If Mitt is the nominee, I will vote for him.

On abortion, he said that he was wrong in the past. I can accept a man admitting that he was wrong.

On his healthcare bill in Mass, he had no choice. It was all the work of the liberals in the state legislature. He vetoed a lot of what was sent to him but he basically had no choice because he was in the most liberal state in the union.

I didn’t think much of Mitt before but I’ve talked to conservatives in Mass so I now have a better understanding of his history. I am okay with him now. Mitt was about as conservative as you could be in a state like Mass. ROMNEY IS STILL NOT MY TOP CHOICE BUT I’LL SUPPORT HIM 100% IF HE’S THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE.

If the “Tea Party Nation” doesn’t support Romney if he’s the nominee, they can all kiss my #$#^. The “Tea Party Express” had a similar attitude and got us 6 more years of Harry Reid. They cost us Delaware’s senate seat. I can name a few others but I am not going to waste my time.

Instead of pouting about not getting 100% of what I want, I’d rather get 75% than 0 (0=obama). I am going to support this nation by voting against obama.

I consider myself a member of “Tea Party Nation” as I’ve donated to candidates and attended rallies and will somewhat happily pull the lever for Romney if he’s the nominee. Wile he’s my second to last choice amongst the republicans, he is lightyears preferable to O. I don’t believe though, that Romney’s nomination is a fait accompli. New Hampshire is only one state and he’s got to succeed in the South.

"If Mitt is the nominee, I will vote for him."

I think the real question is: Under what circumstances would Mitt win the nomination?

We all know that the LMSM is pushing Romney, and they are behind most of the polls that somehow have Mitt ahead in the polls. Furthermore, the libs are salivating at a Romney-Obama race, wherein the socialist with the most money wins.

Last I heard, it is still up to the Republicans to name their nominee, not the Lame Stream Media.

And the WINNER of the BEST COMMENT OF THE DAY is.............

BOYCOTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“instead of pouting about not getting 100% of what I want, I’d rather get 75% than 0 (0=obama). I am going to support this nation by voting against obama.”

ALL the machinations, musings and whinings are IRRELEVANT.

At the end of Election Day 2012, the ONLY question of ANY important AT ALL will be: “Did Non-Liberal America vote for or against Obama?” Whether or not you have to “hold your nose”, ya’d better be REAL careful how you spend that day’s vote.

I wish I could agree with you that Romneycare was all the work of liberals in the state legislature. That's not how it went down, though.

Here's a short excerpt from a more detailed account of Romney's record on health care:

Jon Gruber is not the kind of guy who votes Republican for president. He is, after all, a liberal professor from Massachusetts. But at one point he was ready to make an exception for Mitt Romney. Back in 2004, Romney, then governor of the Bay State, summoned Gruber from MIT to his office on Beacon Hill. A leading health-care economist, Gruber had spent the previous few years modeling an insurance system that was neither liberal (like single-payer) nor conservative (like total deregulation), but somewhere in between. Romney, craving a signature policy achievement, was eager to hear more.

Gruber described the details: a marketplace where Massachusettans could shop for private coverage; subsidies to help poorer residents purchase insurance; a requirement that everyone contribute as much as they could afford. Best of all, he explained, there was no need to raise taxes or reduce services; just stop wasting $400 million a year on expensive ER visits for the uninsured and the reforms would pretty much pay for themselves. Romney was sold. "As a management consultant, his eyes lit up," recalls Gruber. "He just said, 'It's the right thing to do.' "

Also, Romney did famously say (at the time) that he hoped the Massachusetts law would become a model for the nation. He can't now portray himself as a poor helpless Governor who did what he could to stop the liberal juggernaut. He was an instigator of the plan and was happily taking credit for it until his political ambitions dictated that he begin trying to appeal to conservatives.
