“Do you think Romney would have won a straw poll of conservatives say in 1977?”
A hypothetical not worth answering. We are in the here in now.
Hypothetical, okay, but also highly relevant.
CPAC wouldn't have chosen Romney in 1977, 1987 or 1997 and you know it. As I already posted, Romney got 5% of the straw poll vote in 2006. A time when most conservatives still recognized Romney, as a pro-choice liberal.
Some of us conservatives see Romney as two-faced politico, who would do or say anything to get elected.
