Here you go Mitt. If you do get the nomination, I’ll save you the trouble:

Mitt Romney: Thank you. Thank you, my friends. (Cheers, applause.) Thank you for coming here on this beautiful Massachusetts evening. (Cheers, applause.)

My friends, we have — we have come to the end of a long journey. The American people have spoken, and they have spoken clearly. A little while ago, I had the honor of calling President Barack Obama — (boos) — to congratulate him — (boos) — please — to congratulate him on being reelected the president of the country that we both love.

In a contest as long and difficult as this campaign has been, his success alone commands my respect for his ability and perseverance. But that he managed to do so by inspiring the hopes of so many millions of Americans who had once wrongly believed that they had little at stake or little influence in the election of an American president is something I deeply admire and commend him for achieving.

I'm surprised she hasn't endorsed one of the other two more conservative candidates left. To not do so is really telling about her character. To his credit, Perry did it right away, to her discredit, she just lets Romney off the hook. She never really attacked him during her run, why should she begin now?

Romney’s probably coming with a truck load of cash like he did for Haley and Pawlenty.

Socialist scum.

Dear Michelle...

If Newt -- or anyone else does this--
It will simply devolve into a mutually destructive alley-brawl...

Sooo.....

It's time for you to take some brave steps....
Please walk out to the polite boundaries of your preferred calm demeanor and dignified behavior...

And deal with this RINO schoolyard bully in typically effective form.....

Just confront Romney for his lying assault on conservatives....
And kick him where it hurts the most...

Thankyewwwww....

Put nothing past Bachmann. She’s a hypocrical opportunist and nothing else. I refer you to the 2008 conservative fundraiser where she praised Newt as the greatest thing to happen to conservatism since Barry Goldwater. Then when she runs against him for the nomimation she makes up every lie she possibly think of about him and calls him a fake conservative that supported abortion on demand. The fake and frand is Bachmann, and it wouldn’t surprise me in the least if she does end up supporting Willard the liberal.

From the article:

“In fact, the pair (romney/bachmann,) have spoken within the last few days.”

“’She may or may not endorse someone,’ according to the Bachmann confidante.”

If this is true, I hope the Bachmann supporters can admit they were wrong.

Her political career as a principled conservative will have shown to have been a fraud.

If Santorum would throw his Delegates to Romney (because Romney won’t have the Del. count) he would be ruined for any future Presidential run...

Because his conservative credibililty would be completely destroyed.

To each his own....

My point is simply...
At this point in the chain of primary events...

If she decided to kick the Mitt-the-RINO directly in the hurt locker...
...It would certainly have a greater effect than coming from another candidate still in the race...

A negotiating position for someone who’s been hedging her bets with Romney since day 1. On the other hand, with her rather inflated view of her own importance and abilities, she might just be miffed he isn’t begging her to be VP.

"My friends" was a dead giveaway.

As much as I can't stand that loser, it appears we're going to risk doing the same thing again, sending a moderate out there instead of a conservative.

My only real hope at this point is a brokered convention. We need to keep the anti-Willard sentiment stewing long enough that he never gets 50%. (Yes, that means pulling for Ron Paul in VA.)
