Welcome to freerepublic, sleeper romney troll with all of 8 posts over almost 8 years, until tonight.
No, welcome to you newbie... I’ve been reading Freerepublic longer than you have. Just not a big poster.
And, I’m no Romneybot... Just a realist. I want to win. Some people here seem to be willing to lose the election out of spite. Do what is necessary to win, then worry about pulling the winner to the right. 10 Romneys would be better than four more years of Obama.
There are Republicans with the potential for nationwide appeal... Romney, Ryan, Christie, Rubio, etc. Santorum seems like a good enough guy, and I would have no problem voting for him, but he will not win. Period.
