Money is pouring in for him. Once he was back in play, people were happy to give him money. He’s “reasonable”.
Look, most of the republicans don’t really care about what we care about. They aren’t micro-analyzing the candidates.
Either we get back behind Romney because he’s got the conservative platform, or we decide to support the liberal McCain because too many conservatives hate mormons, or hate people from the northeast, or simply hate the idea that they might get fooled and Romney would be a liberal like McCain is.
But whatever we are going to do, we better figure it out. Thompson was a bust, Hunter didn’t go long enough to be a bust. Hunter suggested Huckabee, but Huckabee doesn’t seem acceptable to “conservatives”, and frankly shouldn’t be considered for the presidency.
Jeb Bush could have changed this election by endorsing Romney. Why he sat on the sidelines baffles me.
