The difference being is that it is expected of all and by all that the candidates will support the party and the nominee. We as prospective voters aren’t expected by all or obligated or bound to support the nominee or the party. There has been a lot of pressure on some to support Romney because he is inevitable or to at least declare that we will support him if he gets the nomination. If we make such a declaration we are counted as supporting Romney and that only makes him more inevitable and assures Romney he can expect Conservatives to fall in line without him even having to make any concessions or even promises to Conservtives other thant to proclaim himself to be severly conservative and not obama. I have two alternatives to Romney, Newt Gingrich and a brokered convention that could produce another candidate. I’ll not help Romney, let’s see who the nominee is and what our choices are. I would expect loyalty from Newt and for him to take any other path at this time except to pledge support for the party nominee would be wrong, I’m not held to the same expectation or standard.
Really? People are talking about the end of the country and CWII, and we are all supposed to be okay with Newt saying he’ll back Romney, who we’ve been screamed at on this site he’ll get us over the cliff at 85 MPH as opposed to Obama’s 100 MPH?!?! Do we really want the same ol’ same ol’ response from candidates if this election is as important as we supposedly say it is? Cripes.
