Mitt Romney was chosen by the Republican primary voters. He was more appealing to the majority of voters than any of the others. He became the candidate by reason of popular vote. Period.

You seem to have forgotten the more conservative candidates the GOP attacked in cooperation with the liberal media that many did not get a chance to vote for. He became the defacto candidate as the others were run out of the race. He was not elected by reason of popular vote - he was at or below 30% in the primaries.

Are you saying that we were not allowed to vote for the more conservative candidate?

I don't remember Newt or Santorum being run out of the race. I don't remember Bachmann being run out of the race.

He was not elected by reason of popular vote - he was at or below 30% in the primaries.

So you're saying that another candidate got more votes? Which?

Do you see all that Mitt has had to endure? All the lies. All the criticism?

How could those other candidates have survived the Obama attack machine when they couldn't even survive going head to head with other Republicans? Mitt Romney is squeaky clean and look what they did to him.
