If he wins the Republican primaries fair and square I will vote for him. I didn’t like it when the liberal Republicans sat out the Goldwater campaign and I can’t see sitting out this one. Anyone who believes Romney would not be an improvement over Obama needs to be examined.
A marginal improvement at best. Romeny is just another big-government liberal.
It was his type who enabled us to get in the mess we're in now.
We don't need another one of those.
I held my nose and voted for McCain in '08. I will not do that again.
There are good conservative prospects out there and we need to get one of them at the top of that ticket.
I won't. Romney would be a disaster for conservatism because it would lead to the enactment of the liberal agenda under a supposed "conservative" and/or "bipartisan" fig leaf.
There is zero chance Romney can beat Obama in the general election -- despite my misgivings over certain other potential candidates, I can say that about none of the others. Romney's weakest points provide cover for Obama's weakest points, and the swing voters aren't going to pick Obama-lite when they have the real thing on the menu.
The biggest problem with Romney as GOP flagbearer is that it's going to be a tremendous weight tied to the ankles of the downticket races. No way doe the GOP reclaim the Senate with Romney as the candidate, and they'll do well just to hold the House. Plus statewide races, which would reverse the current change in tide in favor of Republicans.
