If large numbers of the "base" line up early behind RINO Romney then other candidates won't test the waters.
Look, I'm already getting phone polls and mail questionaires on possible 2008 candidates. I will not encourage support of Romney or McCain.
As far as I'm concerned the media is helping me prevent the nomination of a milktoast RINO. I want the RINO's out of power at the precinct, county, state and national level.
The time for bloodletting is now. Mitt is a fake that says what will please his listeners. He is a neutically enhanced poser who will NOT fight for conservative principles. We don't need him and we should show him the road now, because he will let the barbarians into the castle if he's put in charge of the gate.

If you think relying on the Boston Globe for your information makes any kind of sense..well, I just can't believe it.
