I guess that’s why Romney got what 2% or so of the total vote?

I know what it’s like to have the guy you not get the nomination. I liked Thompson myself, but he never really got started.

A conservative cannot get elected in the Northeast, only RINOs. Romney did pass mandatory health insurance in Mass. didn’t he? What is conservative about that? Fiscal conservatism is only half the equation, social conservatism is the other half and on social issues Romney is found to be wanting IMHO.

If Romney gets the nomination in ‘12, the GOP is defunct, hate to break to you but that is the reality.

Couple of things... IMHO... If you or anyone cares...

1. Romney was NOT my candidate initially... I also wanted Thompson... When he got no traction, and it was McCain, Huck, or Romney, Romney was my choice.

2. Romney will not win the primary, nor is he a shoo-in to run... If he does run, the ONLY way I'd support him is if he was the most conservative candidate running... If Barbour ran, Barbour has my support... Pence, same thing... DeMint, absoluteley... Sanford, of coursre... So would dozens of other candidates... So far, it doesn't look pretty...

3. My beef is with folks that twist every possible thing about him... We all know how the MSM destroys the GOP and conservatives... Usually, the good folks here will tear apart these lies... When it comes to Mitt, they'll jump on the bandwagon... Here's a case where Mitt uses self-deprecating humor--- anyone seeing it as a shot at Palin is an absolute DOLT--- and folks here blast him... Read the comment again...
