That’s a record the Republican primary voters care about. If he’s the nominee, he’s overcome that record. It won’t be a problem with independents in the general and Republicans will have to decide whether 4 more of Obama is worse than Romney.

There are enough of us conservatives who are not "Party over principle" types who cannot vote for such an awful candidate like Mitt Romney that he cannot win.

Couple that with the possible millions who will learn of Romney's real record that will feel they have been lied to by Romney and you have the beginnings of a real rout.

Once Obama and friends in the media start pounding on the hypocrasy and the fact that Romney is the "Father of Gay Marriage in America" and the rest of Romney's left-wing, Progressive Liberal record, it's over.

Romney loses in a landslide.

Furthermore, since Romney and Obama are essentially tied right now in the polls, what do you is going to happen once all hell is loosed against him using his own record?

Lastly, you really don't know the American electorate, do you?!

Those independents that you think won't care about these issues, well, a large minority of them are dissaffected conservative former republicans who left their party because they felt it was not representing them anymore.

Those issues do matter to them, and Romney ain't getting their votes.

Romney, with his progressive record, will need every vote he can get to win against Obama.

He won't get enough!
