WASHINGTON - Mitt Romney is a shrewd businessman, known for his cautious approach to the nerve-rattling takeover business. Romney's colleagues even came up for a name for what happened when Romney's inner worries began to ruffle his carefully groomed appearance - "pitting," for when the armpits of his expensive blue shirts would start to darken from perspiration.

Hey, how come you're not championing the endorsement of RINO Lindsey Graham for fellow liberal RINO Slick Willard ! There's another "real Conservative" for you !
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!!
But for V.P...:
"I'm going to give you a name that would make me jump for joy... Bobby Jindal. I did an interview with Bobby Jindal. He is the next Ronald Reagan if he does not change," Limbaugh said, adding that he (Jindal) may even be too conservative for McCain." - Rush Limbaugh
You need to get some sleep.
You digress. We are talking about the word “support”. Buckley supported Romney while alive. Supported is the operative word. He doesn’t support Romney now, as supports is an active word and Buckley, rest in peace, is no longer active in any sense of the word. We are arguing semantics here, but your usage is wrong no matter how you slice the cake. Buckley would agree as he was a stickler when it came to words. So, dead is dead, and Buckley supported Romney up until his demise. Unless you think Buckley’s ghost is going to go into the voting booth and pull the lever for Romney as VP.
Don't get me wrong, Americans are free to believe in any preposterous crap they want to believe in, thats what makes us a great country, but anybody trying to pass off MYTH ROMNEY as a conservative has a definite screw loose.
Please understand, no sane individual can walk the planet for 58 years supporting abortion and then conveniently have a conversion to pro life coinciding with a run for President.
It is a fact that "Romney's father, former Michigan Gov. George Romney, was born in Chihuahua, Mexico, where Mormons fled in the 1800s to escape religious persecution and U.S. laws forbidding polygamy. ", and it is also a fact that no one in his immediate family has served in the military for close to 150 years.
That speaks to character and trust, and I trust him about as much as I trust Obama.
I don't have the foggiest idea what MYTH actually believes in, but I do know that the last thing we need is a con artist talking out of both sides of his mouth on the GOP ticket.
A McCain/Romney ticket will lose to Obama.
Whoa, you got some errors here...
“I see Obama carrying:”
Illinois
Indiana (hasn’t gone rodent since 1964)
Kentucky (this is a McCain state)
Michigan (competitive, too close to call)
Ohio (Obama lost Ohio, this goes to McCain)
Maryland
Delaware
New Jersey (potentially competitive, surprisingly)
New York
Vermont
Connecticut (ditto that of NJ)
Rhode Island
Maine (ditto that of NJ & CT)
Washington
Oregon
New Mexico (it borders AZ, I think ultimately goes McCain)
Nebraska (Um, this is one of the most reliably GOP states)
Iowa (competitive)
Wisconsin (competitive)
Minnesota (potentially competitive)
Missouri (goes for McCain, it’s GOP Presidentially now)
Hawaii
Unable to Call:
Virginia (McCain leads by more than 10% in positives)
Pennsylvania (competitive, and Obama is reviled outside the cities)
California (I think we can give that to Obama without much consideration — hasn’t voted GOP in 20 years for President)
Jindal is greener than Kermit with Executive experience. 6 months in, and mishandling of that recent legislative pay raises issue. He’s not ready for prime time, yet (and worse, if he is plucked away, the Landrieus grab control of the state — LA might actually vote against the ticket because of that).
Hogwash. Since at least the S&L crisis, McCain has been the ultimate model of a Washington tool. His "maverick" reputation consists almost entirely of pis*ing on the conservative base-- McCain-Feingold, amnesty and no drilling being only three such examples.
The fact that Romney was willing to engage in some truthful negative advertising against a media darling so early in the game is exactly what made him my natural next choice after Fred Thompson dropped out. And I certainly wasn't alone.
Give it up. He’s gonna keep posting “Buckley supports Slick” in future posts. He can’t say anything that’s not already in his script. Like the telemarketers.
Agreed.
And, if McCain choses Romney, get yourselves ready and say hello to "President" Obama.
You are a misogynist? You consider Palin unqualified as VP because shes a woman?
Reagan had to compromise a lot in a very liberal state, just as Romney did. I'm not equating Romney w/ Reagan in all aspects, but they had a lot of similarities w/ things they had to do w/ what they were givin.
Let's say you were the Governor of Mass. w/ about a 10-1 Liberal to Repub. ratio in the legislature, w/ the vast majority of the constituency siding w/ the Libs, what would you have done to push through your conservative agenda? Share w/ us your strategy, for the good of the Republican party.
BTW, you're on record as stating you wouldn't vote for Romney for no other reason other than he is LDS. Romney could have been the most conservative candidate EVER, & you still wouldn't have voted for him. Perhaps you should drop pretense.
And, if McCain choses Romney, get yourselves ready and say hello to “President” Obama.
Don’t you wish. You will be proven wrong. I think McCain/Romney will win by a fairly large margin. Bet you a nickle (to buy a pickle).
Romney is a good man. He’s a far better man than McCain.
My choices were Hunter, followed by Thompson, followed by Romney. McCain is the guy I said I’d never vote for whatever happened. So I’ve had to eat my words.
Anyone McCain chooses will be fine with me. If the worst Repub running is still head and shoulders better than the Dem running, that shows you how far we’ve fallen. But we work with what tools we have to work with. McCain will back Petraeus, and that makes him a better choice than anyone the Dems are running. So that settles it.
Anyone he chooses for VP who would likewise let Petraeus finish his work, is likewise fine with me. Badmouth Romney all you want, it doesn’t matter. If I’ve decided to vote McCain I’ve already set ideological purity aside. I’m voting for Petraeus. Period. If that means McCain, then fine. If that means someone picked at random from the phone book, if that someone backs Petraeus, then I’m fine. Lets just get it over with already.
Seems like shes been a Governor less than 2 years, I guess that makes her about as qualified as Obama in terms of experience.
Ping to a hate post, CoCo...someone thinks that not pinging will be a means of escaping notice, LOL....
MITT MATCH
While Mitt Romney’s set of paid PR minions are busy pushing out Mitt for Vice President spin, McCain campaign insiders say that while it’s true they have polled Romney on the bottom of the ticket, the data confirms that such a move would be a political disaster for the party.
“Mitt tanks the ticket,” says a McCain insider. “We lose fiscal conservatives. We lose social conservatives. We lose Catholics. We lose evangelicals. All the groups were spending time and money on bringing into the camp would be lost. He just doesn’t help us enough to do something like this, as much as Mitt might think we should. He doesn’t even win us Massachusetts.”
