Never. I’ve never understood the appeal of Romney to Republicans. I think it goes back to the idea that they think some how there is a thing called an “easy win”. When reality kicks in races are just as tough or more so for “moderate” Republicans. The biggest difference is caused by name rec and money. Conservatives have been used over and over again but this year we see that conservatives can win and be competitive across the board. The worst thing we can do is support some one who was on the for front of govt run Health care plans. Romney and his core support want to dilute conservatism not make it stronger.
He is the only candidate I heard liberal Obama supporters saying they could consider and that is a big disqualification in my book. As for those who say Palin can’t win. Many said the same about Obama and he did.
I hope Palin runs and I’d love it if she chose a conservative woman running mate.
I’m tired of the old Machiavellian men who see the citizen to be bypassed and liberty to be abridged for the sake of the govt and acquisition of power.
The one other person that comes to mind as Presidential material is Gov Christie but he isn’t running and NJ needs him.
All the obvious choices are already in places we need them: Bachman, Christie, Ryan, Cantor, etc., etc. I do like Palin and she's available.
