With all due respect, he’s mopped the floor with all his opponents so far.
Look I dislike Romney. I believe he’s the reason Obama is in office right now.
I think he’s manipulative. I believe he right away in 2008, after ending that campaign, immediately sensed Sarah Palin was an existential threat to his plan to run again this year - and for that reason only - sent his operatives to undermine Palin, and so doing cost the GOP the election.
That in my mind was reprehensible, and it does seem to this poster to have been what happened. Others may disagree.
However there’s not much doubt at this point, Romney’s ruthlessly competitive. Machiavellian. I believe he can indeed beat Obama.
I don’t like him, but I’m starting to respect him just for being so efficiently ruthless.
Frankly, the GOP needs a bit of ruthless for a change.
I will once again say honestly I’m not on this board to praise Romney, except to the extent he opposes Obama.
Which he’s now doing. So I’m stuck with him.
He’s an SOB, but if he’s the GOP’s SOB I really have no other stand to make.
I’m going with Obama’s opponent. That simple.
And yes, he clearly can win.
What opposition to BHO?
Romney destroys conservatives yet says BHO is just a guy in over his head.
Seriously do you really think he will be as ruthless towards BHO as he has been towards conservatives?
Something else seems to have escaped your notice...the egregious bias of the elite RNC, the republican pols that owed Mitt for donations to their campaigns and causes and paid off in endorsements, and not the least the openly pimping of media such as Fox news, Drudge Report, National Review on and on.
In some areas the lock-step mormon vote gained him delegates and mormon money has funded his super PAC. He had a whole lot of help in his "mopping the floor" and his millions and the millions of his mormon allies paid for it.
When you come on FR to defend Romney, it's best that you take off your blinders and really see what has been going on under your nose.

We may be on opposite sides of the conservative debate over Romney, but I really feel for you (and other conservatives who are only supporting Romney as the lesser evil to Obama) on this point. Most of us who refuse to support RINO Romney aren’t any more thrilled about the prospect of Obama’s re-election, which we can only stomach as the lesser evil to the greater and more long-term setback to conservatism under Romney. The problem with having to choose between the lesser of two evils is that one is still stuck with evil.
However, that’s what distinguishes us from liberals. We recognize that evil is very real, and that the only way to resist evil is to stand by our principles. So conservative debate is likely to be more spirited because conservatives are by nature principled people who think in terms of good and evil.
Thus division and strong debate among conservatives over Romney is unavoidable. We as conservatives cannot simply agree to disagree, because our principles don’t allow us to agree with evil. The RINOs and GOPe played divide-and-conquer with conservatives to get Romney the nomination, thinking that we conservatives would simply fall in line once Romney won the nomination. But it ain’t gonna happen. Thus this division foisted upon us by RINO/GOPe continues.
Having said that, while we conservatives find ourselves divided over whether Romney or Obama is the lesser evil, there is still much we can do together to advance the conservative cause in America and mitigate the damage done by the RINO/GOPe in insuring that Romney is the nominee.
First, we can all support conservative candidates down-ticket.
Second, we can begin looking for good conservative candidate for 1016.
Third, we can work together to take by the GOP.
Happy Easter to all..
