Mitt Romney adviser Eric Fehrnstrom on Wednesday dismissed concern that the nastiness of the GOP primary race could negatively affect the fight to replace President Obama.
"It's almost like an Etch A Sketch — you shake it all up and start over again," he told CNN of the general election. He said the Republican Party would rally around the eventual nominee.

Start fresh just like Romney’s critical policy positions.
I’m just going to say it like this.
Romney, the worm, is going to be the nominee. That is reality.
Another reality is this.
If Obama get’s re-elected, America is finished, done, dead.
And so are we.
I’ll be voting for Obama’s opponent even if it makes me vomit.
Exactly! Its an astounding admission one the media (and most GOP voters) is too dull to comprehend. The guy will be anything to anybody as long as he gets his. See O’Romney really is an Obama mini-me...its all about me all the time.
It’d be funny if it wasn’t so sad. When your campaign adviser admits that you’re full of dung and people vote for you anyway, well...
Heh.
America is done now.
I plan to face my maker with a clear conscience.
I really don’t think you will be doing anyone any favors by voting for Romney. In fact, it may actually be worse. Here’s why (from an earlier post)
“I won’t vote for Romney. He will pick up Zero’s play book and continue right where he left off...except this time it will be under a GOP banner.
Do you think the GOP losers who are running away from the Fast&Furious scandal are going to hold his feet to the fire? Maybe the GOP leaders who gave us the wonderful debt ceiling compromise?
If you don’t think this class of losers aren’t going to gobble up every piece of gun grabbing socialist healthcare drivel that Romney spits out, you are badly mistaken. He will appoint liberal judges just like he did in Mass....and the GOP leadership will embrace them.
Our only hope is the fact that Zero is in a different party. The partisan politics will make it at least tougher to pass things and approve judges.”
I may vote for him, haven’t decided yet, but I certainly won’t rally to him. I can’t stand the guy. He bought the nomination by using all his money to smear the other candidates as big government RINOs knowing they did not have the funding to defend themselves and expose him as a liar and fraud. I just can’t stand Romney, and I don’t trust him either.
My problem is that we’ve been hearing the same thing for decades. “Vote for the RINO or America is done” The problem is, things continue to get worse even when the RINO wins. To make matters worse, they push us further to the left with each new RINO.
I can no longer continue voting for the lesser of two evils. Its like voting for Hugo Chavez over Kim Jong Il because Chavez is slightly less evil.
You're right about that. They are laying for him, the headlines have already been written.
They will also “Blank the Slate” so the so-called tolerate Democrat Liberals will be able HAMMER him on his Mormon religion....
The Problem as I see it with Romney is that he will be such a mediocre President that even if he does win he will be so middle of the road as to “not upset the apple cart” that the economy will not bloom and then in 4 years it will assure that the democrats take back power on the whole meme that the “economy didn’t recover”.
Not to mention any GOP president is going to be so damned hated no matter how “moderate” they are. Mittens will get so damned gun shy that he will be ineffective and the MSM and the Democrat controlled media will smell blood and keep attacking him even as he retreats and this will paralyze him to what needs to be done to restore the economy and defuse all of Obama’s horrible regulatory actions.
Newt is going to be hated like hell anyways and HE KNOWS THAT, but he also knows that he will have the people who put him there behind even if the Media doesn’t paint it that way every night at 5:00pm.
So therefore, Newt (who thrives on antagonism instead of flinching from it) will take the bold measures to recover the economy despite being thrashed every night on the MSM news channels. In Four years the MSM will be flabbergasted like their were on election night in 1984, because the man on the street will notice the economy improvement.
Mitt is a Flincher, Newt is a Clincher
Definition of a Clincher:
a decisive fact, argument, act, or remark
Definition of a Flincher:
to withdraw or shrink from or as if from pain
We are so SOL if Either Mittens gets in or Barry gets a second term.
Mittens would only slow things down and then in four years the GOP would be blamed so much but with little to show we would still be in an economic malaise the likes of Carter’s worst dreams. This would GUARANTEE a Democrat Victory over the house the senate and even the presidency in 2016. They would not be pulling any punches as they would run someone that would make Obama look like a middle of the road moderate. Because they know they would have a very good chance of winning. Not to mention the class warfare game that could be played to Bolshevik conclusion during that election if we get Romney and mediocre performance out of him which is very much likely.
Of course Obama winning would be a very much “nothing to lose” second term that would see him likely either completely destroying the economy so badly that they play the game of “Destroy and Support” in that they would destroy the economy and then support the people as the “great savior” thus ensuring either “Glorious Revolution” or the mass construction project of making millions more so dependent that they will have a permanent grip on power that would only come undone with Blood sweat and tears, but mostly Blood and Tears.
ABO and ABR, because we really need Newt or maybe Santorum if we get desperate, heck I would even take, heaven forbid (I can’t believe I am saying this), Ron Paul over Romney for the reasons above.
So I repeat once more: Newt is the Clincher, and Mitt is the Flincher.
I give up. Who is the Libretarian candidate this time?
He just reinforces my belief that the GOP has never intended to win the White house this time.
Our only hope is to keep pushing congress to the right and elect conservatives to every office from dog catcher up.

Its hard to disagree. The GOP never wins without the south, and its clear from 2008 Willard is not well received there. What do they think has changed down there?
“Wow. He’s pretty much admitting that he is a blank slate, updated to the ‘60s thanks to the scientific wizardy of Ohio Arts.”
Gotta love the cutting edge. They had to stay up drinking Sanka all night for that analogy.
No thanks. The bridge has been burned and the ground scorched.
So like him or not, if Romney is the nominee to face Obama then we conservatives can all pout about it and let Obama get re-elected. Now that makes sense. The town drunk would get my vote over Obama.
