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? Or will you hold your nose and vote for Mitt, if he’s the nominee?
And would it help if Herman Cain were the vice-presidential nominee?
Frankly, I’d vote for a bluetick hound if it were running against Obama. This country can’t wait for the perfect candidate to manifest himself in 2016.

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.

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.
Been there done that to death.
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.
It’s too early to start that talk. Let’s work on getting someone else as our nominee.
I'll cross that bridge when I get there. In the meantime, I know that there needs to be one candidate who is the "anti-Romney" so we don't get a McCain effect. In 08, Romney was establishment pick. McCain was the "independent" and "budget hawk"pick. Huckabee was the social conservative pick. Ron Paul has his crowd. The rest of us picked the least worst. McCain won by default.
Until I have to make my general election choice, I will be voting for not Romney. I can support Cain and I can support Perry. If one of them runs away with this, that's my vote.
