Who’s pushing Mitt Romney to lose to Obama in 2012 now?

After watching McCain come from being broke and in last place (where he belonged) to securing the nomination in 08, I feel pretty helpless that I can make a difference in the nomination process. Plus, I live in NC.

[freespirited]

I actually think Romney could win in 2012 were it not for his religion (scary, I know).

This is because I expect the economy to be in such shambles after 4 years of Obummer that the most important quality with the electorate will be someone with strong economic credentials. Romney has certainly done well in the financial world.

Now I’m depressed.

Whoever our candidate is, they need to stay below the MSM radar for as long as possible. I think Bush did a good job of this in 2000. The longer the MSM has, the more damage they will do to the GOP candidate. JMO.

[Logical me]

However, I will write in my preference for President. If they do not allow write in candidates, I will write on it anyway so that they get my mesage loud and clear.

That's how King Obama got elected. Pissed off voters that just because they didn't get their favorite candidate they were no vote, or write in. Thanks. Life is always filled with going with the lesser of the two evils if you end up with two choices and if you never learned that your are going to have one hell of a time in life. Who gives a darn what you write on a ballot that nobody reads.

Why would we put our number 2 guy up against him?

If only that were true.

In spite of the massive amounts of time and money Mitt Romney invested in the 2008 race, he didn't come in second.

Romney came in a really lousy third. Huckabee came in second, despite having spent much less money and much less time campaigning.

I'm not saying this in support of Huckabee. I am saying it because Romney is a nightmare candidate, funded by an endless ego and an almost endless sack of cash. He has almost no chance of winning, but every chance of ruining it for a more viable candidate in 2012.

[roylene]

Oh please. Mitt will not win. He financed his own campaign last time and lost. He is a flipping liberal. He wins America loses again.

That’s nonsense and how we get candidates like McCain and Mitt. These guys are the same darn thing as Obama and the “lesser of two evils” mantra is going to deliver us to hell in a handbasket.
I left the Republican party because of sellouts the likes of those two jokers, Huckabee, Newt, Graham, etc.
It is up to the RNC to bring people like me back into the fold. I am not going to chase after some unprincipled loser because he sucks slightly less than Obummer.
The so-called Right is as responsible for the current state of our country as any Democrat and if they don’t wise up then they deserve to lose.

Romney's $150 million he spent was equally matched by Fox News contribution-in-kind to his campaign with their blatant favoritism, thumb on the scale to get him the nomination. They've been doing it again, every day, since November 4th, 2008 with every one of their “reporters” and “panelists”. You incredibly had the spectacle of Carl Cameron(chief peddler of slanders on Sarah Palin by anonymous critics), after doing a report on CPAC, showing up on the set of Special Report with Mitt Romney's book in hand with a gushing smile on his face, hawking it like a door-to-door salesman. They're shameless in their active, out in the open promotion of Romney and their denigration/diminishment of Palin. Their active support/promotion of Romney rivals NBC/MSNBC “News” active support/promotion of Obama. The Special Report “Grapevine” segment by mush-mouthed, nasally beta-boy Brett Baer has been utilized as a tool to denigrate Palin disguised as straight news since Nov 2008. Baer used it to “report” on Vanity Fair's hit piece on Palin of anonymous sources, used it to report falsely that Palin violated the law setting up her legal defense fund, used it to report falsely the Jonathan Martin(who used second hand sources) story about Palin at the Wisconsin for Life event, used it to report the anonymous sourced stories in the book Game Change. Baer actually read on air these hurtful reputation destroying accounts from anonymous sources, without identifying that they were anonymous sources. AND YOU DIMWITS AT C4P CONTINUE TO CLAIM FOX NEWS IS ON YOUR SIDE.
