Over the past few weeks we have seen the republican candidates rise and fall in the polls. One candidate seems to keep a constant steady incline and stay at the top and that is Mitt Romney. However no matter what happens it seems that the people want some type of competition so they will continually vote another candidate up towards the top to challenge Romney after each debate. The first person to really challenge Romney was Rick Perry, the governor of Texas. However after many poor performances in the debates and then a disaterous slip on November 9 when he couldn't remember one of the parts of government he would remove if he became president, Perry plummeted in the polls. The next candidate to really do well and challenge Mitt was Herman Cain the CEO of Godfathers Pizza. Herman Cain seemed to be bold, exciting, and coming up with new ideas to help the economy. However his too good to be true economic plan and other of his plans ended up being dismantled as people began to look into them further and notice that really they would not be able to help the government. Also Cain has recently been accused of many scandals that have really taken a toll on his reputation.
So with Cain falling it looked like there would be no one to step up and challenge Romney. However once again someone began to take the torch, and the candidate now who is really giving Romney a run for his money in the polls is speaker of the house Newt Gingrich. He seems to be well aware of all that is going on in Washington and he wants to radically change things from the way Obama has been running America.
So why is it that no matter what happens it seems that Romney will always be at the top but there will always be a competitior as well? I can't help but think that some of it may have to do with religious bias.
