New Jersey governor Chris Christie and Florida senatoor Marco Rubio were always crowd favorites, and they’re certainly hard-charging conservatives.

Victor did you have some holiday cheer before you wrote this? I can buy Christie being a fiscal conservative, but that's about it.

why try to imply that Romney is good for us?

He ain’t

He can’t win.

Romney's more like the Syrup of Ipecac candidate to me.

Mitt may end up being the candidate,,but he won’t be President. Obama and the Govt controlled media will suddenly turn on him and he will become a two headed cult religion fanatic.
I’m not sure anything short of a miracle is going to prevent Obama getting another term.

He's already that, they'll just point it out.

Is this a condition of employment at NRO, supporting Romney?

I never took my castor oil - I spit it out and still remember how to do it. But they need to know, I don’t eat their propaganda either- the game is FAR from over.

But if he gets the nom - 3rd ‘PARTY TIME’!! Who should we invite to the Party?

That’s the fighting spirit.

I am big time in the ABO crowd...I have my deepest criticisms for Huntsman. Cannot stand him.

But I will run, not walk, to vote for him if he is the nominee.

My theory is this: all of the Republicans are flawed...but all of them love America. Hussein is not just flawed, but willingly so—and he hates America.

This is one reason Hussein is a worse President than Carter. Carter, inept and feckless, at least loved this country...Hussein doesn’t.

I’ll take a flawed person who loves America over one who hates our nation.

So yes, I question his patriotism.

My forecast and take it for what it cost you. The establishment Republicans will nominate Mitt and the GOP will lose.

The establishment “Powers that Be” actually funded and installed Obama, have used him for bailouts, etc, and they want to keep him there as their insurance.

They gave us McCain “the amnesty and the economy is doing fine” guy as our only other choice. Thus they made sure Obama would win. Then they kicked out Glenn Beck from having any independent influence.

Until we citizens have paper ballots and voting IDs do we have elections that count?

They can nominate him all they want too, I will not vote for him. He is simply a liberal, socialist, commie in RINO clothing. I don’t vote for liberal, socialists, or commies. Thus, he ain’t getting my vote.

"We do have tough gun laws in Massachusetts; I support them. I won't chip away at them; I believe they protect us and provide for our safety."Romney in 2002 gov. debate, Boston Globe, 1/14/07

He also said he was in favor of a full ban on semi-autos. The man's a gun grabber.

...the base knew all about those old reversals in 2008, when it nonetheless praised Romney as the only conservative alternative to maverick moderate John McCain.

The 2008 Republican primary was composed of a much different crowd than the 2012 primary is. In 2008, Romney was the conservative alternative. That was part of the reason there were all those Tea Party-supported candidates (and Tea Party-supported candidate victories) in 2010.

Romney will never be the nominee, I don’t know why the media can’t see it, when it’s plain as day to be.

You can’t will the nomination with a plurality.... you have to get a majority 50+1% and I have never seen a poll even head to head where Romney ever polled greater than 50%.

Face it Romney like Paul has his little core of supporters ~20% and that’s about it, depending on who is being polled that number will vary by about 5 points, but that’s it.

I don’t know who will be the winner ( I personally hope Cain ) but I know who it wont be ... Romney, Huntsman, Paul... none of these will ever be nominated by the Republicans.

Amen... the states that have tried it are getting sued. It is becoming the the only event in our lives in which we need no identification to participate.
