McCain was a very tough campaigner who came behind from near bankruptcy.

That doesn't prove the point, it actually makes it worse....

Romney spent 25 to 30 million dollars and lost to a guy who was near bankruptcy.

If anything, that would make him a weaker campaigner then McCain.

I'll admit, I am not a Romney fan, but to be honest, I haven't settled on anyone yet, but Romney is not a viable candidate. If he couldn't win NH against McCain (who had a campaign that was going bankrupt) and while wasting millions and millions of dollars, his odds of winning a general election against Obama (who was a much stronger campaigner then McCain) are very very dim....

Of course not. But we have to be prepared for what he will do in the primary otherwise we will *not* have a conservative win the nomination.
Romney’s going to put a good fight. He has a good chance at winning all the RINO’s who wanted Castle in Delaware. He’s counting on all the conservatives and people like Huck to split the rest of the vote.
This is what worked for Mccain but he’s not going to be in the race next time. Romney will take his place as the RINO King and I don’t think he will even pretend to be a “conservative’s conservative.”

McCain was well known for decades but Romney was coming out of nowhere. Romney also had to compete with Huckabee for the conservative vote while McCain went after the establishment RINO’s.
