Mark Levin: We have to demand that candidates, who ask for our votes, hold fast to our principles and values, because those are never up for negotiation or to be treated as a political expedient.
We can fight like hell to defeat Obama and elect Romney and not sell out our core principles, and that's what we're forced to do and that's what we're going to do. Polls be damned; commentators be damned; analyses be damned. That's what each and every one of us have to be committed to.
So yes, I understand the anxiety, I have it too. But we must beat Obama. We must take the Senate. We must hold the House. And then the Grand Old Party has no excuses of any kind. If it winds up being another Bush administration, or Ford administration, or Nixon administration, they all have to go. I've been saying for the longest time the leaders of this party are weak and they need to go already.

Thanks for your reply. Your points are well taken. We know them, Romney knows them.
What Romney doesn’t know is that voters don’t know HIM. I like your ideas about crayons!
Romney absolutely cannot pound his chest and pledge to do battle with Commie Obama.
Romney must define what he will do that differs from Obama. The bigger the difference in actions will produce a greater plurality for Romney on Election Day.
You and I know this but Romney is to politically stupid to even consider that this MUST be done if he wants to win BIG!
The hour grows late for Romney to declare an all out battle with Obama.
Romney must get that old fire-in-the-belly in his speeches or he will just drift away in the counter-culture winds of our times - - - .
The events of 9/11 aside, I felt a huge sense of betrayal when republicans took control of everything in 2001 and squandered it rather than getting to work replacing the tax code, reducing the reach and size of federal government, and reforming entitlements. Instead we got more government involvement in education, more environmental restrictions, and a more convoluted tax code. I have little real hope of a Romney administration not making the same mistake, but it has to be better than another Obama term.
We shall see.
