The Fix is in! First it was Nikki Haley, then Pam Boni in FL, now some TEA Party leaders musing about supporting Romney, now Bolton!

Sigh!

[Cyman]

I am stunned speechless.

[grey_whiskers]

Most likely means, Palin's not planning on entering.

NO cheers, unfortunately.

[Timber Rattler]

What a friggin’ disappointment!

I’m really surprised at this. I know Perry had mentioned Bolton for Secretary of State if he won, and I thought Bolton and Perry were close, but guess not.

Or Bolton is going with who he thinks will be the winner and angling for a job.

[katiedidit1]

Sad news...but could it be because he works for Faux?

[Christie at the beach]

His first alliance would be to the Bush family. Very disappointing but I am not surprised.

[A. Morgan]

Not so fast, now, Romney is gonna crater in the south.. after what he did to those people in Mariana, FL.. Romney is nothing but a modern day CARPETBAGGER!

[Sprite518]

Yep translation.... Obama wins 2012!

Thanks for screwing our country GOP!

[blasater1960]

“They” have chosen him and the GOP sheeples are falling in line. I will not vote for Rome-ney.

I have a new theory about this. I was just reading a Virginia conservative blog (Bearing Drift) which also just endorsed Romney. One of their points was the attacks on Romney for being a capitalist.

I know we have had a good argument over whether that is why he is being attacked, and whether those attacks are right or wrong.

But now I am seeing there was a different question — are the attacks GOOD or BAD for conservatives. And it appears to me that the attacks have backfired. Rather than sink Mitt as we want, they seem to have made people rally to him, or at least defend him, like Rush Limbaugh.

Maybe this would explain part of why Bolton went over to the dark side. I don’t know. I can’t figure out why so many people are turning against us.

Still hoping maybe Santorum can pull this one out.

Another significant endorsement for Romney.

In a well-timed announcement, the Romney campaign on Wednesday rolled out an endorsement from Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach -- the co-author of illegal immigration laws in Arizona and elsewhere. Romney said he wants to work with Kobach to "support states like South Carolina and Arizona that are stepping forward to address this problem."

The campaign also released a statement from Kobach saying Romney would stand "shoulder to shoulder" with states like South Carolina in the illegal immigration fight. Kobach called Romney "the candidate who will finally secure the borders and put a stop to the magnets, like in-state tuition, that encourage illegal aliens to remain in our country unlawfully."

My heart is breaking, but it doesn't matter. I so respected Bolton, but it doesn't matter. I will never vote for Romney, but it doesn't matter. I live in WA, and our electoral votes will go to Obama whether I vote or not. My congressman is a RINO (Reichert), my governor stole the election, and our nominee for Senate was a RINO too (Rossi).

We left Canada in '92, and love being Americans. I had to remind my 9-year-old tonight that despite Obama and Romney, we live in the best country on the planet, and the best planet in the galaxy. But tonight, I am disheartened.

So, who gets my vote for president ... Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, or John Galt? Right now, it doesn't matter.

[Natufian]

Disappointing but not the end of the world.

[AdamBomb]

The fix is in. Once again, our candidate chosen by the puppetmasters. We are so screwed.

I WILL not vote for Mittens. It is a vote for Rove and the establishment. They can screw themselves.

[Cincinna]

Romney is the establishment candidate, so don’t be too shocked when the establishment supports him.
The Tea Party demographics is mainly upper income suburbans, mainly women. They will all hop on board the Romney Express.
Google “mitt romney” and number 3 that comes up is “Mitt Romney dog on car roof”
This is going to get really ugly!
