Yeah, you do need to choose the lesser of two evils.

Getting 70% of what you want doesn't sound 'evil' to me. Indeed, President Reagan said that he would rather settle for 70% (Romnney) than 0% (Hillary).

If it was 70% I might be convinced. Based on his performance, the number is lower than that. Much lower. As in the case of Gov. Schwarzenegger, he is so far away from the base, that it really does damage to the party to have him as a candidate and an elected official.

Dear LtdGovt,

With Mr. Romney, I might get 70%.

Or I might get 7%.

I dunno.

It depends on which Mr. Romney shows up for work:

- the adamant, principled pro-abort who told us in 1994 that he'd been a pro-abort for decades because abortion is a constitutional right, and it should be "a woman's choice, not the government's," and who reiterated this position when running for governor in 2002, or the fellow who says now that he's a pro-lifer;

- the fellow who was foursquare for gun control, or the guy who now brags about his NRA membership;

- the guy who backed ENDA (special rights for homosexuals) or the guy who now says ENDA goes too far;

- the guy who said signing a no tax-hike pledge was a gimmick, or the guy who signed a no tax-hike pledge.

I think I'll pass.
