I have come to expect such from NR.
More accurately, Romney is "The Won".
No measurable difference between him and Baraq in most important respects.
At this point, here is how I stack them (my choice, not who would win the primary, general, etc.)
1. Perry
2. Cain
3. Bachmann (I know, no chance)
4. Santorum (I know, no chance)
5. Romney
6. Gingrich (has flipped flopped as much or more as Romney, and I cannot stand his family/moral values — that stated, I would still vote for him in the general over The One)
7. Huntsman
8. Paul
Why should I care who endorses mit?
He is obama light, nothing more.
We are selling ourselves short in and election anyone could win, running against Zero.
A lot of people on here did as well... What isn’t mentioned is that at one point late in the 2008 primary season Romney has considered the last, best hope for beating McCain. The support by conservatives for Romney was more strategic than any real desire to see him win. However, it’s now a different story. Romney is the “McCain” of 2012 (except hopefully he loses the primary)...
The choices in 2008 were:
1. Mike Huckabee
2. Mitt Romney
3. John McCain
I see little difference between Huckabee and Romney, but both were far superior to McCain.
Ramesh makes a false point.
“...... one last fling before Republicans settle down with Romney.”
“Fling”? LOL
Just one of many examples of the “ last fling”.
“Results from an American Research Group poll of likely GOP primary voters in Florida: Newt Gingrich (50 percent), Mitt Romney (19 percent), Herman Cain (10 percent), Jon Huntsman (3 percent), Rick Perry and Ron Paul (2 percent), Michele Bachmann, Rick Santorum, and Buddy Roemer (1 percent).”

I will not ever, not EVER cast a vote for Mitt Romney.
Over a McCain, Hillary or Obama... OF COURSE.
But is Mitt our dream of a decent candidate? No friggin way!
Ramesh, you certainly must be aware that there are orders of magnitude more NON-ENDORSEMENTS FROM REPUBLICAN NON-OFFICEHOLDERS than the handful of endorsements that you cited from the pimps of the election industry!

Mitt sucks.
SCREW THIS: I NOT VOTE FOR ROMNEY!
Two reasons.
1. McCain is (and is still) so bad
2. We have been able to more precisely evaluate the bitter fruits of romneycare over the past 3-4 years.
And this is why we should go to “War” against the Republican establishment!

The top 3 contenders were Romney, McCain and Huckabee as the primaries wound down. The choices were worse than they are now.
