I’m stuck with Romney. I could go with McCain, pretending the polls are correct and she could win, and hoping he doesn’t do anything like what he’s done in the last 8 years, or decide to “pay us conservatives” back for whatever perceived slight he detects against us.

Yes, our major alternatives have performed poorly. But now that my main guy has flopped and dropped out and my second choice is on the ropes, I've decided I've got no dog in this fight anymore. The only ones left are the two I would support, if not happily (Huck or McCain) and the two I will support under no circumstances at all (Flip and Abortiani).

Since I have no passion to argue for Huck or McCain, I'm stuck trying to warn people about the two liberals.

It's not a happy situation, but that's life.

Mitt Romney is a conservative.

Oddly, Rush Limbaugh himself believes that Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani are the two on OUR side of the chasm, with Huck and McCain completely unacceptable.

And I heard Levin put Thompson and Romney on this side of the chasm, and I believe he was willing to be stuck with Rudy, but again thought Huck and McCain were unacceptable.

And Ann Coulter thinks Mitt Romney is the best man we have for President, and she is not a fan of Huckabee or McCain.

I don’t think you’ll hear Laura Ingraham making any endorsements for McCain or Huckabee either.

At some point I hope that people will realise that their fear of a false conversion for Mitt is misplaced, or at least is less of a fear than the real danger of a democrat president replacing 2-3 supreme court justices with 50-year-olds that will be there for 30 years.

Because whatever FEAR you have about what Romney MIGHT do, I can GUARANTEE you that Hillary or Obama WILL do far worse.

As Ann said, even if the mitt-haters are completely right, at worst we get a moderate republican who understands economics and knows how to lead.

And that is loads better than a democrat in the race now.
