Mitt should, truly, become a small conservative Republican RIGHT NOW, or Mitt should quit the ‘12 POTUS race and let a small government conservative take over!-Like that’s, ever, going to happen. This was Sarah Palin’s best chance of becoming POTUS, and she decided not to run, thanks to the MSM/”left, in all of its forms” assiduous attacks upon Sarah. If the ‘12 GOP Convention becomes a “kissyfest for Mitt Romney”, then how does that not end up making things much worse for Mitt Romney, among most conservative voters and among most very conservative voters, for the November general election?

All the solidly conservative Republicans either decided not to run, or else couldn't attract enough support in the primaries. Who knows how Sarah would have done--but she didn't run. It's too late to ask the person with a majority of delegates to step aside.

Mitt has actually been saying the right things on abortion, Obamacare, and the economy. It's his past record in Massachusetts that makes conservatives distrust him. The thing to do is to keep the pressure on him so he can't backslide to his earlier positions. Even where he has a bad record, Obama is much worse.
