Mitt Romney would be a much better representative of ALL the GOP than the other two, I believe.

ONLY if he's going to listen to the base and tell the RINOs to shut up or pack up.

Because of his record in Massachusetts, a lot of people aren't convinced he will do that.

And plenty of people have already said they refuse to vote for him in the general; in that respect, he is our Hillary.

Many Repubs said the same thing about Guiliani and McCain.

In fact, I've never realized there were so many strident, dogmatic Republicans who would ... as the saying goes, cut of their nose to spite their face.

Or perhaps it is just that small segment which is making noise, because after all, Romney has done fairly well in the polls over the past few months.

The way I see it, Romney HAS made some stupid pandering comments regarding abortion and homo marriage over the years (mostly pre-1994 actually).

But the record shows he has governed from a fairly conservative stand -- especially when you consider it was Massechusetts where he had to win.

The bottom line is that I believe wholeheartedly that Romney as Prez would govern from and get his power from the conservative base ---- because the left Democratic media wackadoodles in America would NEVER help him have a successful Administration --- and he knows it.
