Wow, look at those enthusiastic faces surrounding Romney!
“Now that the race [is] a two-person contest, Mr. Romney ought to be able to bring more small donors in,” said Michael J. Malbin, executive director of the Campaign Finance Institute (CFI), a Washington-based think tank. “But to do so, some things will have to change. He will have to gain more passionate support or more committed support as opposed to respect. He will have to make a real effort to find these people and go after them. This campaign at several points has said that it was doing so, but we do not see much evidence of that.”
Even if Mr. Romney goes after smaller fish, it’s not clear the GOP rank and file are eager to hop into the presumptive nominee’s net.
“Not unless I’m struck by a lightning bolt from on high,” said Emma P. Routh from Franklinville, N.C., who fired off a $100 check to Mr. Santorum in March, weeks before the former senator from Pennsylvania dropped out of the race. She said it might take divine intervention to get her to send a similar check to Mr. Romney.

Common sense. If President Obama had any such plans he would have accomplished same in his first term, never leaving a second term to chance. And Romney likes America? Romney likes Romney. I have previously said I would gnaw my arm off before voting for Mitt Romney.
I agree. And once again, trying to convince others to vote for Romney by expressing the fear that if Obama is re elected the world as we know it will end and dogs and cats will be sleeping together is not persuasive.
I cannot believe that West would run with Romney. I think it would cost him his credibility. And from what I know of West, he is too smart to do that. I have a hard time believing he would accept the VP position with Romney.
And Obama has a record of ignoring congress, ignoring the constitution and frittering with communists, jihadis and Marxists.
Love your country more than you hate the GOP-e.
>>IF conservatives win control of the senate and maintain control of the house..they can BORK Obama’s supreme court nominees<<
And if we don’t win the congress? There are a whole lot more if comes with counting on a conservative senate than just voting the Muslim loving Marxist out of office.
Let’s face it, odds are pretty well against us to get a Super Majority of conservatives. That would be what we need to stop Obama in his tracks.
>>Common sense. <<
Far from common sense.
Listen to BO’s own words. He told Putin that he will have much more flexibility after his NEXT election. He said NEXT.
To assume that BO will not continue to go forward with his Muslim Brotherhood/community organizer plans is foolish.
The sin of pride prevents a lot of people from doing what they ought to do.
IF dems control congress they may Bork Romney’s nominees. Which I would hope are nothing like the liberal judges Gov Romney appointed in Mass.
We need a strong grassroots movement in the statewide elections where conservatives work their asses off for the nominees. We also need to hold the republicans accountable for their votes and non votes. So far they have been wimps on more occasions than I care to remember.
“Geniuses” like Dick Morris claimed during the primary that we’d lose the election if we didn’t have a candidate until the convention because they wouldn’t be able to start their general election campaign until 2 months before the election. Well, now we have a candidate, but he still can’t start his general election campaign, because he’s still fighting for the support of the base. My advice to Romney is to give up fighting for the base. It’s not going to happen. The base are very smart, very well-informed, very dedicated to their cause and they can sniff out who is or is not one of them, and you’re not. His only shot would be to go full-bore for the moderates/independents and soft liberals no matter how much it risks ticking the base off and no matter how much of a financial disadvantage it causes him. And he needs to bus Utah Mormons all over the country and set up LDS encampments because he won’t be getting a lot of the usual volunteers from the base.
>>You are truly are supporting an evil choice, a lessor of two evil choice for sure, but a choice, that I believe, that long term will be much more disasterous for the GOP than Obama would ever be. <<
I don’t give a rat’s behind about the GOP. I’m a registered Independent and have been since I voted for Reagan.
However, I love my country. I love her so much that I will sacrifice some comfort to save her. I don’t like Romney, he is a lying snake, but Obama is a Muslim loving, Israeli hating, Marxist who is willing to gift Poland, Slovakia and all of Eastern Europe to the Russians.
The Muslim Brotherhood is in the TSA under Obama.
I think the problem with a lot of conservatives, oddly enough, is triumphalism. A lot of us believe that we are the majority, which is false. When the media polls for conservatives and gets a majority %, they are including blacks and Hispanics, who are social conservatives, but economic liberals, and always vote overwhelmingly for Democrats. Bottom line is every Democratic administration is an opportunity for the Democrats to assemble a new entitlement that permanently buys them the block of recipients eligible for it. While we're out RINO-hunting, the Democrats are permanently reducing the number of conservatives with new costly and irreversible entitlement programs.
You have it pegged.
Good old Myth sent me an email asking for $21.50...so I deleted it. The GOP-e got their RINO, they can pay to get him elected.
Don’t expect anyone who God is #1 with them to associate themselves with that cult leader with his evil ways. Cults think they found a better way - there is only One Way, JESUS! I hate EVIL with a passion. Either one hates evil or embraces it, there is no in between.
Could be the very reason backstabber mitt is running.
Leave it up to the media to tweak out a paragon of mature judgment like good ol' Emma here. Not exactly a 'wise Latina" but close enough for media work. I'm sure she'll "fire off" a check to Ron Paul next.
Geez. What squat.
“I personally think Paul is crazy... but who knows... maybe he is crazy like a fox :)”
Nope, crazy like a loon.
I don’t see Obama loving my country when he implements Gay Marriage, a Carbon Cap-and-Trade system, an Assault Weapons Ban, and Socialized Medicine.
America wont see Romney doing any of that.
