There are lots of Republicans who will vote for the candidate they think can beat either Senator Clinton or Obama in November. "Just win, baby," is Al Davis' memorable phrase, and the need to keep the White House in center-right hands during the war and as four to six Supreme Court vacancies looms matters more than any particular issue.
The GOP voter who wants the best shot looks at McCain and Thompson and thinks "Bob Dole." They look at Huck and think "We'd lose 45 states, maybe more."
They wonder where Rudy went and if he'll be back.
In Iowa and New Hampshire, the Al Davis Republicans will be voting for Romney.

I look at both Huckster and Joe Isuzu Romney and think “We’d lose 45 states, maybe more.”
And we wonder where the soul of the Republican party has gone...
“Al Davis Republicans?” What’s that? A bunch of senile old men who lose 12-14 times a season, screw up their draft, and live off a long distant past?
If Mitt is our standard bearer we will be effectively running our own John Kerry. If that is what we want and if we think the left will not deconstruct him, his religion, his phony health care plan (which is indistinguishable from Hillary), and his phony conservatism then we are naive.
Hugh Hewitt is everything that is wrong with todays GOP.
If Mitt is so electable, why is he in a dead heat with someone like Huckabee who he has much more money, many more political advisors than and he has Limbaugh, Hewitt, Drudge National Review, and other prominent conservatives trying to prop him up and tear Huckster down at every chance and he STILL isn’t inspiring anyone.
It should be noted that Al Davis himself is actually quite liberal, and a diehard democrat.
Mitt Romney has astoundingly poor favorable ratings nationally. He has completely alienated independents with his phony flip-flopping and obvious pandering.
From Rasmussen:
Romney has a 38% favorable rating and 51% unfavorable. He has the lowest favorable rating of any major candidate and one of the highest unfavorables.
He's completely unelectable.

Even before the primaries, the painful truth is obvious:
“Anybody but a Democrat”.
There really is no alternative. The worst Republican candidate imaginable is better than ANY Democrat.
The Democrat party has fallen that far. They can no longer be entrusted with the office of the President, not until they redeem themselves, or collapse to be replaced by a new party that has at least some responsibility.
They are so incompetent with foreign policy that they may very well cause a war that they could force us to lose. And while neither party is very good at protecting our borders from illegal aliens, the Democrats cannot be trusted to protect our borders from an invading foreign army.
They could bring about another great depression, and one far worse than the last great depression. They could panic, and place our nation under martial law, abolishing elections altogether, while truly believing that they *had* to do it.
They could order our military to attack the people, again, out of ignorance and fear.
It is not just corruption, greed and the lust for power that makes them dangerous to our nation. It is that they are delusional. The world in their minds is an insane place, where day is night, up is down, and wrong is right.
And while we can argue about the differences between Republican candidates, no one would suggest that one should not be elected because he is delusional, or literally mad. That he does not see or act in the same reality that we do. We know that the color green is to him the same color as it is to us.
But we cannot say that about the Democrat candidates. For them, the world is a fantasy realm, magic is real, and if everyone just claps their hands, Tinkerbell will live.
Those are not people to entrust with our lives.
A shill of the worst kind.
I agree; I would NEVER vote for Romney -— even against Hillary.
The worst Republican candidate is no better than the Democrats and, in fact, is probably worse.
I suppose you think Schwarzenegger is doing great things for California and for the Republican Party?
Maybe, but Jimmah Carter’s disaster gave us Reagan.
The Republican party will just give us RINOs unless we revolt, and that is a slow death -— e.g., RomneyCare is HillaryCare on the installment plan.
If act now, before it is too late for our nation, we can recover.
If we piddle along with RINOs, we’ll eventually be too weak to recover.
The GOP voter who wants the best shot looks at ... Thompson and thinks “Bob Dole.”
I look at Mitt and think “Clinton gun-grabber.” and “Barf.” and “third party vote.”
“I look at Fred and think “Conservative.” “Even better than Reagan.”
I look at Mitt and think “Clinton gun-grabber.” and “Barf.” and “third party vote.””
Me, too.
Huckabee offered “our apologies” for the assassination of former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto?
Huckabee’s comments are not consistent a person who understands the nature of the world we live in. America is not apologizing for anything. We are at war with Islamic terrorists, does he understand this?
Label me ...Dumbo
Foreign policy......he doesn't have a clue!
Apologize for what? Apologize for who?
He has no right to apologize for the U.S. or me.
Because the liberals have infiltrated the party and think candidates like Rudy, Huck, Mitt are true conservatives.

Rush Limbaugh devoted a large portion of his first show since the holidays to criticizing Mike Huckabee's candidacy and offering a disapproving bottom-line assessment of the former governor.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Gov. Huckabee, mighty fine man and is a great Christian, is not a conservative, he’s just not," Limbaugh said. "If you look at his record as governor, he’s got some conservative tendencies on things but he’s certainly not the most conservative of the candidates running on the Republican side."
Just me ...Democrat in disguise
When Rush speaks ...conservatives listen!
Photogenic family comes to mind. Don't look like they aborted any kids. Married to the same woman for 40 years! WOW! Mitt Romney is actually living the moral life that everyone talks about.
