My first round vote will go to Duncan but if the party goes with Mitt I can live with that—but I wouldn’t be surprised if— having run right — Romney governs left.

I think it’s more RINO because he’s a RINO....

There seems to be a large contingent on Free Republic, one of the Internet's best forums for conservatives, a forum made up of people who know what conservatism is and who represents that ideal (at least most seem to). 86.6% of us don't seem to find too much Conservative about Mitt...

Of course all of us could just be idiots, but we don't want to surrender Conservatism on the altar of hopes and best wishes that a man "may" stay conservative despite his past...

And if it appears at times that Romney is a relentless triangulator - well, for Pete's sake, he's a freaking politician. That's what politicians do. And if the end result of their triangulation is that they pretty consistently come down where you are, then I guess it's time to be happy about that.

Words of wisdom. But they will no doubt be lost on the single-issue voters who frequent this forum.

Never heard of this guy. This post should probably have been made under “Bloggers/Personal” anyway.

Yeah, I think Romney’s chances are not as much as 50-50 against Hillary. But the only one I’d give a 50-50 chance of beating Hillary is Giuliani.

Its currently a two person race between Romney and Guiliani.

I won;’t vote for Guiliani under any circumstances. He’s the same type of Republican that screwed up Ohio since 2000.

See Voinovich, or that idiot DeWine for examples of what I’m talking about.

You mean, you’ve never heard of the ever popular Leon H. Whatshisname?

You must have been living under a rock. He’s been famous for as long as Mitt Romney has been a pro-life 2nd amendment supporter. Almost a full week now. Where ya been? :p

I don’t know of Leon wolf. Assume he is a blogger at Redstate. I searched and it looks like he was also with Swords Crossed?

I am not sure if I am suppose to care.

The one's I've eliminated from getting my primary vote are Paul, Huckabee and Giuliani.

Of the one's left, I don't think Fred has it in him. Hunter still reminds me of my high school disciplinarian, but I'm kind of hoping that he can get his image fixed.

So that leaves Crazy John and Mitt. I'm leaning to Mitt.

There is no Reagan in this race. The real sad thing is that there is not even a Bush.

"For a while, the Fred Thompson campaign gave me hope for someone who might be a little more solid on the issue, but looking at the polling right now leads me inescapably to the conclusion that Fred Thompson is toast."

When did it become standard procedure to support a candidate due to what the polls say rather than what the candidate says? I am quickly losing all faith in my fellow Americans.

The last time I looked “FDT” was running at 3% in NH. He’s in last place behind Ron Paul. Maybe time to start looking at another candidate.

From the Koran:

9.29: Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Apostle have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection.

9.30: And the Jews say: Uzair is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them; how they are turned away!

Rudy is the best guy to deal with the greatest threat to our civilization as we know it.

Romney is a perfect example of the supposition that with enough advertising, one could sell anything to anyone. The Governor of the most radically liberal Democratic state in the US is being marketed as if he is a slightly conservative Republican. Horse crap!
