At this point I am undecided between Romney and Gingrich. There's lots that I like about Romney, and there's lots that I like about Gingrich. I cheer for both men when they say something good at a debate. I also recognize flaws in each man, I have reservations about each. I think they're pretty much on the same page on the issues. Either one would be much, much better than Obama. I'm ABO. The main question for me is which one has the better chance of defeating Obama. May the best man win.
Tell me - I'm waiting to hear. Thanks.
I'm painfully aware of the flaws of all the candidates this primary season, but I can't give Romney any serious consideration based on his history of flip-flopping on abortion. That's a deal-breaker for me.
At this point, Gingrich looks like our best chance of defeating Romney. I wish we had better alternatives, but the choice is between Santorum and Gingrich, and unless something happens quickly for Santorum, Gingrich will be the last alternative left to Romney.
The question for me is first, who can defeat Obama in the general election, and second, who can defeat Romney in the Republican primaries. I realize since both of us live in Missouri, it's more complicated for us (as it also is for voters in Virginia) because Gingrich didn't get on our state primary ballot — and while the Missouri nonbinding primary is coming soon, by the time the Republican caucuses get held in Missouri, the race will likely be over.
