When I think of Mitt, I think of the 2007 Iowa GOP debate - the “show of hands question”,

Q... How many of you believe global climate change is a serious threat and caused by human activity?

There were 9 men on stage, and 4 of them had their hands up right away, Mitt Romney was one of them. Fred Thompson jumped in and said he was not playing hand shows today, and Mitt put his hand down and said “I’m with him”. Sign of a true leader? I don’t think so. It told me a lot about Mitt. He’s the stick your finger in the wind to see which way the wind is blowing sort of guy.

Video of that question.

I have taken the pledge. I will not vote for a RINO ever again (I voted for McCain), not now, not ever.

If Mittens gets the nod, I will do a write in.

If so, I will not vote for President.

And to all who will accuse me of supporting Obama: If Mitt is the nominee when so many people publically disavow him, then it is the republican party’s fault - not the disaffected voters’.

That's for sure.

He may be. I do not doubt that the Country Club branch of the Republican Party will give him the nomination. I only know that I and many people that I know will not vote for him. If that means that obama is re-elected, so be it.

Yes, the GOP could select from an array of appealing and promising fresh faces in 2012 -- Govs. Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota, Mitch Daniels of Indiana, Chris Christie of New Jersey and Bobby Jindal of Louisiana; and Sen. John Thune of, yes, South Dakota.
Maybe Medved, being a Jew, doesn't understand the Mormon faith or the problems that lie within it all that well; two faiths without a True Christ!

Huckabee is doing fine with his television program, and it suits him well; also he's put on weight again, signifying a lack of character, self-control, and/or health. He is avidly pro-life, however, and for that he'd get our votes. His "left-leaning" stances don't trouble as much as Mitt's inability to see that abortion is a serious matter, not something to go back and forth on. Romney seems to be a great family man, however, and for that I'll applaud him, but it starts and ends there for us anyway.

Sarah Palin, while an extreme go-getter with an appealing personality that has already done a great deal for our country, IMO lacks the faith necessary to diffuse Obama. Christie, again, the weight issue. If he selected a very solid running mate, we'd vote for him. But the man who was listed fourth on Medved's potential candidates is the one we feel could get this country back on track, a man filled with faith and love for his family and country, and that would be Bobby Jindal. It would be an epic battle of good v. evil. A strong believing Catholic (he's not a pretender) against a man whose god could possibly even be the devil.

Bobby Jindal 2012.

Pray the rosary for our country.

Oh goody. The it’s ‘My turn” method that brought us such sterling candidates as Bob Dole and John McCain. If Romney gets the nomination the GOP will lock down the “Stupid Party” title again.

If that is the best we can do, this nation is in more trouble than anyone realizes. Romney is just another corrupt RINO politician.

Medved makes the valid point that Republicans of late have tended to come around to a presidential candidate whose “turn” it is. The last two who truly fit this definition were Dole in ‘96 and McCain in 2008. How well did that work out?

...History Says Mitt's the Man for 2012.

That's a pair of erroneous assumptions right off the bat.

No more hype, no more Myth.

Medved has the appeal of a wet dog that slept in a garbage can overnight and then walked in your house and crapped on the rug.

Medved hasn't gotten the memo, has he? As a matter of fact, he is right about the historical record of Republican primary voters. The problem is that he is assuming that conditions are "normal." But these are not normal times.

In fact, stating that Romney is acceptable to the Tea Party faction shows that Medved is not in touch with the political reality at this moment. In fact, Romney seems to be deliberately courting the non-Tea Party factions of the GOP. Romney does have organization and the support of insiders, but I will bet you $50 that Sarah Palin has bigger name recognition (and that's both for good and for ill).

If Romney needs a Monica Lewinsky I think he's found one.
