Romney was a runner up in the Republican primary last election cycle, which is why most news stations think he's the most likely candidate this time around. He'd be good if he wasn't so bad. He has a tendency to change his political positions with the wind, on top of it. Honestly, I think the majority of Americans don't see medicinal marijuana as that big of an issue. I mean, yeah, tons of recreational users want it legalized, but only because they want to use it...not because they're [i]really[/i] interested in a government that adheres to its own Law. Frankly, I'm glad the media isn't covering a lot of politics (assuming they really aren't...I don't watch the news). Whenever I watch TV, I get really tired of all the politics very fast. Not to mention there's more or less no such thing as "breaking news" on TV. The internet is much faster at spreading news, and aggregate news sites gimme all the stories I need from every angle.
