Once upon a time, people who wanted to be president were not expected to admit it in public. This mask of false indifference had to be dropped when the rise of primaries forced candidates to campaign actively for the office.

Quote me.

But then you admit the poll shows he has a big following among liberals AND Conservatives.
Not me. Kennedy and the big government liberals love him. If the Romney poll is to be believed, some self-described conservatives allegedly voted for him rather than other liberals on the ballot.
No, Triple-E. He was not. You're talking about Mr. Socialized Medicine here.
Like I said, outside I will tout the RNC ticket with at least some enthusiasm, enough to make a good appearance.
I wish we could get a “mulligan” on this election and just go straight to Haley in ‘12...
We are going to need him, or someone like him, and for better or worse, the nation will know it by then as well.
C’mon. At least the abortions weren’t free.
By posting anti-Sanford hate from liberal media outlets ? Why do you guys oppose AUTHENTIC Conservative leaders ?
Quite true. They were $50. No wonder the population there ain’t growing.
How do you do against folks who don't hate him, but just think he sucks?
What about folks who don't want to elect a cultist?
Got game for them too?
So you think he’s a good candidate then?
The poll says 55 percent of Very Conservative California voters voted for Mitt.
Never heard of her.
I think he's a loose cannon and is entirely unpredictable.
There are about 400,000 black Mormons in the world today
How many in Utah?
I have some in my congregation, but I won’t ask them. That seems very rude.

Not As rude as telling them they wont be going to heaven just because they are black...
And that if they do happen to squeeze into heaven, they will only be “servant” there...
Actually the answer is...not very many...
LOL!!!!!!
He’s talking about Haley Barbour!
More evidence Romney haters don’t pay attention to the world around them
How is that a non-sequitur? You said Romney doesn't bring in any excitement to the ticket but he does. Top Republicans are all behind Romney for VP. Conservatives are too. He brings an enthusiasm to the campaign in contrast to McCain's dour bloodhound look. That's simply a fact.
Tell you what, if Romney can’t even out-poll a stiff like Mike Huckabee
Huckabee attracted social conservatives. He did not attract the other two legs of the Reagan stool. That's the thing. Huckabee doesn't have broad conservative support. All he had was the religious right. He was a firewall for McCain, which locked Romney out of the primary. I'm sorry if you clearly do not see this.
And then you focus on Jindal’s ‘experience’, without even understanding a far more significant point, which is drawing focus to the immigrant/minority issues.
Since when did conservatives care about affirmative action? Jindal is not qualified to be VP. He is only 36 years old, he only served 3 years in Congress and he was just elected LA Governor.
Jindal personifies how it should be done
Like how he handled the pay raise thingy?
openly appreciates this country, and undermines Obama and his darling wife’s whiny, negative portrayal of America.
That's all fine and heart-string tugging, but he still doesn't have experience to be a heartbeat away from the Presidency.
Ain't life predictable?
They don't much mind cults in California.
So what is your point
meant to ping you.
Ah I’m sure the California Freepers here will love it that you called them idiots.
You mean like Bill Clinton?
Haley Barbour, very conservative Governor of Missisppi, and a hell of a leader...
