The writers make sure to get in a few digs at Sarah, too.

Funny that a hockey mom has put so much fear into the hearts of RINOs and liberals.

We should not let the MSM nor a few states that have open primaries decide the next Repub presidential candidate!

The main problem with Romney is that he is slick. I doubt he would ever be able to rile the social conservative footsoldiers we need for a repeat of the 2004 Bush ground game. Which is ashame because on economic issues, he clearly is one of the few Republicans that knows what he is doing and can talk with fluidity on the issues.

Romney can take the same long walk off a short pier that Huckabee needs to take.

Romney is a ruthless backstabbing big-government socialist, a faux-conservative, and a lying flip-flopper who’ll say anything for a vote.

The Kool-Aid drinking Romneyboys here can have at me for dissing your worthless Planet Kolob and cork submarine-believing charlatan.

CNN found a republican that they like.

“Romney also may be positioned to attract a wider base of support than some of the other figures on the Republican bench, including the now-GOP rock star Palin and Huckabee, whose 2008 campaign outlasted Romney’s. Both have shown the ability to generate excitement among base voters but appear to remain fairly unappealing to the more moderate faction of the party — not to mention independent voters who are permitted to vote in some Republican primaries.

Al Regnery, publisher of The American Spectator who attended a summit of prominent conservatives in Virginia last week, said movement leaders continue to toss around Romney’s name as they look to the future.

“People are going to have to compete for what will be the equivalent of several interviews with conservatives as to whether they fit the job description, and Romney would certainly be one of these contenders,” Regnery said.

But even as the Romney drumbeat already can be heard in some corners of the party, it remains possible the former governor will face the same problems that hindered his 2008 campaign — namely the perception he is overambitious and given to flip-flopping on issues for political expediency.

“Many conservatives never really trusted him,” Regnery said. “A lot of people think he pretty much adjusted his message to meet the needs [of the base]. He’s going to have to go back around and talk to the dinners and talk to the small groups and large groups and write op-eds with a fairly consistent message.”

Stephen Wayne, a professor of American government at Georgetown University, also noted that not holding elected office now makes it more difficult for Romney to stay relevant on the political scene.”

Okay, that’s it. I’ve had it. Enough with the 2012 garbage. Not only can we not allow a few open primary states to decide things, but we cannot allow the MSM to impose another extended presidential campaign on us because they’re bored with their jobs and want to handicap a horserace everyday.

Romney would have boosted the GOP ticket considerably more than Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin did.

Either one would have gotten my vote. After all, I didnt vote for McCain. I voted for Palin.

I don't think Romney can carry the south, especially with the Huckster working Baptist pulpits, like he did last primary season.

But it might be different after four years of dark rule of Brother Hussein....

Businessman Romney would have gotten my vote. Unfortunately that is also a vote for Massachusetts governor Romney and I'm not sure which one would have gotten to sit at the big desk in the Oval Office.

Romney will never win the presidency. Give it up!

Rudolph William Louis Giuliani
Michael Dale Huckabee
Ronald Ernest Paul
Willard Mitt Romney

These are the four, I will try to keep off the ticket.
None of these phonies will even use their first name.

Yes if anyone can Mitt can.

Have Mitt run as President and to please the Sarah fans make her VP. Sarah served her purpose. Mitt has the knowledge - he KNOWS CAPITALISM. His wealth attests to that. I am in agreement with Mitt that there should be NO bailouts. Like any other company let them file for bankruptcy and reorganize. This bailout is only payback to the unions and more will be needed down the road since the ROOT problem is not being addressed.

As for Sarah, let her bone up. Her initial interviews and debate were not impressive. Her accepting the nomination speech was good. She has potential. She has the right ideas - let her grow but certainly we need a seasoned person to do the leading.

The only strategy that FLIP Romney represents as the nominee, like McLame, is a path to CONCESSION SPEECHES.
