GOP Insiders Near-Unanimous in Predicting Romney Nomination
National Journal ^ | October 28, 2011 | Taylor West and Peter Bell

Posted on 10/28/2011 10:01:34 AM PDT by EMG2012

The large Republican presidential field, along with the dramatic surges and collapses of several of its candidates, may ultimately be much ado about nothing. That, at least, is the conclusion of the Republican strategists surveyed in this week's National Journal Political Insiders Poll, who almost unanimously identified Mitt Romney as the most likely candidate to win the nomination. In the five times the GOP Insiders have been asked that question in 2011, Romney has never surrendered the top spot.

Well, that’s it, then: we should all support Romney, who will give us qualified, professional, steady-as-she-goes government like the other insider-blessed candidates have done in the past. ‘More of the same’ is what’s needed. /s

GOP “insiders” can go suck a root so far as I’m concerned!

Unfortunately, I see the same situation happening this election year as happened in 2008 where the Conservative vote was split and the RINO vote was unified which allowed McCain to get the nomination. This time around, the conservative vote is being split by Cain, Perry, Gingrich, and Bachmann while the RINO vote has unified around Romney. Unless a couple of the Conservative candidates drop out early in the primary season, it's shaping up to be 2008 all over again.

If Romney is the GOP nominee, I - and I'm confident my family - will not vote GOP.

No more RINO'S!

No more kowtowing to the GOP. I will put my resources to electing conservatives to local, state and regional elections.

Oh but if I do that you might say I'm helping to re-elect OBAMA.

GET OVER IT! NO MORE RINO'S! It will be the fault of the GOP if Obama is re-elected!

@#$& them and the horse they rode in on!

The plan seems to be that they will push Romney to the right enough to get him nominated and elected. There is no way, of course, to keep him from his leftist ways after that.

If any of you feared communism or socialism, well we've been living it for years, little by litte, already!

When is the last time WE THE PEOPLE chose our candidate? We will be sucker-punched again. This country is DOOMED!

All the more reason to vote for Cain.

The GOP best listen to the people and not go against them. This time around, the people of this country will turn against them and run them all out of office. You would think that the GOP would join the rest of us and turn this country around and make it what it’s supposed to be.

In the article,
“Another suggested Republicans would eventually come around. “While Romney certainly isn’t a tea party favorite at the moment, by November they will have fallen in ‘like’ with him given that the alternative is Obama.”

The majority of my family reluctantly voted for McCain because of Palin on the ticket as VP. The majority of us have vowed not to vote for a RINO regardless of whom is chosen as VP candidate.

I respect the thoughts of these Insiders just as much as I respect the thoughts of economists or political scientists(barf).

President Hillary Clinton who was annointed by the democrat insiders certainly agrees with the Republican insiders.
