Did it take a long time to come up with that tag line?

[BigTom85]

He may be the best choice out of a handfull of Republican candidates. My point was that the conservatives are the so called 'base' of the party. Lots of people in the south ad midwest may be a little weary about voting for a guy from a state that allows gay marriage (thanks to the courts of course) and has very strict gun laws.. just my thoughts... we just have to stay tooned and see how the cookie crumbles, so to speak.

Why call Mr. Hewitt a whore? What did he do to earn that ?

[neverhillorat]

Don`t vote for Romney or Rudy. America needs eight years of Hillorat as president. That way the gun issue will finally be solved.

I am having a hard time understanding why you seem so angry at me. I am not denigrating you or your choice, nor even your opinion even if I do think that the way it presents you is not that complimentary to you.

And not all Americans are Protestants.

His position on RKBA would knock him out of my consideration.

[darkangel82]

We will not surivive that.

Romney really is a good guy, but there is a lot of BS in that article.

This writer is not going to help Romney by making stuff up, and distorting facts.

[EveningStar]

What is Hugh making up?

[VillageDamien]

Sure. But what's the point? The bigots only know what was taught to them in their Church classes, which is hardly a neutral source.

[EveningStar]

Hugh has spoken highly of FR in the past.

[dmw]

Slick Mitt? Nope, not for me!

[EveningStar]

I was never taught that. And one of the most honored writers here is Orson Scott Card - a practicing Mormon.

[neverhillorat]

Mr Hewitt is one smart cookie, even if he likes the Cleveland Browns. He knows that when you lose an election, you are basically powerless,

[EveningStar]

He's brilliant. I hate the fact that he and the equally brilliant Larry Elder are on at the same time.

[Dead Corpse]

Same here... No thanks.

[Radix]

As soon as he mentioned the Mass Ave exit traffic light I knew that he was making stuff up. I'm a local, and he must have meant the Chinatown Kneeland street exit.

Do you really believe the bit about changing lanes in order to give $$$ to panhandlers?

Kennedy was never in real trouble in 1994, and Romney's campaign never really had a chance. This state is not going to vote fat teddy out of office, not ever.

The bit about Pyrrhic victories is absolutely BS. Romey's run was a great experience and I supported him all the way. Still, it was a nothing less than an exercise in getting himself on the political map.

Believe it or not, anyone can run as a republican against Kennedy and get 40% of the vote in Massachusetts if they are at all serious. They can't win though.

[KevinDavis]

That was sarcasm....

[Torie]

Romney is super smart, and has a good temperament and judgment. However, his core value, is his own success, and he will trim and spin when necessary to facilitate that. The attempt to square the theory as something else, lacks credibility and verisimilitude. JMO, the opinion of one who is not overall a "social conservative."

we just have to stay tooned and see how the cookie crumbles, so to speak.

I agree. 2008 is light years away in political time :-)

A lot will happen and I'm just going to keep my mind open and listen and watch. I'd like to see more people come in actually.
