Some people think I have a “candidate of choice” when actually I don’t. This is the reason for my questions. I can’t support any wiggle room on abortion.
Also, his dealing with Iran needs to be updated, as we’ve now witnessed all of those points initiated by both the US and the UN with no isolation and no containment. Just IMO.
“Also, his dealing with Iran needs to be updated...”
Careful! Some people might call it a flip-flop if he adjusts his position to meet new realities!
I can appreciate that as I feel the same way, jeward. However, realistically, it is largely irrelevant as neither you, nor I, nor Romney will decide alone. If and when Roe v Wade is overturned -- the states will decide.

I have accepted and welcomed Mitt's conversion. I am thrilled for someone as bright, savvy, attractive and polished as Mitt to be carrying our conservative message to a new generation of potential converts. We truly could not ask for a better messenger IMHO since Ronald Reagan.
In any event, happy to see someone doing research and making informed decisions -- even if you choose someone else. ;o)
I don't see evidence that the U.S. or U.N. have implemented the elements of Gov. Romney's 5-Point Plan to confront Iran anywhere near the degree he proposes
Romney's proposals go much further than the status quo, particularly in regards to complete strategic divestment from companies that support Iran, indictment of Ahmadinejad under the terms of the Genocide Convention for incitement to genocide, a policy from the President made public warning Iran that nuclear material used by terrorists traced to them will reap a devastating response, and a new alliance with moderate Islamic states to address socio-economic needs to fight radical Jihadists.
The plan is more confrontational with Iran, with the military option clearly on the table, and more creative in recognizing that threatened Islamic states must solve the problem of radical Jihad internally with non-Wahabi public schools, micro credit and banking, the rule of law, human rights, basic health care, and competitive economic policies.
