Thank you for posting this. I have never read so much hate written for a republican candidate as that written about Romney. I voted for Ron Paul, here in Louisiana. I knew he would not win, but I did not want to vote for Santorum. Newt had no chance here either. He even got booed visiting Tulane, his old Alma Mater. In the coming election I will vote for the Republican nominee, if it is Romney, he will get my vote. I believe that Andrew Britbart had it right at CPAC, when he said the same thing. Anybody but Obama. Romney has one thing that Obama does not have...Romney has a heart. Yes, I have done my own research on Romney, since we are not getting anything good about Roomney here.

Author makes 3 points:

1) Romney makes gaffes "y'all, grits, etc".

2) Romney not so popular

3) Romney flip-flops

Then because of these he maintains he will lose to Obama. Wait...Obama never gaffes, is popular and never flip-flops?

What a ridiculous column. I don't like Romney, but this writing is trash.

I am not as upset with Romney’s flip flops as I am with the issues that Romney refuses to flip on, namely Romneycare.

The only significant difference between Romneycare and Obamacare is the state mandate vs the federal mandate, yet Romney has refused to admit that any type of socialized medicine would be a disaster for the country.

The federal mandate is unconstitutional, but it isn’t the only problem that conservatives have with government run health care.

Romney is doing so well he lost 8 Republican states to Santorum. Romney has only won 7 or 8 democrat leaning states that will go for Obama. And he won 4 purple states. He has only 2 republican states. Romney is doing “well” because rino cronies live in liberal states in both parties. Those are not the conservative tea party base. The good-guys are far out numbered in those states.

Wonder if it’s possible to put together a list of publically known delegates we can contact to tell them ABR before ABO.

Romney has NO base

Not entirely true. He's got the Mormons and the Peggy Noonan/Dana PeRINO-ish RINOs. Although we're never quite sure if the latter will end up voting for Obama.

I don't know. If conservatives know that a strong, consistent, young, and ethically and morally clean conservative is the heir apparent, it may well play against apathy. (I am thinking of Paul Ryan, but I don't know how he will play outside the Badger State.) Plus the economic circumstances are closer to those of 1980 and 1992, when incumbents were defeated, than 1996 or 2004. Ironically, Gingrich and the Republican Congress forced Clinton to the center after the 1994 elections, helping to boost the economy through tax cuts and controls on spending. The resultant economic turnaround greatly benefited Clinton's re-election. Traditional Democrat Keynesianism, including the stimulus packages, has likely prolonged the recession, resulting in a sluggish economy.

Romney is way more of an overachiever than Dole or McCain were. He is not going through the motions.

I will absolutely vote for Romney. Obama is a hard leftist—a communist. Romney is nowhere near that.

Neither was Bill Clinton. But most of us were hoping for a better choice than Barack Obama and Bill Clinton this election.

Mitt may not be our panacea, but “O” and his czars and federal regulators could get totally out of control in a 2nd term.

What's better, a newly rebranded liberal-led Republican party with a mandate and a majority in Congress who will do whatever their leader Mitt wants? Or an unpopular left-wing President who will be gridlocked by a Republican Congress from doing anything? Not to mention, the opposing party usually wins seats 2 years after a President is elected, which means Mitt might have a Democrat Congress to play footsie with in 2014. And he certainly loved rubber-stamping everything the Dems wanted in Taxachusetts.

According to Real Cleat Politics polling, Santorum polls best against Obama.

Did you intentionally lie like that? Or are you simply unable to access current polling data?

He wasn't lying. You need to check Real CLEAT Politics. Santorum still has the most popular footwear.

Stop making sense! You'll give the Romneybots a headache!

Romney isn’t supposed to win the presidency, he’s only supposed to win the Republican nomination. The liberals get to decide the nominees for both parties. The Republican nomination process needs to be scrapped. The Democrats have figured out how to game it. All this baloney about which state has the first primary is baloney. Hold them all the same day. The Democrats are way more serious about politics than the Republicans. They are more serious because they are in politics to loot the public treasury.

And Romney will undoubtedly carry California and New York. This is why we get moderates. We let blue states pick our nominees. Perhaps the Republican party could address this by giving added weight to delegates from those states that went Republican in the previous election? If not, we will forever be doomed to candidates palatable to California and New York voters, while continuing to lose those states in the general election.

Yes, you will be blamed by the Party pukes and the liberals of the party. Remember, loyalty is a one way street with this bunch. You and other conservatives will be excoriated, preached at, talked down to even more, yet you will not be asked to leave the party because they can’t win without you.

Them losing the election without your support because they pushed through a liberal as the nominee will not even register as a brain fart in their closed minds.
