If you aren't familiar with the Guardian it's basically the semi-official paper of the Fabian Socialists, Maoists, Trotsky-ites, union thugs and other faaaaaar left types in the UK, as I understand it. If they think Mitt Romney is the man, what does that tell you?

‘None of the above’ gets my vote between the two of them.

People’s enemies say a lot about them. RINOs hate her. Establishment types hate her. The MSM hates her. Statists hate her. Not only do they hate her, they are petrified of her.

I will NOT vote for Romney.
I will vote for a third party if the RINOS push Romney on us, by allowing non Republicans to vote in the primaries. The ONLY reason, I voted for McCain was Palin on the ticket.
I compromised with Bush1, Dole, Bush2, and then McCain - NO MORE COMPROMISE with my vote.

The paper didn't endorse anyone, they are just reporting on a survey, so their point of view is irrelevant. Reading the actual article reveals the paper did not endorse Romney.

The survey itself can be found here and is of voting conservatives. You can participate if you want and vote for as exciting and dynamic a candidate as you did last time - you know, Fred Thompson.

Romney cannot get the nomination during the primaries. That's just a mathematical reality. Two years out, I'm not sure if anyone can secure the nomination before the convention (absent of course some monumental individual screw-ups where people just shoot themselves in the foot). Because there's a reasonable chance no one can mathematically secure the nomination before the convention, leaves some troubling possibilities. Two words - brokered, convention.

Who becomes more viable on a second, third or even fourth convention ballot. I don't know. Romney and his money can buy a LOT of arm twisting. OTOH, someone like Barbour (who knows where the bodies are buried, mostly because he buried them), will be owed A LOT of favors. Then there's the "vanilla" candidates like Thune and Pawlenty. No one loves them, but no one hates them and they don't make many enemies. That would help. Ask Warren Harding and Abe Lincoln. For these reasons, I think it's virtually impossible to predict who will actually secure the nomination. There are just too many variables.

Having said all that, I think Jindal as VP is more than even money - 1-3, perhaps. For the first time in a long time, the convention might actually be interesting to watch.

As a republican who talks with many other republicans, I have yet to find one who enthusiastically supports Mitt Romney. This mirrors the national outcome of the 2008 campaign, in which Romney won nothing for his 60 million dollars or so.

If there is one enthusiastic Romney supporter here, I would truly appreciate hearing from you. Any time now. Thanks.

I really appreciate it when lefty newspapers — particularly lefty newspapers from other countries that are going down the tube — go out of their way to advise me which of my party’s candidates would make the best president.

It helps me eliminate candidates who are inclined to want to comprise with subversives and narrows the field to those whose values are more likely to be congruent with mine.

Romney is the WORST thing to ever happen to MA. We wanted a Republican governer and he ended up sleeping in bed with Ted Kennedy (probably litterally too). He’s not simply a RINO, he’s an all out Socialist.

I don`t know what they`re saying but I`m saying I`ll vote third party for president or just leave that blank if they run a leftist wanna-be like him.

State-run media is terrified of her.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

We have one professional high school valedictorian for President right now. Romney would just be another one.

What is up with this incessant Romney thing? Nobody is going to nominate him in 2012. He bombed in 2008 and he’s still a no starter. Get past it folks.

From Wikipedia, concerning George Romney, Mitt's pa:

Romney was a candidate for President of the United States in 1968. While initially a front-runner, he proved an ineffective campaigner, and fell behind Richard Nixon in polls. Following a mid-1967 remark that his earlier support for the Vietnam War had been due to a "brainwashing" by U.S. military and diplomatic officials in Vietnam, his campaign faltered even more, and he withdrew from the contest in early 1968.

With all of Mitt's positions on issues, maybe some of that brainwashing was passed down from dear old dad.

It may be difficult for people outside the United States to understand her appeal, but inside the United States...

Of course it's difficult for people outside the United states to understand the appeal since it concerns American Constitutional Principles. Da.....

My gut is telling me it is going to wind up being a Romney/Palin ticket. I just don’t see her winning on her own. Sooooooooo many people hate her for no reason when given the opportunity to answer why.
