Conservatives have to get much more realistic and much wiser about the way they choose candidates. It has been years since we've had such a smart, talented, articulate, capable candidate, as the one we saw in Mitt Romney. When we realized Thompson's campaign was going nowhere, Conservatives should have rallied behind Romney. But too many were too egotistical and stubborn to see it. Indeed, some conservatives get what they deserve.
It will be very difficult to vote for McCain. I will not be working for him as I do not believe he can defeat either Hillary or Obama, but particularly Obama.
Mitt’s history, as opposed to his platform, was what kept me from supporting him. Is he more capable and dynamic and smarter than McCain? Sure. But I learned my lesson the hard way many times over that a man’s history (at least in a 10 year window) is a far better barometer than campaign promises.
