Hillary does NOT have heart-felt support from Democrats, which is an essential element of any campaign.
She and Slick are alienating a lot of Bomb-o Brack-a supporters by their subconscious race-baiting attacks. THAT will detract from any potential support big time.
On the other hand, Romney has gotten a LOT of support from strong and influential conservatives... because Romney IS a great promoter of the conservative message.
And because we are certain he can win.
Romney is likable. He is smart as a whip. His business message is timed perfect, considering Iraq will be less of an issue.
Also, Romney takes no gruff from smarmy reporters, which has many the GOP base cheering.
I know I sound like a broken record, but Romney's record is fairly conservative. Did he make some dumb statements in 1993/1994 when running against uber-Lib Ted Kennedy? Yep.
But he got good governance marks from all ProLife groups, from low-tax and conservative business watchdog groups, and even from the NRA he got a B+ ...
So this crap about Romney being a lib is just that... Crap!
The only thing that could yet spare us of the odious slogan “President Clinton” is if she should decide a year from today that she wants a fresh start and will be known as “President Rodham”.
Going forward in Florida and beyond, every vote for Thompson or Huck and not for Romney is a vote for John McCain to the be GOP candidate for President.
And he’ll choose Huck to be VP - they’ve been thick as thieves through this entire horror show.
As a lifelong gun-owners supporter, he joined the NRA in 2006.
Government mandated health care, including subsidized abortions, is now part of his Conservative platform.
Here is Conservative Romney, a few years (not 1994) prior to his conversion...
Not "fairly" enough.
He supported gun confiscation in Massachusettes, the "assault" weapons ban, and was terrible on the abortion issue.
Moreover, I have not been impressed with his lack of integrity on the campaign trail.
I won't support him.
