Are you a Romney supporter?

I'm not a Mittbot, if that's what you're asking. But I'm also not a Romney hater. He has pluses and minuses. I'm not a Gingrich hater. He has pluses and minuses. I'm not a Santorum hater. He has pluses and minuses. I'm not a Ron Paul hater. He has pluses and minuses.

Two years ago, on this site, it was utter sacrilege to even suggest that there was the merest possibility that Sarah Palin would not be the 2012 GOP nominee. If anyone offered even the slightest opinion that Sarah might not run, and if she ran she might not win, someone would declare that poster a "Mittbot" and a hell storm of fury would descend upon that poster.

I've been a registered Republican since I was old enough to vote, and my vote in the primary never meant a tinker's damn, because the nomination had always been sewn up by the time I cast my ballot. So I'm in the habit of watching the nomination process unfold without having much say in the outcome.
