If the nominee is Mitt he’s probably toast in the general. He might pick a southern running mate to shore up the old Confederacy, but that would just demonstrate how weak he is by defending territory that should already be safe.

Now that Fred Thompson is out of the race (or will be soon), the die-hards will be circling the wagons around Romney. I really want to LIKE Romney, but something doesn’t click there.

Romney and Rooty are sure losers in the general election. 2nd Amendment voters wont vote for them.

Anti-gun Republican wont sell to any but NE liberal puke states.

Agreed. Either Dem candidate would destroy him. Not only that, the job that the MSM would do on this guy would be one for the history books.

The thing is, Mitt can bring Michigan into our column.

That would offset losing a big state like Ohio with room to spare, given the other Bush 2004 states.
