Of course. At National Review, they love Willard.
No one is forcing you not to vote for him in the primary. I won’t vote for him in the primary.
We already have one and his name is Newt Gingrich.
While I am absolutely not a fan of Newt, I am less a fan of Myth.
It is no secret that NRO is in the tank for Myth.
They might as well change their name to National RINOS Online.
No Myth ever!
Cry me a river.
Gingrich is the most knowledgeable and he exudes leadership and confidence, two qualities sorely absent in the current White House.
NRO jumped the shark long ago.Their opinion means bunk.
We've had RINO after RINO. Couldn't we try someone besides Willard?
Sincerely,

I don’t care if I get banned for this, but:
Newt - sleazy establishment hack who knows how to play the system
Mitt - sleazy establishment hack who does not know how to play the system
The only solid choice are Bachmann or Santorum. Both do not have any realistic chance.
The only logical choice left is either Paul or Perry. Paul is a nut with a good fiscal policy. Perry is a proven conservative who has lead Texas for the last decade. His only downside is his love for illegal immigration.
None are looking too good for an enthusiastic conservative turnout during the general. If I have to pick, I will pick Perry.
No surprise here. The NR endorsed Milt in 2008.
Meh. I said no to National Review a couple of years ago. Sad how it collapsed after Buckley passed.
I'm more and more convinced it needs to be Perry. He's far from perfect - all our options are - but in my view he's conservative enough to live with, and more conservative than Romney or Gingrich. Bachmann and Santorum have more pure records, but neither has any money and both seem a bit tone-deaf to me when it comes to messaging (not that Perry hasn't had his own issues in that regard). Perry has successful executive experience and would, I think, make a very solid President.
I wish I had a subscription to it ... so I could CANCEL it!
The National Journal can bite me, along with Coulter, Savage, Beck, and Rove.
Either they have no answer or they're hiding their choice - then they shouldn't have written the article.

Doesn’t anyone at National Review wish to work for a living?
NRO? Might as well let the DNC pick our candidate.
Karl Rove and the GOP Establishment bashed Christine O’Donnell and pointed out her flaws. But since everyone hated the establishment more, they failed to reason that O’Donnell was indeed flawed. I think we got our proof last night when she endorsed Romney.
Then, in 2008, there were people (including on this site) that led a campaign to stop John McCain with Mitt Romney, despite the fact that Romney was just as non-conservative if not more so than John McCain. But that was overlooked.
It took 4 years but now people realize Romney is a RINO.
And now, 2012. Newt is a RINO that’s mastered the art of talking two sides of an issue and sounding “above the fray”. But that is being overlooked in an attempt to take down Romney. We all know Newt’s record, but now people want to polish his past non-conservative deeds and misstatements and explain them away. If somebody brings up these valid points about Newt, they get ridiculed, because Rove, NRO, Coulter, and the GOP Establishment came out against Newt.
They can’t get their critical reasoning skills to work beyond that.
This is stupid. NRO and Coulter are both right in pointing out that Newt is NOT the answer. FReepers here that want to blind themselves to this truth solely because they are shilling for RINO Romney, you’re only fooling yourself.
Mark Levin’s Daily Temperature Poll today. Who is more Conservative (Romney or Gingrich)? This question was asked before and many people (including myself) griped there wasn’t a “Neither” choice. Well, there’s one in this poll today. See and vote for yourself.
http://www.marklevinshow.com/Article.asp?id=2354987&spid=32364
Neither 58%
Gingrich 38%
Romney 4%
A majority of conservatives still realize Newt is NOT the answer. 20 days to fix this disaster with Bachmann, Perry, or Santorum.
I think for conservatives, the bottom line will come at the Republican National Convention.
Conservatives are “unsatisfied” with the slate being offered. We fear, with considerable justification that they are “more of the same” that have been co-dependents with the Democrats in getting us into this mess. Egotists with uncertain ethics and morals, who speak with forked tongues.
So, about the only real alternative we have left is at the convention. To refuse what has been offered us, and nominate the most acceptable conservative we can.
This means Sarah Palin.
She has been working hard to shore up conservatives for over a year now, while mostly in the background as these other candidates have bashed themselves against the block wall to their detriment.
In practical terms, this means that conservatives must agree long before the convention to be ready to both thwart the candidate the party leadership want, which is most likely the onerous, liberal Romney.
And they must also be ready to face a LOT of pressure from the leadership, along with begging, whining, pleading, etc., insisting that Romney is the *only* candidate who could beat Obama. Let’s face it, the Republican leadership are beggars.
But then, seemingly out of the blue, the whole convention must be turned upside down, with the “unexpected” nomination of Sarah Palin. Conservatives must be completely unified, no matter what candidate they went to the convention to support. After the first ballot does not choose anyone, they are free agents.
The Establishment speaketh:
Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated. You will vote Romney.
The Establishment’s hysterical Newt Derangement Syndrome on full parade.
It will be interesting to see their real time tweets etc. while to the debate rolls on tomorrow night.
We must draft, nominate and elect Sarah Palin president in the most crushing tidal wave of enthusiastic good judgment ever seen in the history of this nation. With that one bold move we will accomplish the dual goals of seeing America led by the greatest natural born leader in our generation, even as we witness the final implosion and last agonized shrieks of our endlessly lying extreme left loonies. Their entire movement, from the fabricated attacks on Bush beginning with ‘Blood For Oil’ to the crammed-down-our-gullets lies of Obamacare and the Shovel Ready Stimulus, have been nothing but one vile deceit heaped upon another. Such an absolute inability to deal in the truth or to face the facts of our situation and its solutions only proves that there is simply no place at the grown-ups’ table for these diseased sputa. Good riddance to rubes and bad rubbish. Time to usher in the American Renaissance, carried in on the invigoratingly freshening breeze of President Sarah Palin.
and who does that leave? Romney or Santorum. What is with all the “conservative” media being for Mitt?
