The core conservative base (the people who actually vote in pubby primaries) will never vote for McCain. There is no point in offering the number two spot to because McCain can't deliver any specific demographic in any appreciable numbers to bother with.
Romney's spineless and will be a "lousy push-over, give the dems what they want and let's make nice" president. The dems will ride him hard and put him away wet. Not what I want in a president. No Thank You.
Well I was trying to play nice with redgirlinabluestate but if that's the way you feel about Romney how about...
Sanford/Santorum '08
And on what basis do you make this wild assumption? Do you live in Massachusetts? Have you been to any of his speeches? How much do you really know about him?
He makes quite an impression in person. I wouldn't count him out just yet. I don't see anyone else with much more testicular fortitude around that is electable.
I wholeheartedly agree, we don't need any wimps for president.
Romney's spineless ?
In what way?
If he can get elected in Massachusetts he can win anywhere.
