The press is circulating Republican-insiders stories again, this time saying Mr. Electable is unelectable.
Don’t buy the latest spin from Democrats. Conservatives should stay calm, cool and collected.
Mitt Romney is the most presidential of Republican nominees since 1988. He looks the part, he acts the part and lives the part. He has worked his way up and made it on his own even though his father was a prominent businessman and successful governor. He is the grown-up in the room whose blandness is a strikingly attractive alternative to the All Trauma Obama presidency. Over the years he has taken progressively more responsible positions — from head of the Mormon mission in France to CEO of Bain Capital — that have built his self-confidence and the trust of others. When people talk about the Republican establishment, they are really talking about the successful people who will make up his government. This is about running a government.
President John McCain? Come on. What were we thinking? OK, the bench was thin. President Bush forgot to develop an heir.
Mitt Romney’s blandness is a plus because he exudes grace under pressure. He gets flustered. But he grins and bears it. This will serve him well in a very ugly campaign, perhaps the ugliest since 1800. We know after 4 years of watching President Obama that he is extremely vulnerable under pressure. He cracks. His temper tantrum against the Supreme Court showed how intellectually empty he is. My goodness, it is unprecedented to have justices turn down a law? Talk about acting stupidly. The pressure must be applied carefully and consistently.

Funny, that’s what liberals say, too.
This guy has it all wrong! It's the CONSERVATIVES who are saying Romney is unelectable BECAUSE IT'S TRUE. If the Dems are in fact saying that Romney is unelectable, IT'S BECAUSE THEY GOT IT FROM *US*.
Furthermore, we CONSERVATIVES want to stay calm, cool and collected as WE BEAT ROMNEY'S @SS IN THE PRIMARY.
I'm calm. I'm cool. See? :-)
I haven’t heard Conservatives bashing his sucess or his money. What I hear is people bashing his lack of Conservatiism and his lack of people skills, I’m not sensitive about his reaching into his pocket and offer to place a $10,000 bet, although some are. I’m sevsitive to his lack of Conservatism and if you notice he doesn’t seriously even try to reachout to them. I’ll not consider Romney as long as there are alternatives, he hasn’t considered me.
Fine is not enough.
Let's abort babies to get along? No, thx.
I’m from MA. I know what Romney’s like. As an executive, I don’t see him being as liberal as Nixon. He see’s which way the winds blow and if more conservatives are elected to congress, he’ll move in that direction. He’s not a principled and determined man like Reagan. That’s why I see him more as an Eisenhower, a sort-of milquetoast, moderate politician. Not an activist like a Hoover or a go along with whatever the congress passes like Nixon. And not an agenda setter like Reagan. Typical of Romney, some sort of meandering executive.
Why in hell should we have to survive eight more years of Romney and another Democrat when we can wait four more years and elect a conservative?
Why should we let the Republican party slide back into a minority in Congress, all while Romney works with RINOs to pass legislation Obama could only dream of passing?
That is a fine article, well presented from a clear thinker.
Huff glue, it makes things better...
Oh, I almost forgot: “EARTH PIMPS!” Ping.
Are you old enough to remember 1994?
You need to do some in depth research, not relying upon the liberal media.
I can’t begin to tell how wrong you are.
Because all the House did with that huge 2010 mandate was blow it in playing follow the Boehner.
And, less principled and honorable than those three.
Romney as as big a liar as Bill Clinton with a more liberal record and far less charisma.
This is why I never contribute $1.00 on my tax returns towards the Presidential Campaign Fund.
“What of liberty?
What of reigning in out of control gov’t spending”
What of massive change that is needed?
What of reigning in the fed?”
I think he’ll probably rein in some spending. The rest I am not sure.
“You add to that simply NOT putting execrable leftists on the Federal judiciary, at NLRB and the other alphabet soup regulation boards, and ending Obama’s hidden amnesty and kowtowing to our enemies, and you’ve got reason enough to be thrilled to fire Obama.”
I can only assume he’ll appoint better judges than Obama has.
Obama has demonstrated he’ll nominate the most execrable of leftists.
I don’t think Romney as a great savior of the Republic, just that he will do less damage than O, and possibly some good in the financial and foreign policy areas.
My hopes are not high.
“So who are we to believe, your hope, or his campaign staff. “
I’ve heard him state repeatedly he’s going to get rid of Obamacare.
Of course he could be lying.
We can go with Obama, who champions Obamacare, or Romney, who SAYS he’ll repeal it.
So call it hope if you want, I think we have a chance with Romney and none whatsoever with Obama. That’s just how I see it.
P,
I agree. Unfortunately, Newtonium has proven unelectable this go round. I don’t see anyone else who has the potential to make massive changes.
Willard is a get a long guy. Any pork any rinos want to add to bills will not be opposed. I fear as much from a Willard win as an Obama win.
“Romney’s watered down Republicanism will not “fix” anythign and the economy will stagnate “
All he’s got to do is approve the Keystone pipeline and some drilling here and there, lay off the coal plants, chip away at welfare, cancel Obamacare -
all of which I do believe he’ll do if elected, and I am not a Romney cheerleader.
This economy would take off like a rocket.
Yes, but only because it has been held down so long. The problem is it would only go up for abut 2 year and long term sustained growth will slow.... leading to the next election, I hope it would be enough, but I fear it being a “slow lingering” recovery...
Don, you ignorant slut.
