I have already said that I have concerns about Romney in several areas. Of the choices remaining, he is by far the best we have. By no means perfect but at least for me just within the limits of acceptability. McCain is over the line.
I’m just stating that for a huge chunk of the base Romney is a barfer and more disliked than McCrazy.
The party is screwed now because all the acceptable conservatives were driven out of the race in a far too crowded field.
You can’t win elections if you let states that vote for liberals drive out the candidates that can win in the states that vote Republican.
