Republicans cannot credibly run on repealing Obamacare with Romney as the nominee.

Romney Gives Mass. Health Reform an 'A' (in July, 2009)


"The portrait depicts the governor seated at the front edge of his desk wearing his trademark business suit. Beside him is a small framed photo of his wife, Ann, and ... [wait for it] ... a copy of the health care reform law he called his greatest achievement.

IF Romney wins, and that is a BIG if, and you vote for Barry the Kenyan Marxist or don’t vote which is the same as voting for him, then yes, I would say you will be blamed, but I have a feeling you’re fine with giving Barry Soetoro 4 more years.
I’m voting for Newt in the primary and anybody but the Islamic Marxist after that. Anybody is better than that idiot we have in there now and I’m hoping we have a President Gingrich, but I’m also fine with Perry, or Santorum. If we end up with Romney and he beats the Kenyan, so be it. Take back the Senate, increase seats in the house and 4 years later have a Palin or Perry challenge him.

Will I be blamed if Obama wins in November?

You're in TX so I say NO. If the sweep is so vast that TX goes for Obama, your vote won't have made any difference.

Those in "swing" states the ones to blame along with the imbecilic early state voters foisting Romney on us all.

I am quite aware. And I have noticed that more and more people here are beginning to accept that Romney is going to be the nominee.

“I am a conservative and I support Romney.”

I am a conservative and I support Obama.

Same difference.

Great post but the phrase is “all of a sudden” rather than “all the sudden.”

It's not Politico, it's Gallup. Gallup did the poll; it's not even PPP which people attack for its DNC connections.

Time to face facts, enough "conservative" voters have swallowed Romney's snake oil for "his turn" at the nomination.

We should thank the suck up approach taken by Santorum, Bachmann, Cain, et al. throughout the primary season.

Romney is a vote of last resort only.

And, unless the conservatives, Santorum, Perry and Newt quickly coalese and boil down to a single conservative, so they can garner all of the conservative vote behind one candidate, we will be faced with Romney winning the nomination.

He takes a part of the conservatives, but a majority of the moderates and independents.

We simply have to see a single good conservative going up against him, then that person will ride that wave to the nomination.

But it better happen soon, no later, IMHO, then right after SC. Otherwise, if Romney ends up winning Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina (because of the split vote for conservatives) and then Florida for the same reasons...the momentum will be hard to stop.

So, Santorum, Perry, and Gingrich, get together after NH...or no later than after SC and make the hard decisions for the sake of the country. Which ever of you three has garnered the most vote and delegates at that point should be endorsed by the other two who then drop out and throw their support behind that person.

Othewrwise it will be Romney against Obama. I do believe Romney can win, and that he owuld be far better than Obama...but also far less than what we as conservatives want and need to post haste begin turning this nation around and back to its fundamental, moral and conservative roots.

The only poll I want to see is one that says there is a Republican ahead of 0bama in November.
______________________________________
ME TOO. I hope that Republican is Newt, but anyone that beats the Kenyan Marxist is acceptable. I may not like them, but we can’t stand 4 more years of a devout Marxist that wants to be a dictator. He is lawless and is proving that more and more each day. GO NEWT!

This poll is pure garbage.
_____________________________
Yes, it is. Nothing but propaganda. I ignore most of the polls right now, it’s way too early and they are trying to pick our candidate for us.

Obama is a turd burger. Romney is a balogna sandwich. A true conservative candidate would be a steak.

I'd rather eat the steak, but I'll take a balogna sandwich over a turd burger any day!

What the hell. Shady numbers and other countless problems with the poll aside, how does “acceptable” translate to “embrace”?

BOY oh boy do they ever want to shove Myth down our throats.

As for me and conservatives worthy of the title — FUMR!!!!!

That’s BS. I haven’t accepted that Romney will be the nominee! If he wins SC and FL, then I might accept that he is going to be the nominee but it’s way to early! Anything can happen. I think you hope everyone accepts him as the nominee. Ugh!

Romney makes Obama's liberalism MOOT.
THAT is why the DNC wants him.

Romney makes Obama's ineligibility MOOT.
THAT is why the DNC wants him.

Romney makes Obama's ObamaCARE/RomneyCARE MOOT.
THAT is why the DNC wants him.

[other awesome and true observations]

You couldn't be MORE right. Myth is the perfect catspaw for the liberal agenda, a socialist with an (R) next to his name.

We better fight like heck for a decent Congress who can stand up to either Myth or Zer0 because the fix is in for the presidency, people.

These days, I feel completely "outside" the Republican party. Their (GOP) actions (and that of some news outlets) show plain as day an "establishment" and to me, it's meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

I have had enough of it. I will not pull the lever for Romeny. I will however work hard for house-critters to try and get more TEA Party elected.
I simply cannot pin my hopes on this Government being "fixed" when all we are offered is socialism and socialism-lite. It will be up to the House of Representatives to help fix the mess this country is in fiscally not to mention regulatory.

The GOP can pound sand.

You can bet your last dollar I am voting GOP in this election regardless, because Obama absolutely must go, but my relations with the GOP is near over. Financial and otherwise...

Exactly.
