I think it is possible. Ann Coulter didn’t find the flip flops that the FR 14 do. Huck gets a pass on his flip/flops occurring the same day.

and our only MSM Fox News that I am weaning myself of says Mitt’s win is in large part due to the mormons living there ....what 9%? oh my.

As a Mormon with no bias.. it’s amazing how a former Stake President could be ambivalent about Abortion over so many years. His statement about “seeing” Martin Luther King marching, etc..

My sister is a key supporter of his in California, but him and Ron Paul are the only Repubs I don’t like.

There’s a clip on YouTube from Mitt’s 1994 debate against Fatboy Kennedy for the Senate seat.

But of that 1+hour debate (which I watched in full, live back then) the anti-Mitt Evangelicals (”Values Voters” ha ha) have included only a 1 minute excerpt, in which Mitt allegedly is flip-flopping on (guess what?) Abortion.

But Mitt is clearly saying “I’m personally against it” but he’ll defend it because it’s the law.

Unfortunate he had to take that position, but this is in a Senate run against the extremely venal Fatboy in the most liberal state in the USA. What else was he to say?

If that’s the best the Social Conservatives and Evangelicals and “Values Voters” (ha ha) can produce from thatentire debate, it must be pretty thin-pickings on the flip-flopping front.

Ann Coulter.., yes I guess she is trying to find someone to support. This is the first time I have seen her somewhat sheepish when she talks about her opinions.. she seems a bit unsure of herself.

As a person of hindu faith, and therefore neutral in this mormon vs. evangelical tussle, I find it remarkable that Romney is repeatedly called a flip-flopper mainly on his pro-abortio to pro-life flip, yet Huckabee flip-flops almost every day from his record in Arkansas and very few here are incensed.

So to this hindu person, and a lifelong republican, there is but one conclusion...there is a strong anti-mormon bias here. I hope by the time my 16 year old daughter decides to run for president, the country will have evolved for the better.

And I always thought this country was formed on freedom of religion, which is why I fell in love with it.

Mitt’s win is in large part due to the...

Mitt's win is due to his positive, energetic, pro-conservative message -- plain and simple.

He is a fresh face, an outsider, and EXACTLY what the conservative movement needs to bolster our confidence and reach.

Let's face it. Fred Thompson is a solid man.

But his is a wrinkled somewhat tired old bull Moose in the GOP Elephant wing of the conservative cause.

Romney is a young conservative buck, smart as a whip, full of enthusiasm, and ready to tackle the lib-Dem wackadoodle leftists this summer and right up to election day in November.

No dis-respect to Fred, but we really need some energy if we expect to defeat sHrillary or Bomb-o Bracka.
