I wanted Sarah to run but this time I’m having to settle for romney because 4 more years of 0bama is unthinkable. we must continue our efforts to marginalize the rinos, 2010 was a good start and 2012 will be better
It’s the same guy who nominated Romney and Reagan and every other Republican candidate - a plurality of GOP primary voters.

Two words, “open primary”.
Democrats pick our candidates.
What I would like to see are those who thought there wasn’t a dimes worth of difference between McCain and Obama and voted 3rd party or not-at-all.
How did that work out for you? Regrets?
So you’re voting for Obama then?
