I haven’t been wildly enthusiastic for a candidate since Rick Perry left the race.

It’s been a roller coaster here. I’ll NEVER forget the thread on the night Herman Cain bowed out. My gosh, it was like a revival meeting, people praying he would stay in.

And he was totally unqualified. And Santorum was an afterthought.

I have no idea what happened. I do know a lot of people will be disappointed. Me, too. We could have done better.

But the time for rending one’s garments and gnashing of teeth will be past soon and we need to unite.

It’s important.

Not sure where you’re going with that statement, but if you mean unite around Romney, I have to tell ya I have a hard time with that notion. I’ve tried over and over to rationalize or come up with SOME reason to get passionate about Romney vs Obama, but I just can’t. He has nothing to offer the conservative movement.

Like you, the only candidate I really wanted was Perry, and it was sad to see the way he was taken out (some of which he brought upon himself unfortunately). Then I moved over to Newt, who is closest politically to Perry, but has all that added baggage. Right now, I don’t much care whether it’s Newt, Rick, or a brokered convention. I just want Romney stopped. I just can’t fathom him being the conservative standard bearer.
