Bronkie, take a deep breath and stop typing with your fists. You Slick Willardbots have such anger and hate.
Purge the Romneybots.
From what I have read in the past, that seems to be your specialty.
He outspent everyone 2-1 at least here in the 08 primary. He won, but could not break 50% despite some assistance from McCain's comments on the auto industry which sunk him here.
I was up at the big Republican event back in 07 up on Mackinac Island. Most of the presidential candidates were there, and I got to hear Mitt speak. What did he spend most of his time on? Gay marriage. Why? Because he wanted to say "I'm conservative too." There was not much talk on the economy. I was not convinced on his "conversion" with the abortion issue. He was pandering and untrustworthy on the gun issue. Give me something to work with, Mitt. He lost any chance of my vote at the conference. Too bad Fred Thompson was not a good speaker. He could have been the winner following Romney.
08 was Mitt's time, but he could not win despite the money, the network, and the orginization. People simply did not trust him. He was too slick and changed his mind on too many issues. That does not even go to his health care plan.
We need a fresh face in 2012, preferably not someone who ran in 08.
How many Republican governors are there? Barbour? Daniels? Pawlenty? (not as conservative as I'd like, but he won Minnesota twice). Huntsman (not as conservative as I'd like, but thrown out for argument's sake.)
Romney couldn't even beat McCain.
Oh, Bronkie, projecting again with your blinding liberal hate as usual. You could stay a lot calmer sticking to your Wankers for Willard website instead of coming over to a Conservative website and insulting your betters. :-)
How many stayed home when Bob Dole was the nominee and wasn't even good enough for the NRA endorsement against Clinton of all people?
Don't count on the conservative voting just against someone. We need someone to work with. It's not THAT hard if Bush was able to get the conservative vote in 04.
I gave some thought to Huntsman. He seemed to be like another Romney without past Romney Care support. however, Obama gave Huntsman an ambassadorship to China. Anyone willing to work for Obama is crossed out in my book. Romney will be a contender for 2012. The RNC will support Romney if he is willing to self-finance again. The RNC folks love self-financers, because they won’t be as pressured to fund raise.

Couldn't agree more.
In 2008 Romney (and Huckabee and Giuliani and Thompson) all had their opportunity, running against John McCain -- a candidate who regularly abandoned the party in the Senate and majored in insulting the party's base.
If Mitt (and the others) could not beat the weakest GOP nominee for the Presidency since Thomas Dewey, why would we expect them to defeat the Democrat nominee?
We don't need any of the second-rate 2008 primary crop muddying the 2012 waters.
Self Financers start with one strike in my book. They don't win. Too many independent populists hate rich people, a lot of them being social conservatives. They "don't care about the little guy."
Who???
Certainly you don't mean Sarah Palin? I don't think she's going to run again - for anything. Why would she leave her governorship?
The answer was, who do you think that conservatives are all excited about. Do you know or are we playing a child’s game where we have to indulge your little game playing?
That and the fact that you registered here to promote Mitt Romney.
Here is your 20th post at FR, 18 of the previous 19 were Romney posts as was your very first one and most of those that followed. You didn't even like FR but you had to join to defend Romney.

“So you don’t think much of freerepublic, but you signed up 16 days ago to push a fellow Mormon, we have been seeing a lot of that lately”
First you say you want to stop wasting time. And now you want to start an accusation and guessing game.
” Who???

Is this your serious analysis?
Nobody asked me for a serious analysis. I’m just briefly commenting. It’s late here, and I should be in bed.
I'm not game playing. Give me a break, it's late here.
Me too. Didn’t know if you were being facetious, since she seems so likely to be the conservative standard bearer—and to have had ample reason to step down from the governorship.
