unifying force* and heavy hitters don't know where to put their money. It's one thing to win seats in the house, where bits of the country don't have to agree on anything, and quite another to fund a nation wide campaign.
His campaign is abortive.
I really think that Romney is a dead man walking precisely because he is the best candidate. Once he sees that he will have to start spending his own money, he'll be gone like donkey kong.
I'm not disillusioned with Obama at all, principally because I didn't expect much from him other than 8 years away from Republican self-destruction. I think that unless he screws the pooch magnificently in the campaign strategy, he'll easily win the next election.

It would have been more helpful if people were asked questions that had a comparable quantitative measurement.
In a country where the vast majority of people identify themselves as Christian, you're going to see belief in Christian myth. But that tells you nothing more than what you already knew: most people in the group are Christian. Drawing any other conclusion simply reveals bias for/against Christianity.
Take away Christian myth, and the "survey" becomes far less impressive.
Maybe so, however this one paints a frightening picture to many. How about you?
Evolution Less Accepted in U.S. Than Other Western Countries, Study Finds
This chart depicts the public acceptance of evolution theory in 34 countries in 2005. Adults were asked to respond to the statement: "Human beings, as we know them, developed from earlier species of animals." The percentage of respondents who believed this to be true is marked in blue; those who believed it to be false, in red; and those who were not sure, in yellow.

I don't think very many Democrats will be voting Republican in the upcoming election, but they may throw their vote away on a third party candidate or stay home in protest.
I don't see any Republicans voting for Obama, so it really comes down to how the Moderates vote.
The economy will be the deciding factor in the upcoming election and the truth be told, no one person can fix our economic problems because this financial crisis is a world problem not a National one.
This election is not Obama's to win but the Republicans to lose because they might nominate a dividing candidate that would run off the moderate vote.
