It should be clear to all here that we are just a small minority within the Republican party. You have a so called conservative state of South Carolina where two thirds of the primary vote went to McCain or the Huckster. The bottom line is that we could not elect a dog catcher with just our votes.
So the choice for us boils down to Rudy or Romney. Romney’s current views are closer to ours, but Rudy is arguably more electable. Who knows? It’s all very depressing.

Political junkies, aka Freepers, are a definite minority, sad to say. People are drawn to McCain, because he’s pushing the right buttons as far as the war on terrorism is concerned. The republican majority, those who lean conservative, but who don’t live and breathe politics is unaware of his liberal underbelly. They do not do research, and so are unaware of the danger of electing him. They listen to the mainstream media, and to soundbites.
I don’t know that much about Romney, but if Fred or Hunter are not viable alternatives, I am going to look long and hard at Mitt.
God help us all if we elect a man who was raised by radical muslims.
