Romney as the candidate will not keep this conservative from voting for him. I swore for years here on fr that I would nevernevernever vote for McCain. I voted for McCain. I know now that I can’t have the candidate I want but I can get rid of the more dangerous one. It’s silly to say that Romney is equivalent to Obama. I know a lot of people here who voted for him in 08!! So, speak for yourself. We never had a candidate that could beat Romney, sad to say. Palin / Rubio / Ryan didn’t run.
The only thing keeping Gingrich from beating Romney is people who have given up.
If we can keep Romney from getting half of the remaining votes we can keep Romney from becoming the GOP candidate. That’s not an impossible task. We can do this if we have the will.
Those of us who despise Congress for not having the will to resist Obama’s agenda need to do some serious soul-searching if we lack the will to get a conservative on the ballot.
The man does not have the party base behind him. He's rather like a George McGovern type candidate ~ sure, he got the nomination, but he lost in a massive wipeout ~ much of it when Democrat voters didn't bother showing up on election day.
