Romney is getting the nomination. I am beyond pissed.

It is going to be Romney...he will likely do everything he can into talking Rubio into the #2 position. Then it is hold the nose time. I am probably amongst the very few here who think Romney will beat Obama (that's my silver lining on the dark cloud). I don't like Romney, but I can see that he will pull enough independents and p.o'd business type Democrats (believe it or not, they are out there) to win. He's getting it the only way he ever could, with the most ridiculous Democrat in the history of ridiculous Democrats as the sitting president.

The question isn’t whether Romney can win. Must as I really dislike him, there’s no question that he’d beat Obama because he can get more indendents and crossover Dems disgusted with Obama.

But I think Bachman makes a great point. THIS year of all years, we don’t need to settle. Any decent candidate will beat him.

I’m a Newt supporter. But I can get behind Cain with no problem whatsoever if it comes to that.

I believe Romney can beat him, also, and I will even go out on a limb and predict that Palin will endorse him. She has repeatedly emphasized the importance of rendering Obama a one-termer; with that in mind, I don't know how she could come to any other decision. I might be mistaken, but it seems I read she was somewhat of a Romney supporter before she was plucked for the VP slot in 2008. I'll have to do a little digging on that.

I love Herman Cain and will continue to support his campaign, but I have few illusions about a primary nomination. I hope for another outcome, but am doubtful about about his ability to pull in independents and disillusioned cross-over voting Democrats. If events don't play out in his favor, he should be brought on board(in some capacity)in recognition of his talents. I think he would be a great asset.

I'm probably in the minority, but I'm not excited about the prospect of Rubio as VP pick. Too mushy on the illegals issue, and that renders other conservative bona-fides meaningless to me.

Marco Rubio is no more a natural born citizen than Obama, and anybody who pushes him for POTUS or VP has no respect for the Constitution.
