I simply don’t believe the poll numbers on Romney....

It has nothing to do with him being a Mormon. It has everything with him being a “phoney” Blue Blood RINO to his very core. He is a Dem masquerading as a Pubbie.

There is NO WAY I will vote for NittWitt Mitt, EVER.....

NO WAY.

The Dems know there are a lot of others like me and drool over the prospect of a 3rd party to toss them the election if Mitt gets the nomination. This would be the death knell for the Republican Party.

Surely the National Republican officials understand this. If they don’t they are really stupid.

ONLY THE DEMS AND RINOS WANT ROMNEY TO GET THE NOMINATION.

Yeah Obamneycare isn’t good, state or Federal level...

But nominating Sarah doesn't solve the problem, because the Romney-Rove-Will wing, including a lot of elected GOPers, will support Obama. Sarah running as an independent won't cause a GOP split - the split has already happened.

I believe it is about Mormonism, but not in the way most people seems to think.

The reason that the MSM is salivating over a Romney nomination is because they have every intention of using his Mormonism against him in the run up to the general election.

Look, I like Mormons. They are, for the most part, hard working honest, patriotic, Conservative folk who are generous to a fault to those truly in need.

Having said that, there is aspects of Church’s early history, doctrine and belief system that will not go over well with large sections of the population — and you can bet every last centavo in your IRA that the MSM is going to splash it all over every available media, as provocatively as possible, in the months following the nomination (if he gets it).

So what if it’s sticking a knife into every Mormon on the face of the planet? The MSM does not like ANY religion, including Islam. They just keep their mouths shut about the Jihadis because they don’t want to be blown to flinders.

Now, when you add that to his already bad reviews among Conservatives, his two-faced weasel words on so many issues — and the anchor chain of Romneycare — it’s obvious that he has absolutely no chance of winning over the Independents and is thus utterly unelectable.

It would be McCain and Dole all over again. The man has absolutely no chance at ALL of winning the 2012 election.
