“Mitt was turning to the right more and more, in spite of the bilious and vitriolic opposition he faced.”
If Gov Romney was that concerned about the citizens of his own state, why did choose to opt out only after one term?
Why did you post this? I just finished my dinner.
Did you say Mike Upchuckabee?
Unfortunately, being Godly isn't enough for the anti-Mormon bigots here now. They would rather destroy our chances behind an honorable man, Mitt Romney, who can win in November, than support him. They know McCain is dead in November; they just don't care...
Mike
How do you know that?
Many didn’t think that Obama could beat Hillary. And he just might.
The base will not vote. Look around and read the tea leaves. I will do my duty and vote for the ass, but too many won't. On the other side you will have record turnout... Do you doubt that?
Mike
It wouldn’t be so bad but he wears his Christianity on his sleeve while making juvenile and sophomoric statements about others whilst pretending to be innocent. He is slime.
“The base will not vote.”
How do you know? Isn’t it being reported that there are record turnouts on both sides in a presidential primary than ever before? How do you know that that trend won’t continue?
In my opinion and from talking with liberals, Obama seems like the one with the most charisma and popularity. Hillary would never win in the general VS a halfway sane candidate. Obama on the other hand is more articulate although granted he has nothing to articulate, he can however, put up a fairly deceptive smoke screen capable of deceiving the general public.
It’s easy to tell from your posts that you have not lurked here at all.
You assert things totally in opposition to the reality of the site. All you would have to do is read some of the linked stuff in the archives to see that your read is wrong.
As for “other more conservative forums,” whatever thay might have been, they sure didn’t educate you very well; your posted views are what the Media call “moderate,” and we here call liberal.
Stick around and learn.
If I could :o)
Mike
The Dems win the WH then that’s on the base who chooses to sit it out.
I'm afraid that is how it will play out. I've never seen our side so fractured. After 2006 it was a relentless attack on republicans by soros and moveon, also the clinton machine and the willing mainstream media. It has been a withering, nonstop assault aimed at splitting the party and disheartening it. It worked! The GOP doesn't know how to play that kind of game. It had better learn....

Because a conservative governor in the communist gulag of Massachusetts is a Lame Duck from day one.
What an idiot feminazi McCaniac Zito.

If Romney can’t get enough votes to beat the two of them between now and the convention, it’s a sign he’d have trouble getting votes in the general election. That’s why we have primaries.
If McCain can win the nomination, he’ll have shown he can get votes.
No matter what candidate we pick, we’ve got significant numbers of people saying they won’t vote in the general election. There’s a lot of “I won’t vote for Romney” voters out there. There’s also a LOT of “I’ll never vote for Huckabee” voters out there. And we all know there are a lot of “I won’t vote for McCain” votes.
My hope is that Romney will pull this out. If not, I hope he has so many votes (actual votes, not delegates) that it will be clear to McCain that Romney represents an insurmountable part of the republican electorate — and puts him in as VP for that reason.
I don’t think it would happen, but practically speaking, the candidate who pulled 30% of the republican vote makes a pretty good VP selection.
If not, at least I hope McCain will realise that those votes represent conservatives who McCain needs, so he picks a real conservative VP, and not Huckabee.
Because I think in the end a lot of non-McCain conservatives will be like Mark Levin, who said tonight he would consider voting for McCain if he had a strong conservative VP, but not if he picked Huckabee.
I’d have a hard time voting for a McCain/Huckabee ticket, but I’d have a pretty hard time NOT casting a vote and having to put up with my state voting for a democrat.
Didn't say they were. But since they're all supposed to be staunch "constitutionalists", the core issue of Ron Paulistas, I thought I'd ask.
Unless, of course, Huck secretly believes that 9/11 was an inside job, too, and thats why they voted for him.
