I've been saying since January that it wouldn't matter who gets the Republican nomination, Obama will still lose. Sure, I wanted it to be Sarah Palin, then Herman Cain, then Rick Santorum. But when it came down to Romney I was disappointed but knew that the election would be his to lose.

Mitt Romney certainly has his shortcomings but he can defeat Obama and right now, that is the primary goal. Once in office, we'll need a conservative majority in the House and the senate to keep Romney's liberal proclivities in check but, despite the constant criticism on FR, Romney will be 1000 times better for America (and the economy) than Obama.

Herman Cain was my first choice, but I voted for Rick Santorum in the Super Tuesday Primary and now my vote will go to our next President Mitt RomneyHe definitely will be 1000 times better then that arrogant pos we have now

“despite the constant criticism on FR, Romney will be 1000 times better for America (and the economy) than Obama. “

Indeed. Which tells you just how truly awful Comrade Hussein has been for America. In developing your political calculus a bit further, I think we can safely say that Romney is only about .1 times as good as Ronald Reagan, which would then make our current Communist-in-Chief 10,000 times worse than Ronald Reagan, which I think comes out about right.

And yes, Romney was not my first choice (or 2nd, 3rd, etc.), but as they say, Romney may be a lying weasel, but he’s OUR lying weasel, and I for one will be supporting him over Obama. After all, I’d vote for a syphilitic camel over Obama, so voting for Romney isn’t that much bigger of a stretch.

(And Romney has in fact handled himself very well in front of the cameras of the hostile press, as well as making some pretty darn good speeches.)
