Charles, don’t take this the wrong way, but your model would make it possible for Charles Manson to represent us as long as he presented a good platform.

You are ignoring Romney’s history.

Look, you have every right to do so. I’m arguing this academically, you take care.

Charles Manson is a known felon.

However, my model does allow Paul of Tarsus to lead the Christian church.

It would allow Reagan (once a Democrat) to be our President.

Look, I understand the “too quick” argument. It’s the reason I was hoping Fred would get more support, because I would have loved to have Fred for 4-8 years, with Romney as VP proving his conservative credentials.

But that’s a completely different argument than the “he isn’t conservative” argument. Doubt is not fact.

Of course, I’m not saying that Romney is “presenting” a good platform. I’m saying he is believable in presenting that platform. His demeanor, his words, his actions all indicate that he believes what he is saying, and that it is what he will do.
