Here in Illinois, we ran a popular Mormon candidate who won his district - Peter Roskam.

I have worked with LDS volunteers for years. Many of them would not vote the McCain ticket here because they were very much in it for Romney from day one. I have heard much evidence of this not being an isolated case.

I would agree with you - I think that Team Romney (which I once fought for in the primaries) has been in this all along for Romney and only Romney. You can see what his adorers did in the Conservative press.

Perhaps I am angered by anecdotal evidence, both mine and other Freepers, but I am really thinking it would be impossible for me to take Romney seriously as a Presidential candidate any more.

I am with you 100%! I have had first hand experience with his consultants that did a dry run for Istook here. That soured me on Romney and the person he picked for his campaign soured me even more. Anyone who equates their sons working in their campaign with serving in the military is not someone I would support.

Romney was supposed to speak at our OK GOP Convention and backed out at the last minute to go to Iowa so no one could replace him.

Wouldn’t give you two cents for the people that surround him — would never support him after his people undermined McCain, Rudy, Thompson, and Huckabee. In talking with people from the other campaigns, we all had problems with Jeb and GW’s people that went to Romney with negative leaks about the other candidates.

Romney’s convention speech was all about me, me, me! He promised to campaign in MI for McCain and other locations. He would occastionally do something and in his speech would backstab McCain.

Not impressed at all and would sit out any campaign of Romney/Bush. Bush/Cheney tried to get McCain to take Romney as VP and when that didn’t happen and his people took on Palin and she has had trouble ever since.
