And the GOP front-runner is ... only two spots on the GOP ballot. One is reserved for Romney..

Blech!

[Emperor Palpatine]

Willard is a fraud.

He doesn’t deserve ANY office.

And his supporters here can all go pound salt.

[La Lydia]

Another attempt to force Romney on us. When does it end? I guess after he gets nominated and defeated.

[TheWriterTX]

Not going to happen....

[darkwing104]

The libs are trying to pick the Republican Candidate again...

[Cicero]

He ran very hard the last time, with a good deal of help from the press, and he was never able to get any higher than 21% in the polls, even while he was leading.

Why would he do any better this time, after losing so dismally last time?

[dalereed]

Why does that pile of crap get one of the spots?

If he won the nomination I wouldn’t vote for him in the general!

[pallis]

Romney is the establishment darling, and we don’t need the establishment or another darling.

I hope Paul Ryan runs for Vice-President, now that would be adding insult to injury! Paul Ryan will give us Wisconsin (aside from Speaker Boehner giving us Ohio) and Paul Ryan is well respected from all Conservatives!

[MacMattico]

It’s great he’s raised all of that money. Now he can use it to support the Republican candidate. Maybe he’s found his true calling — raising money for the Republican party. He can hit up a lot of those wealthy Mormons.

[Free Vulcan]

It’s already starting here. The straw poll is only 6 months away.

[Happy Rain]

Mitt is just another Ford/Dole/McCain only less electable.

Trying to get our state (SC) to close our primary so the Democrats won't vote for him.

[anniegetyourgun]

I wish you could guarantee that. I’m not convinced that we won’t be railroaded....again.

[Mr. K]

How much is Romnet paying people to tell us we want him to run?

Lets all send personal notes and emails telling that loser to give it up

[rawcatslyentist]

Romney, the new McCain.

Eff the nose dive rinos!

Palin or bust!

[RichInOC]

Mitt will make a spiffy-looking Vice President.

[MacMattico]

Pawlenty/Ryan maybe? I'll take Minnesota/Wisconsin.

[ronnie raygun]

This is a scam to get obama reelected?

[Brilliant]

“Here’s the conventional wisdom...”

Yeah, right.

[RobertClark]

Looks like the MSM is attempting to foist another weak, incompetent, RINO upon the Republican ticket for 2012. The title actually made me want to vomit: “one of them is reserved for Romney”?!? Romney will not even be in the running half-way through primary season - we just cannot afford to let it happen.
