The country is not ready to elect a Mormon, however great he may be.

I think even Republicans would be reluctant to nominate him, and there is no way he could get enough support from the general electorate to beat the Dem nominee.

Vote for Romney, if you want a Dem president.

Republicans should have their criteria prioritized, it's not whom YOU like, it's:

1. WHO has the best chance to beat the Dem nominees, most likely Hillary.

2. Who is the toughest on the terrorists.


If this criteria aren't satisfied, none of the other things matter.

Many said the country was not ready to elect a Catholic, when JFK ran.

Do you really think people still think like that?

Nobody I know does. Who cares if he's a Mormon.

Gimme a break.

You are absolutely wrong.

Dems nominated Kerry cuz 'he could beat Bush'

We'll get an equally horrid candidate if we run an 'Anyone But Hillary' ticket.

We do need to establish priorities. I do believe that the muzzie terrorists are less a threat than the domestic Libs. It wasn't the terrorists that defeated us in Iraq.

It is not about what I want.

I just think ROmeny will prove to be easily the most electable candidate, once Republicans realize that their choices in the primaries come down to McCain, Giuliani and Romney.

Amen! Your points are right-on!

Being from Massholechusetts, let me say this about Mitt Romney: he could have signed an Executive Order outlawing ALL marriage until the legislature allowed the people to vote on gay "marriage".

Second, I think Romney screwed up by not running for governor of Michigan, where be most likely should have beaten Granholm. If he was running as a governor from a Midwest state he would have a much much better chance at doing something versus being the governor from Massachusetts with a very thin record of accomplishment (granted having an 87% Democratic legislature is not his fault per se, but what can he run on?)

Just my $0.02...
