Mitt is saying the right things. Let it play out. Pick a Democrat to harp on.
I'm not the type of girl who 'settles'.
Thats what the primaries are all about, to hash out who the best choice is for the nomination. If you don't like the debate fine. No on is forced to read this stuff.
Most pols say the "right" things when they want our votes. It's what they will actually do that matters, and Romney hasn't done much of anything as MA guv that makes me want to vote for him.
OTOH JRochelle's favorite Duncan Hunter has done quite a few things that would make me want to vote for him. I just have serious doubts that as a conservative CA Congressman he is well enough known nationally to win the primaries. If he gains enough support to be a viable primary candidate I would vote for him in a heartbeat. Unless that is, his congressional voting record has something in it that I can't stomach, and AFAIK at this point in time it doesn't.
Let it play out.
For my part I'm through letting it play out, all that has given us is tons and tons of RINOs. If the best the GOP can come up with is disastrous pro-abort, pro-homo, anti-gun northeastern liberal RINOS like Rudy, dangerous unbalanced nutjobs like MCain, and opportunistic quick change artists like Romney, I will vote for a 3rd party nominee next time and and change my registration to Independent after the '08 primaries. That would prevent me having a voice in future GOP primaries, but if there are no viable candidates in the primaries who I am willing to vote for what's the big deal about not having a voice? As far as I'm concerned the mainstream of the GOP is rapidly becoming just an unappetizing diet-lite version of the DImoRat party. Sure, the Dim candidates are worse, but if the whole shebang is going headlong into the dumpster what difference does it make who's driving the dump truck?
