Until then, I am standing by my prediction from months ago that Romney will be our nominee.You may be right. As the article above specifies the establishment supports the Romniac even though the base remains divided and unconvinced, this despite the Romniacs recent social-conservative makeover. But this speaks more to the disintegration and internal weaknesses of the GOP than to the character or competence of Mitt Romney. As the article specifies, even those who support the Romniac know that he is a committed and implacable fraud. But the choices are so few. If he wins--G-D forbid--the nomination I will vote Libertarian.
I wouldn’t trust anything these punks at The New Republic write. Romney has liabilities (both political and substantive). But don’t let’s take our cues from a magazine that hates our guts, and shows it in every issue.
