Oh please, she is anything but a closet liberal. She views the candidates, all of them weak, and believes Romney is the guy that will win. That’s all she is saying. She also knows he has the best chance to beat Obama. Gingrich is the smartest of the GOP candidates, but he will get killed in the media and has way too much baggage as she correctly exposes.
Cain, he won’t even finish in the top 2...he is starting to fade. It will be Romney, whether we like it or not. I’ll get attacked for saying that, but I’ve been more right than wrong on this stuff the last 24 months (Sharon Angle, O’Donnell, etc).
The next question will be if he is the nominee, will people here and elsewhere stay home or vote 3rd party to guarantee Obama another 4 years? Do they want a 100% liberal (Obama) or a 60% conservative (Rommney)?
Romney is not a conservative.
He is a RINO and will govern as one if elected.
I don’t want him anywhere near the White House.
I want a conservative. So I'll vote for one. That will not be Romney.
You're being far too generous to Mittens. He's nowhere near to being 60% conservative. I don't know that I'd even give him a 40% conservative rating, given his record and his past statements.
But Romney is a 100% political opportunist, who will spin whichever way the win blows. He's got no real core values, and is well-known for being all over the map, which is why he's almost uniformly despised on this website.
Just a little reminder that Mitt's been a trickster for a long time now. Here's a thread from January 2008 (the linked article is from 2006!): Is Mitt Romney Conservative? (Gov Romney Supported Abortion & Gay Agenda with Judges & Boy Scouts)
