It is time for Republicans to get serious. After flirting with just about every candidate in a large presidential field, is is time to come home to the one candidate who has the demonstrated ability to run the largest organization in the United States, the Executive Branch of the federal government; who has never been touched by the slightest taint of scandal; whose success in the private sector makes him the outsider that Republicans say they are looking for; and who has by far the best chance of beating President Obama: Mitt Romney.

I'm holding out for Perry. If Willard gets the nomination, then yes, I will vote for him to prevent 3 more Sotomoayors and the utter destruction of America. (I'd prefer not to retire in Costa Rica.) But please, why is ANY conservative kneeling to Mitt at THIS early point??
You could knock me over with a hummingbird feather.
Perry? Damn, why can’t Rubio be in the race? Why the hell shouldn’t we have a dozen conservative Republicans that look, sound, and are great candidates. I know that many people on my block that would be better than this crew. I guess because they’re not scumbags, they’re not politicians...
It’s timed for Iowa. Meaningless endorsment.
It says more about the endorsees than it does about Romney. Do you want to sell yourself out to the Country Club or support the Tea Party movement. The damage he has caused Rove, Kraut, Kristal, Coulter and Ingrahm will never be repaired.
Happy New Year
That's a question each one of these media goof balls should be asking themselves.
Establishment Republicans aren't Conservatives.
It says much about the PowerLine that it doesn’t see even the “slightest taint of scandal” in Mitt’s copious record of liberalism.
The knock on Romney is that he is “not a real conservative.” Well, I am sure he is not as conservative as I am. But he has a solid record of conservative accomplishment as governor of Massachusetts, and if you check out his economic plan, you will find it to be entirely Reaganite, updated for the crisis we face today. The “Romney isn’t conservative” meme is, frankly, a little weird: in December 2007, National Review endorsed him for president. Has he somehow gotten more liberal since then?
A 59 step undecipherable economic plan is "Reaganite"? John Hinderaker is a real dope. Using his logic, we should be backing Bush if it were 1980 because he had more of the proper experience.
Yet another Ivy League grad endorsing Romney. Dartmouth and Harvard Law.
Big surprise there!
People, LOOK at the CV of who is doing this pump-n-fluff for Romney. Read their CV. You WILL see the pattern emerge.
Who are you going to believe? Me or your own eyes?
Pretty weak arguments from the author of this endorsement. Speaks to the type of people who attended Harvard law school.
It is time for Hinderaker to STFU.
Boston Herald too (the more conservative paper in town—its competition is the Globe)
We need him in the Senate. And, besides, there's no reason to believe Rubio wouldn't have been analyzed, scruitinized, and ripped to shreds by now like all the others.
