Only if he does a 180 from his Massachusetts governance. I worked for President Reagan, Friend,

Hey, come on. Don't use those sophomoric debate tactics like using facts! We've got so much more important things going on here, like "conservatives" using their vote for a Pyhrric victory by voting for other than Obama's Republican challenger. Well, it would not even be a Pyhrric victory, considering that NO one other than the Republican candidate has a chance against a Democrat candidate. Call it Pyhrric Plus--all the devastating cost of the Pyhrric victory plus defeat. The only consolation would be able to say in retrospect, "It was a far better thing to have voted my conscience and let the nation truly go to hell than to vote against my conscience and have a least a shot of preventing the reelection of Barack Obama, because, you know, in the end, which is of longer lasting importance--trying to stop four years of evil becoming eight or more years of the same or engaging in a singular act of moral masturbation with its post-electoral glow of self-satisfaction no matter what? And, hey, we all know that if Mitt and a Republican House and Senate were elected, we as conservatives would have a LOT harder time getting them to go in a conservative direction than Obama."
