Mitt Romney talks to FOX News' Megyn Kelly about attracting support from conservative voters.
"When you ask in these prior elections, 'who as conservatives did you vote?,' I won the conservative vote. Some who are very conservative may not yet be in my camp, but they will be when I become the nominee, when I face Barack Obama. Because again, what the nation wants is someone who understands the economy, not, if you will, an economy lightweight. I mean, Senator Santorum is a nice guy but he does not understand how the economy works. He's never had a job in the real economy. You have to understand this economy in order to fix it," he said.

That’s exactly how we got Obama to begin with.
~Snort...I haven't used a slide rule since 1977, your statement reminds me of the good ol' days. : D
Romney is just as Marxist, he just hides it better.
Not bloody likely.
And Mittens, what would you do when you don’t get the nomination? What happens to your minions, Rove, Schidmt, Rollins, etc.?
Sorry, Mittens. I held my nose for Dole and McLame . . . I'll not do it again. Your a go__amn democrat and make me sick every time I think about your stupid lies. Somehow, you're going to steal the nomination for genuine conservatives.
And if you get in office, you won't do a damn thing to straighten things out. You're a DEMOCRAT! GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!
The DIMS picked our candidate. They have been telling the MSM, the GOP base, and the rest of their liberal voters who make it happen, that Romney is our candidate, and will really give Obama a run.....OH REALLY?? Conservative voters who don’t like Romney are not on board, and when push comes to shove, they just may not vote for him. It is true some say, whoever runs will get the vote of whoever becomes the candidate. I don’t think so. I hope the race goes all the way to the convention...Bring it on.
No thanks...... now get off my porch.
Willard is underestimating the McCain effect. That is many of us held our noses and voted for McCain (even then mostly bc he had Palin on the ticket) and what did that get us?
I doubt Willard will have a Palin on his ticket. Probably a Christie or a J Bush?
Not going to get anyone except the GOP-e excited.
I would vote for another four years of Clinton before id vote for Obama. If Mitt wins the nomination, he’s correct, we’ll be forced to support him. I hope a miracle comes true, and Newt pulls out a long shot.
Questions?
Questions?
Questions?
Not this time.
It’s the blue bloods turn to hold their nose when they vote, cause Mitt damn sure ain’t getting the conservative vote if TPTB are supercilious enough to force him on us.
And yes, that means I would prefer a second marxist Obama term to another Republican acting as PR flack and liaison to the marxist left.
Go play in traffic Mitt.
I will be a fighter, going with Newt all the way to Con. No Newt, me and the better half are doing write ins.
If Mittens is enivitable, then Newt can pledge his delegates in return for the VP spot.
One hour after Mitt is sworn in, we impeach and remove him.
I will never vote for mittens.
