  It's physically impossible for me to vote for Romney even though he calls himself a "severe" conservative. I'm confident that he will appoint the same sort of judges that he appointed while in Massachusetts. Romney is a statist and it's built into his DNA. He's the enemy within and that's the really sickening part of this horrible situation. He doesn't know the meaning of the word 'liberty' and liberty is the one thing we need to reverse course.

The very leftily practiced Mitt has to be “severe” just to approach some kind of mushy moderation. Mitt will tend left without that kind of effort. If there is room for optimism about the outcome of a putative Mitt win, it is that Mitt appears to acknowledge the need for the effort. Mitt has no reason to be ignorant that what flew in Massachusetts, with its predominance of screaming liberals, will not fly in the USA as a whole.

This does not mean Mitt is any sort or kind of savior. This shows him to be a deeply flawed man with a little bit of an inkling that he needs to do better. That won’t save his soul. But it may be the means of mercy to America.
