I agree with you that we should not rule out the possibility of Romney winning the nomination. The other day someone posted a vanity asking the elephant-in-the-room question: if Romney won the nomination, would you vote for him? Many said they would. Jim Robinson has repeatedly said he wouldn't allow FR to be used to support Romney should that happen, and since he's the owner, Freepers will honor his rule. I guess we'll just have to wait and see how things unfolded.

This commentary wasn't about the primaries but was about the general election. Mr. Romney has a good chance to win the nomination, but that outcome isn't certain. Either way, my point is not about what happens in the primaries but what will happen in the general election.

If Free Republic wants to be against Mitt Romney's nomination or against his election if he wins the nomination, that's the site's choice. However, trying to fool yourselves into believing that Mitt Romney isn't the candidate most likely to defeat Obama is foolish. If you want to oppose him in the primaries in spite of the strength that he'd bring to the general election, that's your choice. If you want to vote 3rd party if he wins the nomination, that's your choice. You can even pretend that he's not the most likely candidate to beat Obama, but when someone makes such a ridiculous statement, I'm going to point out why that statement is wrong.

Rommey may get a few more votes than McCain did, but he still will not get enough, unless Dems vote for him, which would not really surprise me. They all like John Holdren. Peeee yuuuuu. 100 years (or more) of establishment Republicans seems to have done little good for conservatives or the country in general. I won’t vote for the man, who like John Kerry feels that the country owes him the Presidency since the day of his birth (Governor for a father and Senator for a mother).

Romney cannot win against obama nor is he the most likely of the current GOP candidates. This is a farcical lie being promoted by the RINO GOP elitists.

Far too many conservatives have strong, sound and extremely understandable reasons to completely reject his candidacy. He's simply not acceptable as a republican nor does he represent the view of conservative republicans outside of a DNC rally.

He's disqualified already in the eyes of many simply because of romneycare.

There are too many other reason to list to reject him.

For the GOP elite to ignore this is simple suicidal idiocy.

I'd rather see the nation burn and rebuild from ashes than elect someone who basically agrees with obama on obamacare on every single point.

You can never convince enough people to change their opinion on this to make it even remotely possible for romney to win. Any projection of a romney victory is based in severe delusion.
