I’d choose Romney on his worst day over a democrat.

His worst day? Like the day he signed a permanent assault weapons ban? Or the day he implemented gay marriage? Or the day he signed socialized medicine into law, complete with taxpayer-funded abortions? Or one of his other "worst" days?

Not even Hillary had so many "bad days."

“Like the day he signed a permanent assault weapons ban?”

He never did that. He signed an NRA-supported bill that corrected flaws in the 1998 AWB. If he had not signed that bill, the AWB would have still been in place and worse.

” Or the day he implemented gay marriage?”
He never did that, it was the Massachusetts state supreme court that declared Massachusetts already allowed it (never mind the lack of reasoning for the ruling, but they did it).
Romney opposed gay marriage forcefully from the get go, worked to get the lege to act, and was prevented from resisting implementation by the lib Dem AG.

” Or the day he signed socialized medicine into law”
What he supported was designed by the conservative Heritage foundation. It’s a plan that puts universal coverage available via private insurers, not ‘socialized medicine’. He had to compromise w/ Mass libs on it, but his plan proposed now works on market and federalist principles.

In truth, Mitt Romney is one of our best chances to have a mainstream conservative Governance in the White House in 2009. There is a lot of hyperbole in the attacks on Mitt Romney based on selective distortion of his fiscal conservative and pro-family record as Mass Governor.Not a right winger, but hardly a Hillary either.

We’ve only been around this track about 50 times EV, but that is how I see it. Romney will make a good President.
