Try posting on FR “Go Romney” and see how truly splintered the party already is. You would get chewed up and spit out. While on other conservative forums you will find those believing Newt is the more progressive of the two, or a dreaded inside the beltway insider. Yes the splintered party is very real. What will it take to mend it? One helluva VEEP choice maybe? Hateful attacks by Obama on our nominee could get us to rally around him, also a possibility.

That won’t work for me. I WILL NOT vote for Romney even if Palin was his veep. He is forever unacceptable to me. IF that is the best the GOP can produce...I’m now an independent (conservative one).
If Romney is the eventual nominee, and I believe that he will be. This was, in my opinion, what the Bush-obama was for; to ensure obama that Romney would be, by hook or crook, the nominee, obama will not even have to campaign. The media will do his campaigning for him. He will be attacked with a savagery that will make the attacks on George Bush seem as child’s play. The attacks will be merciless and unrelenting each day, each hour there will be a smear story on him until the election is over. His wife and children will not be able to recognize him. They [the media members] already have the stories typed, all that is needed is for them to be dated and filed.
