I don’t care how many Republican leaders push this man I will not vote for him.

[rabscuttle385]

There has been "no interest in [the] part of the administration to speak with me or come and really analyze what is really good about this system or what is really bad. Instead they have their own plan without input from Republicans, and I think that is very different from what people expected from this president."

So basically Romney is saying that he wants to help Obama and the Democrats write their health care reform and pass Romneycare on a national scale???

[Cheap_Hessian]

The only thing in the world that makes Romney look good is Huckabee.

[4rcane]

a candidate the media like is one that will lose on the republican side

[4rcane]

whats different with romneycare, curious mind like to know

[VR-21]

I whored myself by voting for McCain last year. My excuse was that the alternative seemed unthinkable. I’m not going to do it again. If the GOP trots out another Max Headroom they can go to straight to hell.

[Jack Hammer]

The guy is clueless ambition, personified.

Let’s hope the Republican party fields a candidate in 2012 for whom consevatives can vote.

Obama’s a four-star walking disaster for America, but he could retain office in the next election if conservatives can’t be brought on board.

[4rcane]

it was palin last election that many ppl held their nose and voted for mccain, not next time if they try to push another rino

[SUSSA]

You got that right!

[A CA Guy]

Romney and Huckabee can't win, but they can spoil the chances of a worthy candidate to win to give Obama the second term IMO.

[Candor7]

If Romney is defending Obama, he doesn’t yet know his arse from a hole in the ground.

[ntmxx]

The founding fathers would have considered Romney a turncoat sympathizer, who would sell out America as any single identity class politician would; think Obama in white drag.

[HarleyD]

"I will be by and large supporting conservative Republicans" but would not rule out backing some moderates

I will not be supporting Romney.

[BruceS]

Romney called Obama a nice guy and said there are some areas they agree on, such as the president's trip to Copenhagen, Denmark, to lobby for the Olympics to come to Chicago, Illinois. But "he's just wrong on most big issues,"

Not that I am in any sense a Romney supporter, but is this where you say he defends Obama? Calling him wrong is support?

[demkicker]

Romney must by dying to waste more of his fortune. He hasn’t got a prayer.

>Romney and Huckabee can’t win, but they can spoil the chances of a worthy candidate to win to give Obama the second term IMO. <

that is exactly right.

[A CA Guy]

Sorry to say I know I am right.

Those two may run for their own ego, or to try and frame the next Republican platform, but if they go too far we all lose.

They should not try to pull what we in California call a McClintock.

[bustinchops]

What part of Doug Hoffman, VA and NJ does Romney not get? The base is never going to support him, and without the base the candidate loses. He can be secretary of commerce. I’m fine with that. Other than that, he needs to just give it up.
