I don't buy that, and it pains me to hear (read) people on FR say that.
I’ve said for years that I would never, ever vote for Romney under any circumstance, but then we got a guy who gets shut down by Congress and just does whatever he wants anyway. I don’t know if it’s inevitable that he’s the nominee, but Obama has to go. Unfortunately, I also realize that a guy the base hates is already deep in a hole, just like McCain.
