“I’m not voting for him, but I liked something Romney said... that we’ve let the Dems frame the debate for education, health care, the environment (for a long time now) - and it’s time to reclaim that. I guess Bush doesn’t agree.”

Honestly, Mitt has a lot of really great conservative ideas. Mitt, like most Republican politicians has been misquoted and misrepresented. I believe its because if Mitt actually gets a chance to stand alone he could very likely win hearts and minds. Much like Mike Pence, the way the media (and Rinos) get rid of a conservatives with sound ideas as well as potential for public acceptance is to either black ball them (ignore) or misrepresent them. In Mitts case they have done both. It is my opinion that the press is trying to choose the GOP candidate. (note the comeback of McCain)
Out of curiosity, who do you lean towards for the GOP nomination?

I agree that Mitt, currently, sounds good. The question always is with such a flipper, who is the real Romney? The guy who echoes the staunchest of conservatives (Duncan Hunter) ...or the guy who could be a clone of Rudy Giuliani before the Road to Des Moines?

I tend to look more to actual track record than sudden assertions of position. I also look at who was willing to walk the walk despite it being nominally adverse to their political health. Hunter again keeps firing on all conservative cylinders despite having been a Congressman in a heavily democrat district (70% last I heard).

I give Romney credit for faithfully suddenly having the "talk" down. And he is a potentially capable speaker. He should also weigh in on the DREAM [NIGHTMARE] Act. And the Law of the Sea Treaty also while he is at it.

But I am backing Hunter for the duration.
