GOP Insiders Near Unanimous in Predicting Romney Nomination (Includes Full List of GOP Insiders)
National Journal ^

Posted on 10/28/2011 9:43:08 AM PDT by Windy City Conservative

The large Republican presidential field, along with the dramatic surges and collapses of several of its candidates, may ultimately be much ado about nothing. That, at least, is the conclusion of the Republican strategists surveyed in this week's National Journal Political Insiders Poll, who almost unanimously identified Mitt Romney as the most likely candidate to win the nomination. In the five times the GOP Insiders have been asked that question in 2011, Romney has never surrendered the top spot.

A full list of the GOP Insiders and the Democrat Insiders who predict the Romney nomination is included in this article. Janet Napolitano is on the list. WTH. Forward this list to all conservatives you know, so we can all see who runs the GOP and who all the kingmakers are. The usual suspects, Dana Perino, Ken Mehlman, etc.

Whew, glad the insiders don’t want my vote. I’ll save a spot O’ink by not marking the presidential section.

He’s not my first pick. But, ignoring him if he gets the nomination is a vote for Obama. We have to remember that, because a win for Obama will be devastating for the nation.

Note to GOP: I will not cast a vote for Romney. He is a democrat and therefore, I have no use for him, his healthcare, or love affair with homosexual action committees. I wish he’d get the hell out of our party. He’s a big “D” democrat.

This could mean the end of the Republican party. It could break apart if Romney is nominated.

Well, it is his turn, after all. He's been running for 8+ years.

Of course he’s the most likely. Historically, Republicans nominate the next in line against a one-term Democrat. Reagan, Dole, McCain. To break the “tradition” Conservatives have to come behind a single candidate. Unfortunately, we can’t agree on the single candidate.

Same ‘ol.

Amen Brother These people predict Romney as the Republican Candidate, I predict another 4 years of Obama if he doesnt’t go to jail first for Fast & Furious.

We have to remember that, because a win for Obama will be devastating for the nation.

1 - Romney isn't very different from Obama.
2 - Maybe its time for a rebellion. Obama could easily start that.
3 - I won't vote for Romney, so matter what. I'm not alone in this thinking. The idiots within the GOP better start listening to their constituents.
4 - Did I mention that I won't vote for Romney, no matter what?

“We have to remember that, because a win for Obama will be devastating for the nation.”

When they think what happens when O gets another 4 year term to make court apointments they will change their mind. look for Kennedy and Scalia to possibly retire in the near future. Then again the people here largely supported Romney over over Mccain there years ago when it came down that choice.

That is not true. If conservatives would just take the House and the Senate, they could stymie anything Obama tries. For that matter, they could stymie anything Romney tries too, except they won’t. The key is for conservatives to take the Congress. Most of them just don’t know how.
