About Romney it should be shocking. Of all candidates, Romney SHOULD not go to the middle because he is a supposed "conservative convert" from liberalism. Any move on Romney's part to the left is simply Romney moving back to his familiar soil.
This is exactly, by the way, what Romney did after the 2008 primary. "Convert" Romney was endorsing gay unions within months of McCain losing the election.
The bottom line is that Romney is a liar.
I will not support him for any reason. In fact, I will work to defeat him with a 3rd candidate. My hopes would be twofold: (1) To recreate the Republican party, or (2) to build a real, conservative alternative party.
I’m confused why you posted to me and pinged Jim? Are you actually so politically naive that you believed Romney was going to run in the general as a conservative?
