Romney would be Obama light with the benefit (to the Dems) that his failure will allow the Dems to blame Romney/GOP for the continuing disaster.

A Romney nomination would be disastrous. It is clear, from his number of flip-flops and his policies in running Massachusetts, that he is just another establishment politician.

There is a significant mass of voters who would choose a nominated Romney in the General Election as the lesser of two evils. Voting for a third party or write-in candidate could result in a Ross Perot-style mass divergence that would result in four more years of Obama (which would be far more disastrous than four years of Romney). The best way to avert this disaster would to be to show the truth about Romney to those likely to vote for him. Another candidate (Cain seems likely right now) should be propped up in opposition to him.

Unfortunately, groups such as the Tea Party have not completely gotten rid of the RINO elite. As long as the RINO’s remain in control of the Republican Party, and put forward candidates like Romney, we are fighting with our hands tied behind our backs. The nation is spiraling into an abyss, and continuing to allow the left-wing elite to influence the decisions of genuine conservatives will only result in more big government policies being passed. A simple glance at the actions of the Federal government over the last two years should reveal that is too late for Republicans to compromise any more. If we are to reverse the impending collapse, we must drive the RINO’s out of the party.

get a verizon pre-pay cell phone at Walmart with an Iowa phone number and make calls to Iowa for herman cain. $2/day.

Romney must be stopped in the early states. IA and SC are crucial.

If Romney is the GOP candidate, we will work against
the GOP.

We will write in a conservative’s name.

I’ve voted exclusively GOP my whole voting life, never wavering a single time. But if Romney is the nominee, I’m not giving him my vote. Doesn’t matter who he picks as veep. What will I do? Too early to say entirely. Leave the prez ballot empty... vote for a third-party option... or maybe just ‘write in’ Sarah Palin, for the heck of it. I’ll just have to wait to see how things shake out.

Nothing, because it's pretty clear he is going to win at this point and he is the best chance to beat Obama. I don't believe he's as bad as Obama, that's complete nonsense. He's not the most conservative candidate on the planet, but there is no doubt in my mind he will be a big improvement over Obama, and there will be more political pressure on him to make more center-right decisions than with Obama, obviously.

Is it just me, or is now a good time to be wary?

I mean, why support a third party candidate, if it serves mainly to carve off part of the Republican vote?

Even George Will Gets It: "Romney, supposedly the Republican most electable next November, is a recidivist reviser of his principles who is not only becoming less electable, he might damage GOP chances of capturing the Senate" ...

Get lost Mitt!

I still haven’t decided on a primary candidate. But come the general, I’m voting GOP, Romney or not. That’s a no-brainer.

Seems quite obvious to me you’re just trolling.
