I like Fred... but I could live with, and support, Romney.

Evidently a coup for Mitt.
On the other hand, once she chose to work for Romney and climbed on board, what else could she be expected to say?
I don’t think he showed the greatest of leadership abilities in Massachusetts. Romneycare? Gay marriage forced on the clerks and magistrates of the state by executive fiat? Not my idea of competent leadership.

She contends that Romney is "the constitutionalist" in the race,Hardly. Romney's past support of Roe, his support of the assault weapons ban, and his signing of Romneycare shows he is a big-government type who doesn't understand federalism.

Mitt named a leading gay marriage advocate to a judgeship in Massachusetts.
Most of his nominations were liberals. A few were Republicans, which doesn't necessarily mean they weren't liberals too.

Be patient. He knows what he’s doing. September 2007 is the latest conventional wisdom. That’s plenty early enough. The others all believed their own hype and jumped the gun.
To: samtheman
Be patient
I don’t want to! (stamping my feet) I want what I want and I want it right now!
(seriously)
I’ve heard June, then July, now Sept., I’m starting to get a Mario Cuomo feeling.
I really hope I’m wrong, as a Fred candidcy would be a real + to the race, weather or not he wins.

"How does she think Romney would do in appointing conservative justices? Long argues that Romney "is the only one I'm absolutely sure" will give us more nominees like Justices Alito and Roberts" Absolutely agreed. JUDGES ARE THE NUMBER ONE ISSUE!!!!

How does she think Romney would do in appointing conservative justices? Long argues that Romney "is the only one I'm absolutely sure" will give us more nominees like Justices Alito and Roberts. With these types of judges she believes we will continue the "incremental process" to return power to the people and allow policy decisions to be made democratically. With the scare Chief Justice Roberts' seizure gave us today, it is another reminder of how important it is that the right person is choosing our future judges.

Long argues that Romney "is the only one I'm absolutely sure" will give us more nominees like Justices Alito and Roberts. She's right. The only two positive aspects of Bush's legacy have been his Supreme Court picks. Romney would do the same, plus he would be a far better leader in every other area.

I would love to know why the lady said that Romney was a constitutionalist and supported federalism. I haven’t found any information like that about Romney nor evidence of a history of that. In all the interviews I’ve seen him do, and he gives a very good interview, I’ve not heard this concept mentioned.
He’s not my first pick, I could vote for him, but I’m really not sure.

Romney's healthcare plan, while not perfect, is something that conservatives can, and IMHO should support. FYI, the Heritage Foundation endorsed it.
As to gay marriage, you're misinformed. It was the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court that imposed it on the commonwealth, not Governor Romney. You are misinformed if you believe he is responsible for it.
