I strongly agree, dear Jeff.
I think the problem we are having here is, we cannot agree on solutions if we cannot agree about what the "problem" IS.
To some of my correspondents here, the problem is ROMNEY. But to me, the problem is OBAMA.
And yet, I totally agree with you here: "...I will not desparage or naysay anyone who loves this country and its constitution and who acts in this regard out of those convictions, even if they are not what I personally intend."
I think Newt is dreaming, if he thinks he's going to win the nomination at a "brokered" convention. My best guess is Romney will have the 1240 (or whatever the number is) electoral votes in hand before the convention is even held.
Tomorrow's five primaries should give us some insight into his "momentum." As I mentioned before, like it or hate it, it appears the man has "the wind at his back" at this point, and may have reached critical momentum going forward from here.
JMHO, FWIW.
Thank you so very much for the links to your perspicacious, well-reasoned articles! I read Why I will Support Romney if he is the GOP Nominee last week on Facebook and agree with your fine analysis of the situation.
Thanks, Jeff.
I might not be one of the aforementioned correspondents, Betty, because to me the problem is Romney AND Obama. It isn't either/or, it's both.
