No. the point is that Mitt Romney would be far far better for Republican unity and the conservative movement than to have a known backstabber like McCain - who is *campaigning* on issues we disagree with - at the top of our ticket.

Romney is against CO2 caps, McCain is for them.
Romney is for drilling in ANWR, McCain is against it.

Romney has been running on Reaganesque agenda. McCain is running basically on being right on the surge, while defedning his RINO actions on amnesty, CFR, etc.

Romney is right. McCain is wrong.

‘Given Flip’s record , do you truly believe that Flip will follow through on his promises ?” Yes. Rush expressed the same confidence after the Iowa primaries.

Romney is a superb executive, in the best sense of the word - he executes, gets things done, turns things around. His Presidential ‘to do’ list is overall pretty conservative, and he will make the effort to “get er done!”.

“When I told Romney what Adams had said, the governor told me he appreciated the free pass he had been given, but that he would respectfully decline to take it—because he has managed to pass some measures and doesn’t consider any of the outstanding ones to have failed irredeemably yet. He handed me a document that listed ninety-seven promises he had made during his 2002 campaign, each one falling into one of three categories: “done,” “ongoing,” or “not yet.” An asterisk indicated those promises on which he had tried to act but had been rebuffed by the legislature. There is something distinctly Romneyesque about the document: the businessman’s ledgerlike mentality; the deep concern that he be seen as a man of his word, a man who will try his hardest to deliver on whatever he promises; and the sheer earnestness. It’s the same earnestness that’s reflected in his ability to toggle from Bain analytic mode to golly-gee mode in seconds flat. I once heard him, in the kitchen of a home in a fifty-five-and-over community near Cape Cod, go from rattling off numbers concerning COBRA payments and health-insurance premiums to saying eagerly, “Well, let’s have some of this banana bread!” Romney’s sincerity, oddly enough, can sometimes make him seem artificial—but it’s a sincerity that others can only hope to fake.”
