“....of all the people here ranting they could never vote for Romney would end up doing so - most of them probably won’t admit it, but I’m pleasantly surprised how many have....”
I’m one of those folks. When Romney started out, I vowed to never vote for Mittens. I have to eat those words today because I did. Not because I fully agreed with his past performance, but because it was the right thing to do for our country. I think the “game changer” point for me was when he picked Paul Ryan for his VP, and then his performance in the first debate really cinched it. On the other side of the coin, the GOP could have run a south Texas Havilina hog against odongo and I probably would have voted for the hog.
I remember back in 2000 it wasn’t much different with Bush here on FR during the primaries, he was probably the least favorite of the candidates.
