I agree with caisson71 (post 19) that “all the Republican candidates, in spite of their shortcomings, are far better than anything the Dims have to offer.” And I have the same ranking of candidates as esarlls3 (post 41). After that it tails off so fast that I don’t really have a “fav five.” I suppose we could have fun with the Dems and draft Cheney. And John Ashcroft certainly has the credentials :)

I think Mitt gave a phenomenal speech. I think it is a real mistake to hold his religion against him. I understand why some people sometimes ask if this is the real Mitt Romney. But let’s give him his proper due. In this campaign he has often said the right things and said them well. I hope this speech will be remembered for a long time, regardless of whatever else happens.

I was a John Ashcroft fan when he was running for President.

I think Romney's speech will be remembered for a long time. I don't think there is another candidate of any party who could give a speech like that today. A bonus is that he wrote it himself. Perhaps that's why he could deliver it with passion and conviction.

Perhaps it's time to hope for Romney/Hunter? I like the idea of Duncan as President of the Senate.

Romney speech was great.

He has been horrible in the debates (Hillary will abuse him)

Even worse, he talks like a conservative but past history shows he governs like a liberal (Romney care, etc.)
