He’s not the anti-conservative John McCain. That’s why will vote Romney.

Mr. Romney was my first choice and my husband’s first choice since last spring.

Romney can’t be trusted on anything. He is putting out ads now attacking McCain for voting against the prescription drug benefit (huge giveaway) . . . which is not fiscally conservative at all. Romney will go big government if he thinks it helps his reelection.

I think it's telling of the state of Republican candidates that an article is titled "Why Not Romney?"

That certainly doesn't exude confidence and excitement for a candidate, IMHO.

This will be the election that many of us will vote with one hand holding our nose, I think--whoever "our" candidate is.

There's just not much excitement out there--LOL!

Bruce Walker is wrong! He left out a big broo ha ha regarding Romney, brought up strategically by Julieannie in one of those many, boring debates. That, Mr. Walker, was the personally embarrassing fact that he kept a subcontractor and that subcontractor’s illegal alien workers on his mansion property, instead of firing the subcontractor the moment he found out he was hiring illegals. Julieannie called it “Sanctuary Mansion”, but too bad for Julieannie, it didn’t translate into votes for him! How Mr. Walker could not mention this as a “supreme embarrassment” for Romney, and one that definitely cost him conservative votes is beyond me.

I do not see any of the following words in this fluff piece

Gun Control
Amnesty
Immigration

Looks like three strikes to me.

Mitt Romney is not a conservative.

Yes, he’s better than McCain... but so what? That does not make him a good candidate.

A principled conservative has no candidate in this fight. Many conservatives will not vote for president in 2008, mark my words.

I’ll be voting Romney as well.

It seems most of Thompsons support is going to McCain.

IMO, we are faced with the prospect of nominating the “default” candidate. I’d suggest that not only is Mitt the ‘best’ of the remaining choices, but that he has governed on policy in the past exactly as he campaigned at the time. If he does that again, we would be mostly (very?) happy with the result.

If McCain wins what? Florida? Romney will continue to fight and has the money to do it, and Huckabee is already campaigning in Southern super-Tuesday states.

Agreed. There is no horse to bet on in this race, if you are a conservative. Any of the four RINOs in the race will probably be more liberal than the incumbent President, who is certainly no conservative. If Romney wins Florida, he will be the front runner. Giuliani and Huckabee will drop out for lack of funds. McCain will be the remaining competition. All these people who look at Romney as a conservative will be disappointed after the Minneapolis convention, as he moves toward “centrist” (i.e., liberal lite) positions with jackrabbit speed.

Because he is not a leader, he’s wants to be president for this own ego. But he is a better rino that McCain.

Romney is the master of identity politics. Remember, this is the guy who said he was more pro-gay and pro-abortion than his Democrat opponents, including Ted Kennedy.

Lets not forget the guy is a gun grabber.

Amazing how conservative publications and broadcasters seem to ignore the matter.

It is equally as telling when you have to ask why NOT about one’s candidate.

The guy is a slimey RINO who plays the same game as Huckabee, except he is more refined at it.

Yes, he is – or at least Mitt is as much a fiscal conservative as America will get”

Romney promised Michigan millions to bail them out...

“He believes Roe v. Wade should be overturned”

He declared in 1994 and 2002 that he would not change the abortion laws

“Assuming that all the candidates want to defend America, it seems sensible that the candidate who is the best executive would do the best job.”

If someone is shooting at the troops, an office boy cant help them...

“Mitt Romney is handsome, impeccably dressed”

Yes well this is a presidential election, not a beauty pageant...His looks and the fact that he is a snappy dresser has not bearing on how he will lead govern our country...Narcissism wont impress our enemies...Nobody is wary of a dandy..

“always prepared with a good answer to a question”

Ahhhhhhhhhh Nope he waffles and does not give a straight answer or Yes or No He procedes to give a lecture on anything but the subject asked...

“Romney can plausibly say that he is not part of the “mess in Washington.””

Worse ...Romney is part of the mess in Mass...Universal Health Care...Fines for lack of health insurance, $50 abortions...

Thank me
