I live in Florida and I have talked to a number of those conservative votes pulled away by Huckabee. (I tried to convince them to vote for Hunter.) Most of them would never vote for Romney. Something about being pro homosexual agenda, bringing about gay marriage, and saying he was pro choice before he was against it. They also did not care for his second amendment stand. They would not vote for Mitt if he was the only person running.
I have not talked to all of them, but I do not doubt most of them would vote for McCain over a Massachusetts liberal. Even though they know how McCain bad mouthed Christians, they just cannot overcome Romney’s anti family positions.
I don’t know that all the states are like that, but I’m sure there are more than a few people down here who feel that way.
They were deceived.
Your FL “conservatives” are obviously misinformed...Romney, unlike McNasty, has been faithful to his wife of many years. He IS a “family man” and is AGAINST gay marriage. I don’t know what his views are on homosexuality in general. Perhaps a fellow Freeper knows...Reagan was a Democrat, for gosh sakes long before he became a Repub—so was Charlton Heston, another conservative icon. Why is Romney any different? Because his changes were quicker?
Have you mentioned that McCain is for tax -funded embryonic cell research? And that he doesn’t think homosexual behavior is a sin?
