I’ll vote for Romney in the fall, but I just registered my vote for Newt in the NC primary. Felt good.
BINGO! Lock the thread, we have a winner. Personally I'm planning to ACTUALLY PUT A CLOTHESPIN ON MY NOSE in the voting booth. Yes really.
Great decision.
Lack of support for Romney could blow up at the convention.
If all of our “abo’s” who claim they wouldn’t touch romney with a 10 foot pole would think just a bit, they’d realize not tipping their hand is a good thing.
Since they didn’t like him, there was no point in falling in line til the last second. Then they could have gotten considerable concessions from him.
I’ll never vote for him, but I would vote for a different republican conservative.
Meh, I’m excited about being rid of 0bama and that nest of vipers he surrounds himself with.
The GOP is gonna get an ass-whupin’ in November at the top of the ticket and they have nobody to blame but their own little clique.
I have no sympathy for them.
There is NO guarantee of mitt ousting barry, in fact, what actually what do you think his chances are? Not your wishful thinking but reality?
With Newt there was a 99.9% chance of barry being ousted ALONG with the undoing of obama’s damage from day one and on the Constitution track ALL the way.
This article explained back in December how Romney’s popularity always goes down as people get to know him better. We posted this here and attempted to explain to people how this was likely to happen again. FR seems to be batting 1,000 when it comes to figuring out who and what Romney was and is far in advance of everybody else. We’re not a “fringe” right-wing site, we’re the vastly well-informed canary in the coal mine for the conservative movement.

YOU people are going to cheer yourselves into 8 years of Romney, and then we’ll have to spend 8 years whining, complaining, and stocking up on ammo.
I supported Newt. Unfortunately so far the voters did not agree with my choice..
Last time I looked Newt suspended his campagn and has said he will support Romney ..I will vote for Newt in the primary..and for the last man standing that can possibly oust Zero in November.
I want Obama out and will support the nominee...
I don’t believe anyone has a lock in this Presidential election..no guarantees that I see.
Then he’s a severe CINO...
Nonsense.
Actually he’s a “Democrat In All BUT Name”.
How could anyone be excited about Mittens? I’m excited about removing Obama from the White House, but my enthusiasm ends there.
The VP would only be window-dressing and totally ignored after he or she served the purpose of getting Mitt elected. Mitt wouldn't get my vote if he named me as his VP choice.
Depends how the economy is doing. Romney and the GOP seem to want to redefine the party as the party that “knows how to fix the economy.” So there’s no point in electing the GOP if the economy happens to be doing good under a Democrat. It’s going to be a big waste of money on a campaign since if the economy’s doing bad, voters will switch votes to the other party anyway. Which is why they should be spending the campaign talking about all the actual planks of conservatism, and not this whole “fixing the economy” message which sounds a lot like “our socialism is better than their socialism.” Or do they want a party that can only win when the economy happens to be doing bad and never any other time?
Face it, he’s not an excitiing guy. Even if he was a hard core conservative he wouldn’t be exciting.
Our source of excitement will have to be getting rid of Obama.
I coined a term for them: DIABLO — Democrat In All But Label Only.
When it comes down to it, I will probably hold my nose (and my gag reflex) and vote for Romney over Obama. I can at least hope that Romney isn’t a hard core socialist intent upon the destruction of America. I know that Obama is.
The 2012 election is going to be a repeat of the 1996 election. After Clinton revulsion caused the nationwide Republican landslide in 1994, no one thought that Clinton could get elected dog catcher two years later. Then the Republicans nominated Bob Dole.
Bob Dole was a war hero. I respected Bob Dole and had no problem voting for him over Clinton, but he was a weak presidential candidate that got nominated mostly because it was his turn.
Obama is going to get re-elected. Hopefully the Republicans will take back the Senate. Maybe there will be enough conservative Republicans in the Senate who will man up and filibuster Obama’s far left wing judicial nominees. I’m not holding my breath.
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
