I agreed with what you said we needed; but yes, I would vote for Mitt, albeit very reluctantly. I just don’t think he would be as destructive as a continuation of the present disaster in the White House, especially if the Obamanation brings more Demonrats into congress. That speaks to how bad I believe 0bummer is and is not to compliment Romney.
I'm probably one of the few folks who is glad that John McCain lost. Romney would do to the Republican Party what I believe McCain would have done... which is exactly what Obama is doing to the Democrats: destroying any credibility for at least a generation.
A Romney win would put the GOP in the position of explaining (four years from now) why the policies of Cap and Trade and government health care are STILL stifling the economy, and given his positions on abortion and the 2nd Amendment, we cannot depend on his SCOTUS nominees, either.
It would be better, in my opinion, to have another Obama term, during which principled conservative Republicans would fight like mad dogs to oppose his policies, than a Romney administration that they would be tempted to lay down and accept the very same policies from.
