Accepted, graciuosly.

As to his Judge nominations, I have talkked with people who lived there during the Romney admin. The nomination and selection process is far different than at the federal level. There is a committe that oversees the whole thing that a Governor has to clear first, and then proceed to the Legislature.

Any even remotely conservative Judges Romney lined up were simply not approved. In the end, he had to get the best he could.

Do not get me wrong. I do not like his record, but I also reognize where he was and what constraints were upon him as Governor of that state and that a lot that is being attributed to him personally was not really him, but the poverall liberal nature of the state, its legislature and its laws that hobbled anything good he may have wanted to do.

Now, he is free of all of that, indicates that he has changed in some very specific areas, and has put together a platform on the issues for the last 5-6 years that he is running on which is, on its face, not that terribly bad.

My point is simple. That is a whole lot better than what we have from Obama and the only real two choices we have in terms of who the actual next President will be are these two.

One a very moderate Republican from Mass who says he has now seen the light on some issues and is running on a platform reflecting that, and the other a Kenyan Marxist who is intent on detroying the Republic and is alreayd well on his way in his 1st term to doing so.

For me, thought it is certainly not the choice I wanted, the choice between the two is still clear.

I’ve done a lot of thinking over the past few days, and given the fact that Obama has become “all gay all the time”, I am coming around to the thought of giving Romney a chance. Not saying I’m convinced yet, but I am a little more open-minded than I was even just last week.

My point Jeff is that there is always an excuse for the bad behavior of Mitt Romney.

If it were you, me, or any other actual Republican with any type of principles we would never have gone along.

Mitt Romney had a choice, he, like you are doing with this issue, excused his bad choice by pointing fingers at someone else.

He could have just said no on principle alone and left the nominations for the next Governor, he chose to lie about the process and blame someone else, just like he did on "Gay" Marriage.

On that matter he refused to be a Man, and take up his responsibility both to his position, the people of MA, and ultimately his god, and wimped out, again, blaming someone else for his own failings.
