ANYBODY HAVE ANY IDEAS ABOUT ROMNEY RUNNING AS AN INDEPENDENT (if he doesn’t get the nomination)?

Would he stand a chance?

After all, there are NINE MONTHS between February 5th until November 4th... In politics, a lot can happen between now and then.

A key McCain meltdown would do the trick. McSnake will also be 9 months older by then and will be showing his age.

Furthermore, the Evil Huckabee will NO DOUBT have withdrawn by then and given his delegates to McSlime. So in a general election, some of his conservative base would shift to Romney once they gain more understanding of McSlime.

Comments?

I like the idea.

Anything to not get McAmnesty or the other Democrats.

I brought it up on another thread, too. It's pretty clear he can't take the south, but he could siphon votes off from McCain. But it would likely throw the election to Hillary (not sure who won the Dem yet).

There are some Democrat males that do not like Hillary that might vote for either McCain or Romney but doubt Huckabee.

It depends on him, of course, but I would go that route unless Huckabee wins and picks somebody other than McCain.

I like and support Romney and voted for him today. But if he went Independent I would oppose him. It would look too much like sour grapes, and a betrayal of the Republican party (which he hasn’t been very faithful too in the first place).

When you loose the game, you need to exit the stage and fall in behind the party nominee. Not form a new team.

Romney will not run as an Independent, and would insure a Democrat victory if he did. He would deserve all the condemnation heaped upon him that so far he has not deserved.
