Norm it does. You asked how could a conservative vote for Romney. Obama is the only answer to that question.
We’d not be having this discussion if the sitting President were a conservative would we?
If we stopped electing liberal republicans 20 years ago, we’d have a conservative president now. So if we stop electing liberal republicans now, we might have a chance of electing a conservative one eventually. If we keep electing libs and playing the GOP musical chairs game, we never will.
