About Romney:

Positives:

He's the only GOP candidate or potential candidate who has been married just once. Which is extra-funny since he's a Mormon...

Seems to be overall a good family man.

His CURRENT positions are quite acceptable.

He's a good speaker and looks the part.

With one exception I'll list below, seems fiscally conservative.

Good business sense-which is important.


Negatives:

He screams "slickmeister" and seems a bit TOO polished for me. Almost as if he's our own Bill Clinton but keeps his d*ck in his pants.

He got elected in Massachusetts...not sure if that's a good thing or a bad one.

Didn't he implement a socialized medicine plan in Mass?

Basically from what my future in-laws and my fiance herself have suggested (they're from Massachusetts) he pretty much gave up, and cut and run from the Governor's office to run for President.

I really have no major beef with Romney, in fact he'd be probably my second choice at this point, but FDT is still my guy. Mitt seems a bit hard to pin down though, and I question if his conversions are geniune.

What people call slick, is a level of self confidence beyond the familiar. People dont like a cocksure guy. Mitt has more confidence than anyone I know, and I spent my adult life around fighter pilots. He has never failed at anything without learning enough to turn it around the next time. I hope, when I am proved correct, to see you as a Romney man.

You forgot Mitt's record of supporting abortion and gun control. He has done a 180 on those but it is quite recent that he made the change.

I'm not a Mitt basher but I have my doubts that voters will believe his conversion, especially crossover voters that do so on those two issues.

He is the only one in the "so called" top three that I could vote for in the General election, but I would be holding my nose and couldn't campaign for him.
