“Well, I’m goin’ for Romney, just to stop McManiac from getting all (winner-take-all, y’know) the FLA delegates! I wanna see a big-ass fight at the convention. In fact, at BOTH conventions ..” ~ Gonzo
LIZ CHENEY (previously with the Thompson campaign) just said that she is supporting Mitt Romney! The formal announcement is coming soon. This is a HUGE “GET” for Romney! Whoo Hoo! This will totally undermine McCainiac’s claim as the only candidate who can best lead America in the WOT.
And there WILL be “a big-ass fight at the convention” and everywhere in-between if the stupid party thinks they’re going to get away with cramming McCainiac down our throats.

RASMUSSEN FLORIDA POLL: ROMNEY RUNNING AWAY WITH IT!

As an aside people can pass on to others as extra ammo:
Here’s an item that I think gives a pretty good flavor of _HOW_ Romney thinks:

Mitt Romney addresses the Federalist Society
http://www2.nationalreview.com/corner/romneyaddress.pdf
* More below:
Excerpts from “The Swamp” article linked below:
“...the Federalist Society, the expanding network of conservative lawyers who over the past quarter-century have played a leading role in reshaping the nation’s judiciary and setting high-level Republican administration policy. ..
[...]
“..One of the group’s founding fathers was Edwin Meese, who would soon become attorney general under President Ronald Reagan. Olson was part of that Justice Department, and so was Giuliani, who served as its third-highest official. The plan was to sow talented conservatives at every level of the federal judiciary and ultimately gain a foothold at the Supreme Court. “That was very much on our minds,” Olson said.
It appears to be working as planned. When he took office in 2001, Bush leaned heavily on Federalists to create a legal power structure to continue the work of seeding the judiciary. Roberts, along with fellow conservatives Alito, Scalia and Thomas, now form a formidable bloc on the Supreme Court.
[...]
Split among GOP camps
But as the Federalists have grown, they haven’t been immune to internal fissures. Federalists have key figures in both the Romney and Thompson campaigns who believe their candidate is a more worthy vessel for their legal philosophies. And they say they haven’t had to make the sort of compromise that Giuliani’s conservative supporters have.
David McIntosh, a former Indiana GOP congressman and gubernatorial candidate, is vice chairman of the Federalist Society, and he’s a domestic policy adviser to Thompson. Douglas Kmiec, another high-ranking official in the Reagan Justice Department, has gone with Romney, whom he calls “authentic.”

Ya got that right, Gonz!
If yer lookin' for a big-ass fight, turn on that big TV !
Thanks for the post! Read the speech given by Romney and glad I did. Sure makes me feel much better about voting for Romney on Tuesday! Hope all Freepers read it and comment on it. Would love to read the opinions of others, especially about what Romney did concerning the gay marriage issue in his state. Very clever I think. That part is pg 16-27. Comments?
Voted early for Romney—
It infuriates that— the Governor of Florida—Charlie “Krisp”—deems it necessary, to inform us, for whom, he cast his VERY IMPORTANT vote —A real class act!
Romney’s the brainiac. That’s what we need in Washington.
