I'm not ready to put "Romney" in with Reagan, far from it.

Like my tagline says, I don't care for Mitt particularly, but the alternative is simply inconceivable.

With the choice of Ryan, I'm going to give Mitt a little slack all the way to the White House. This choice signals a genuine intent to get rid of Obamacare, deal with the budget and entitlements, etc.

What's not to like?

“This choice signals a genuine intent to get rid of Obamacare, deal with the budget and entitlements, etc.”

Exactly!

Suppose Mitt's environment in Mass. was the reason for his seemingly liberal positions. Consider that he's a Mormon, and conservative by nature. We know he's good at assessing situations, so he clearly can see what's happening to our country and what needs to be done to fix it, which is his speciality.

We know he wants to free the energy industry to get the boom started. Add a bold conservative like Ryan, and a bunch more T-Partiers to Congress....

....we could be in for a pleasant surprise.
