There will be NO enthusiasm for that Massachusetts liberal. There will be no 2010-like conservative grassroots work and money to get that slimy liberal elected.
The GOP can rot with their Obama-lite candidate. I will never again vote for ANYONE who is not conservative. PERIOD!
Republicans/Conservatives go through your type of argument every voting cycle, and oftentimes, we end up with a democrat getting voted into office, and then, those conservatives and republicans come back with their tired comments of regret that, we ended up again with another liberal destroying the economy and destroying our liberties and rights, and destroying the country.
You are correct that the GOP is giving us someone who belongs on the democratic party more than with republicans. But, Romney is at least much better for economic policy than the Marxist in power right now. So, I’m not voting for Romney to lead us on the many issues that matter; I’m voting for him on one issue, that being the economy. He’s a lot better for the free-market than any socialist/marxist, any time. On the other issues, we can hope to control his agenda by electing/re-electing more conservatives. Romney won’t be able to impose his liberal-like agenda when he’s got to contend with a republican congress which is up for re-election every 2 years. If we can limit Romney’s power, then we will be a lot better off than with any democrat.
