Though recognizing his weaknesses, I prefer Newt Gingrich over Mitt, and Rick Santorum and maybe Rick Perry and Michele Bachmann over both. But without hesitation, I'll vote for Romney should he get the nomination. Can the Romney supporters say the same about Newt? - David Limbaugh

Good question - and I think we know the answer may well be: no.

I basically concur with Limbaugh's views of the two elements of the Republican party ('moderates' and conservatives) and his choices for Republican presidential nominee (Santorum, Perry, Bachmann and Gingrich, in that order). Like David Limbaugh, I'll (reluctantly) vote for Romney should he win the GOP nomination but with very low expectations and a feeling of hopelessness that conservatives can ever overthrow the quasi-socialist Republican establishment and seriously address our nation's corrupt congress and it's (bankrupting) spending addiction.

If Romneypuke is forced on us, he WILL lose. Many will just not be able to stomach voting for a liberal, and plus the media will drag out stuff about Mormons as though their lives depended on it.

Guaranteed, he would lose. I’d rather he lose by a HUGE margin than a moderate margin, to teach the #@&*%##!! GOP elitists not to force liberal Rs on us every again.

But I’m hoping that someone else makes it to the slot.

The Republican party does not consist of conservatives and moderates. It consists of moderates and progressives. The conservatives in seats of power are very few, as opposed to the voter base, where conservatives are the many, the moderates and progressives are not even 50%.
