I get the pragmatism DeMint is trying to show here, but Romney has wayyyy too big a sales job to do before he gets my vote. I want to see who the third-party option might be.
As it is now, Romney will get crushed even in Virginia.
At this point, that's also what I am waiting for.
The 3rd party option will be the same waste of a vote it always is. Like it or not, we have a 2 party system due to no ability to build governing coalitions. Most of the time you will be stuck voting for the lesser of 2 evils in national elections. It is only once in a lifetime for most of us that a Reagan comes along (and to the moderates of the party he was considered too extreme and not their ideal candidate). Our real choices are fought out in primaries and, unfortunately, there just wasn't any really compelling conservative candidate this time around which has allowed the always milquetoast and cautious establishment's candidate to dominate. I support Newt and hope he stays in till the end, but I'm under no illusion as to what the ultimate outcome is likely to be.
