RE: So let me ask you out there who despise Romney: are you going to sit on your hands in the next election and give Obama another victory, as you did in 2008?
Let’s put it this way. I am in a train hurtling towards the cliff. I want to leave the train, but it ain’t easy.
Would I prefer a driver named Barack who accelerates the train to 100 MPH, or would I settle for a driver named Mitt who accelerates the train to 70 MPH?
I think I’d like to buy a little more time so that I can make plans to jump off if possible.
I wonder; when Herman Cain leads all major polls in a couple weeks, will the media still call Romney the “front-runner?”
RE: Poll: Cain surges, opens up 20-point lead on Romney
I’d be quite happy with this news if it came from Rasmussen. Zogby has been quite inaccurate the past few election cycles.
All this pushing Romney isn’t going to convince me to vote for him. If the republicans gave me him as the nominee, I will not vote for him. It’s a guaranteed win for Obama.
Every time I hear one of the cable talking heads refer to Romney as the front-runner, I want to scream!
If it does come down to Romney vs. Obama, I plan to spend the time I can spare supporting local candidates.

These are the Mahdi Republicans who think that if the left destroys the country and that if the GOP loses election after election the next Reagan will appear. Of course we were told in 2008 that 0bama was no worse than Carter and in 2012 the country would run to the next Reagan.
On the fence about Cain? Out of the batch running, I think he is one of the better ones. The only thing that gives me concern is his 999 plan. One of the 9’s is a nat’l sales tax. That could be a really bad thing down the road if the Rats take over and raise it.
Why are you hesitant about Cain?
He has the money to do it. No one else does. Cain is linked to Romney, and doesn’t have the money to campain.
I hate it, but right now it looks like Romney will by default.
So you are enjoying seeing the country fall apart, good Americans in real pain out of work and losing their homes and businesses failing? You will be happy with Obamacare still on the books?
I’m of a similar mind. Romney is my absolute last choice for the GOP nomination, and there’s no way I’d ever support him in a primary vote.
If he does become the nominee, however...gonna be hard to say no. For all the Obama-lite tendencies Romney has, he’s still not Obama. And I think above all else, we have to vote Obama out in 2012.
See what I mean?
Been there done that to death.
RE: i voted for two bush turds.
Think of it this way, if most conservatives stayed home in 2000, we’d have a President Al Gore and cap and trade.
If if most conservatives stayed home in 2004, we’d have a President John Kerry.
RE: Why are you hesitant about Cain?
Huck is one of those guys who almost never responds to this question. Many have asked him the same question and his response is always SILENCE.
Romney is a phony and a fraud.
Willard will never get my vote, primary, general, whatever!
And all that would change how if Romney got the nomination?
Unfortunately, gentlemen, the libs are not as fastidious as you are. They will vote for Obama, no matter how angry they may be now. If you stay home, congratulating yourself on how pure you are, you will allow them to re-elect him.
I like the formulation of some poster further upstream: “Mahdi Republicans.” You who are waiting to vote until St. Reagan is reincarnated are keeping Obama in the White House. Wake up! Reagan isn’t coming back to life before 2012.
I held my nose and voted for the last republican establishment candidate. It won't happen again. The establishment getting the 'no more rinos' message is more important to me than 'He will do less damage than Obama' candidate.
