Many people in the Conservative Movement and the Republican Party didn't like Romney. They worked against him even thought he was our most viable candidate. They wanted the PERFECT conservative.

Well in this world we rarely get the PERFECT anything. Romney would have been a good candidate, surely better than McCain. If there had not been so many candidates early on then Romney just might have won.

We will never know for sure but I believe Romney could have beaten Obama. Certainly the age factor would have worked to the advantage of Romney and not against him. Yes the DemocRATs would have tried to smear him with the Mormon thing, but I don't think it would have worked.

Don't get me wrong, Romney isn't my perfect candidate, BUT he was the candidate who had the best chance of winning out of the choices we had.

Those of you who opposed Romney bear a lot of the responsibility for the situation we are now in with Obama.

I really liked Romney in the debates. But he was out of contention by the time my state voted. So was Guiliani, my second choice.

I worked for McCain, and voted for McCain, and gave $$ to McCain, but Romney and Guiliani I really thought were better all-around candidates.

True.

Although my candidate was Tancredo, I also realized that unfortuantely he had little chance - MSM simply would not allow it.
