...but a compromise candidate ain't gonna be enough against a Democrat the party and the general public is enthused about.
Now that Romney has opposed the amnesty/sellout, I expect that his numbers will soar. McLame is toast.
Presidents Buchanan and McCain will be impressed, I’m sure. ;-)
But, seriously, I’ll no more vote for Mitt Romney than I would vote for Rudy Giuliani.
I think he has flipped, but hasn’t flip flopped....lol. I haven’t seen his views go pro, con, pro, con etc like kerry. I started leaning towards Romney when I saw Rudy on TV last fall bragging about how he helped illegal aliens when he was mayor.
Romney’s a cut above McCain or Guiliani, but I’ll still hold out for Fred or Newt.
I think Mitt’s edge over the others in New Hampshire is, having a home there for some years and the family vacations there.
Jim, I was trying not to like Romney . I don’t trust anyone from Taxechusetts and flippers on killing tthe unborn but dad gum this guy is growing on me. His quote today on the AMNESTY bill was awsome:
“I strongly oppose today’s bill going through the Senate. It is the wrong approach. Any legislation that allows illegal immigrants to stay in the country indefinitely, as the new ‘Z-Visa’ does, is a form of amnesty. That is unfair to the millions of people who have applied to legally immigrate to the U.S.”
I think we may have our man here.
Soon the rest of the U.S. will realize that Romney is the only REAL candidate we have.
Mitt vs Hillary......Mitt wins. Write that down.
Yup.
I’m still loving his best comment so far.
“How bad would it be if Clinton was in office again?”
“Well, I know of something worse - Hillary, Reid and Pelosi running the war on terror!”
BOOOM.
Former Senator Fred D. Thompson... [Rich Lowry]
... today released the following statement regarding the immigration bill currently pending in the United States Senate: “With this bill, the American people are going to think they are being sold the same bill of goods as before on border security. We should scrap this bill and the whole debate until we can convince the American people that we have secured the borders or at least have made great headway.”

I think Mitt has a chance.
Two things going for him:
Mitt is responsive to the base unlike McCain.
Mitt is a hard-working competent manager like Rudy but without the baggage.
But then again, Fred may take it because he is more endeared to the base or Rudy may win it because of his star power, but I think Mitt will give them both a good fight because he has a work ethic that is on steriods.
Bump!
In the Republican debates Mitt has simply stood out as more energetic, better looking, better spoken, and much more exciting than anyone else on stage.
Anyone the Democrats put up one-on-one in a debate with Mitt is going to look pretty lame. I discovered him a couple of months ago and the more you learn about him, the more you like him. His detractors lie and distort his record. He also has the proven ability to pull support from across the aisle.
He has the right stuff!
The question is, who is going to take South Carolina and take the big mo into Super Duper Tuesday?
Am encouraged to see McChurian And RudeGlobalist fall in the polls.
Romney would certainly be better than either of those. But I’m still pryaing etc. for Fred Thompson or Dunken Hunter.
Who are you most for at this point?
It is pretty obvious that as more and more people get to know more about Mitt Romney, they like him.
Compare this to Giuliani which is the opposite.
A majority of American men will vote for Romney because he is positive, business minded and inspiring and one who is a American success story who will bring about change in washington if elected. Lots of women will like him too because of his looks and speaking style.
I am looking for newt to enter the race very soon. He will carry true conservative voters .
I am afraid Romney is ‘Bush lite’
