I think Mitt is going to the the nomination. All you conservatives who gnash your teeth at that idea better come to grips with it being a choice between Mitt and Hilary in ‘08.

If it isn't Mitt, then it will be Giuliani and in that case we will LOSE the general election. With a third party made up of the Ron Paulites and the fourth party made up of the evangelicals and other social conservatives who can't, in good conscience, vote for Giuliani you've got a recipe for disaster. Disaster not only in 2008 but for the future of the Republican Party. Either we get everyone else out of the way to put Romney up there against Giuliani or we're doomed to a Giuliani nomination which would literally destroy the Republican Party and lose the election. That is what is at stake.

I have come to the same conclusion. I have watched both Rudy and Romney campaign in person. Thompson is a no-show. Romney has presidential charisma, he has the resources and I agree with him on virtually every issue.

The nutjobs who vote for Ron Paul will constitute less thana 1/10th of a percent. A pro-life third party might do even worse.

Hillary would crush Romney. BTW.
