Let’s not all be so pessimistic. While I’m still devastated with Duncan Hunter dropping out yesterday, there are still other candidates (other than McCain) that may have a chance.

While I know there are TONS of Romney haters here on FR, he seems to have a decent platform, from what I’ve seen. Or even the Huckster may be OK.

Whoever we get, we will be settling, that’s for sure. But the McCain nomination is not a foregone conclusion as of yet!

We Romney supporters would welcome any and all who come to the party. It's not easy selling Mitt as a Conservative for the simple fact that he hails from the most liberal State in the union, and this is where most of his detractors find ammunition against him, largely provided by the most liberal newspaper on the planet called the Boston Globe.

The Globe hates Romney for good reason. he changed the dynamics in Massachusetts to the dismay of the liberal establishment and made them all look silly.

Sure, you can find a few quotes from the campaign against Teddy Kennedy, but it must be understood that the environment in Massachusetts does not make it easy for a conservative to thrive. In fact, just the opposite.

Romney is indeed a traditional conservative. He has proved this time and time again with his actions and most of his rhetoric. He has the energy and drive to be great president, and if you plus that up with his acumen for organization and management, it makes him a very strong candidate.

Social conservatives are not all in opposition to him, and those who are may be doing so for the wrong reasoning, but it is possible to get the majority of them on his side by the time of the general election, so he can unite the party. He can be the nominee.

And he can beat Billary or Obama in a head to head, if he gets that needed support from the rest of the factions. Assuming of course, that Bloomberg and his money stay out of the Independent candidacy. He will stay out if McCain crashes. Those votes will largely go to Mitt.
