Now that Romney’s assured of the Republican nomination, he’s become armed and dangerous to Democrats, since he’s now capable of wielding his deadly Etch-a-Sketch powers to win over independents — the ones who decide elections.
We KNOW another four years of Obama would destroy the country; however, we DON’T know that four years of Romney would. A major difference. Go, Mitt.
You've got two Socialist liberals running for president. One is an in-your-face, overtly radical lib, and the other is a smiling, fake-as-a-three-dollar-bill, covert liberal. At the end of the day, there's hardly a dime's worth of difference between them (besides their rhetoric).
So who do you think is the greater menace? Mr. Overt, or Mr. Covert?
“We KNOW another four years of Obama would destroy the country; however, we DON’T know that four years of Romney would. A major difference”
Sumthin’ like four more years of hell, vis-a-vis four years of purgatory ??
Few want to be in purgatory, but it beats the heck out of hell!
The numbers are NOT with Mitt

Mitt Romney must win over 60% of all remaining hard delegates to secure the GOP nomination. Surprised?
19 states still need to be heard from, and of those states 869 hard delegates are available at the state and district level (discounting the 37 total delegates available between Indiana and Arkansas, which have proportionality rules only a democrat could love). State and committee GOP delegates number about 69, which I’m throwing into my calculations as a given for Romney.
Nevertheless, Romney still needs 663 delegates to reach that magic 1144 number.
Can he do it?
Of the 11,280,792 votes cast so far, Romney has accumulated 4,595,908 or only about 41%. Typically, Romney does not garner more than an average of 44% of the vote. Santorum averaged about 25% of the vote. Even if half of Santorum’s supporters vote for Mitt, this still does not give him the necessary 60+ % to secure the GOP nomination.

The best we can hope for is that Romney would not see fit to declare himself president for life as Obama is certainly intent on doing. Romney may actually have some limit beyond which he will not go but I see no evidence that the current illegitimate occupant recognizes any limit whatsoever.
