Then there'll be a serious conservative third party campaign.

I think there are some people who hope to make a profit by having Mitt run and spending tons of money. Imagine getting 5% of what Mitt will spend, especially if he thinks he’s tanking?

So win or lose they win, or at least certain bank accounts do.

I voted for Romney in the last Republican Presidential primary. He dropped out the next day. I won’t be voting for him again in the primary OR the general election. He pissed me off! If the Mama Grizzly Party doesn’t field a candidate, I’ll just write in Palin and Bachmann.

This guy Romney couldn’t compete with McCain so he quit. Obama beat McLame like a cheap toy. Romney is two things a mini statist and a quitter. He would doom the the country to 4 more years of Obama cause he couldn’t even carry his own so called base. I sure as hell wouldn’t vote for him. I say if your gonna get a commie anyway go for the real thing.

This article is all over the place. The bottom line is that Romney is disliked by the base on Romneycare alone. There is no way around that issue since it is Obummers Achilles heel.

Good point.

You can think of it as a private sector stimulus bill for unemployed political consultants.

Isn't that precious?

The ruling class thinks they're still in charge!

I did too, but only because the alternative was McCain.

Thankfully, I had a severe hernia on Election Day, so I didn't have to make the horrible choice of whom to vote for in the general election.

“Trump” would be better than Romney!
Romney’s going to do what ever the heirachy of his church tells him to do...they have a political/monetary/control agenda ..and religiously as wacky as the Islamic goons.

Post of the Week and a great tagline.

That would be a good campaign theme for next year’s primaries.

Consider the source-Salon.

This is a piece of hogwash; A leftist stunt constructed with the goal of convincing us that Mitt Romney is the only electable candidate. The only thing that I get from this screed is that if a Republican is elected, they hope it's the RINO Romney. That's what this piece is about.
