Atleast, we have a candidate who is very organized with some infrastructure ! Probably, Romney will atleast have some leverage to fight against Obama ! Regarding Conservatism-—Let us work on the senate and try to get a nice VP !

we might not agree with Romney, but dragging his mormon issue is too much ! I am so tired of you guys whining for 6 months ! He is winning because, we conservatives cannot make up our mind or could not persuade winnable conservative candidates like Paul Ryan or Rubio or Bobby Jindal !Atleast let us pressure Romney for a nice VP !

At 1.16am in the morning, you made me laugh so hard ! Thanks for that comment !

Also in the meanwhile, we are here sitting and making statements like “If so and so is the candidate, i would not vote”. Wake up you people ! If we give this election, it is going to few more years before we take the presidency. May be even in 2020 or 2024 ! Country would be changed for ever !

Hope your candidate wins if not, just jump into the nominated candidate and work for him.

Amen ! What the hell is this negative talk? So far in the history of United States, a president has not been elected when 70% feel that country is going in the wrong direction.

I don’t like Romney but let us not whine about it ! We could not make up our mind on a conservative candidate ! Romney with a VP ticket of Rubio/Ryan/ Jindal can easily win the election. Do you guys have any idea of swing states like PA, FL, VA? Obama is down so much in these states.

This is not the time to sit in home ! I hate to do this after the debacle in 2008 ! The difference is the economy !

A week ago, Rush “If Sanatorum becomes president, I don’t have to worry about his next move”. If we are going to select among candidates that we don’t like, let us atleast select the conservative candidate. People are forgetting the appeal of Rick Sanatorum with social conservatives.

So many in this forum as been posting about how Romney and Gingrich are rhinos & they are going to loose against obama! If that is the case, why don’t we stand on principles and support sanatorum . Even if we loose, we can be proud of our vote. Not with Romney & Gingrich

Third party? It will get 15 to 17%%, Republicans will get 29 to 31% and Obama will get 45% to win the election in 50 states(may be even in 57 states) ! Stop yelling at Romney ! It was conservatives problem of not able to go behind one single guy ! For the last 5 months, I have to switch 5 candidates and I am tired ! I am going to support Rick Sanatorum and if he looses, I will go with eventual nominee which might be Romney !

This one is good ! I can do that !

Like lot of people, I went from Bachmann to perry to cain to gingrich and I will vote for Sanatorum(if he still runs in may). But what are we supposed to do? Is there any other alternate scenario. Please tell me and I will follow you

In May, if still Santorum is running, I will vote for him in North Carolina ! If not, I will support Romney because he cannot be bad on Economy. All the other issues, there is no way he can do any thing without conservative base. Ask bush/cheney when they tried to nominate women judge to supreme court. Even cheney came in Rush to explain but we did not accept. But leaving Obama again will be death of conservatives/Republicans/capitalistic America

When people start smelling the benefits of socialism, they will stick with democrats for few more years till we all go bankrupt. Economy will get better from 2012 to 2016 and we can run the best candidate in 2016 and he/she will not win.

Probably, we should all get “Anybody other than Obama” sticker. Even in places like chapel hill, NC-—they have 2012 stickers all over the place. They had it for John kerry too ! It does not mean a thing !

We need to stop talking about all the broken conventions & palin entry at the late stage and so on. No one stopped us from going behind a conservative candidate. We keept going from one candidate to other except for Rick sanatorum. 2 days back Rush says, if Rick sanatorum becomes president, I will not worry about what he is going to do next. If that is the case, why the hell we cannot stand on principles and support a conservative Rick Sanatorum. He does not have executive experience? or he supported the rhino for senator in his state? Need to come out with better excuses. No point in trying to talk about sarah palin or other conservatives who are not in the race.

Let us atleast support Romney & try to drag him to the conservative side

Oh stop it ! I don’t support the nut Ron Paul or Mitt Romney(born ready to become president) but in this case, it is perry and gingrich who messed it up. It is not a secret that gingrich is lacking the organization. Little bit surprised about perry. Probably in the last 2 months, perry had lost lot of supporters ! There is no big conspiracy ! This is what it is !

I agree and sometimes, we need to let some things go ! We got some leverage with Keystone and we should have let this go! As keystone provision was there, people in left where mad and the media was trying hard to defend it. Today, no one talks about keystone ! They talk about Obama’s middle class tax cut win and Republicans U—turn ! Narrative has been set and we better don’t repeat this in 2012 legislative session!

I could not believe Republican congress people are so out of touch in being media savvy ! We got obama right where we wanted by making him accept Keystone pipe line and within the next 24 hrs, we just screwed it so bad that, republicans are perceived as the party which says no to the tax cuts!

They better go home and come with plans where they have alternate strategy for every scenario thrown by Obama and the senate democrats ! Because of these screw ups, I don’t want to see Obama getting reelected for lack of leadership from republican congress

In Iowa, If I am righ Ind and Dems are allowed to vote in Republican Primary. Hence forth Ron Paul is leading. Gingrich is loosing support & it was expected. Also, the more conservatives are getting some traction. Michelle, Sanatorum(going to surprise people with strong showing) but at the end of the day Mitt Romney with good organization will win Iowa.

Wrap it up guys ! All along it was mitt romney & we wasted all of our time by switching from michelle to perry to cain to gingrich and back to our establishment. Hope, mitt romney selects some real good conservative VP.

I am not a fan of Romney or in fact any candidate in the race. Gingrich is smart, intellectual idea guy, who will be good for cabinet position. If you really think, Obama will debate gingrich for more than 3 debates or the moderators(who will be from main stream media) allow gingrich to shine, you are insane. Matter of fact, people who don’t follow politics like us, will see the contrast between Obama and Gingrich and will vote for the better looking candidate. Also, do you honestly think social conservatives will vote for Gingrich(after 3 marriages)?

6 months back, i was crying in this board for Paul Ryan. Some of them said, we need him in the congress. Finally I was hoping for Rick perry and he screwed up his image with all those early debates.

what to do? We have only Romney left and I think, probably he can beat obama because of his organizational setup which will be better than other republican candidates

Amen ! If we can select a person with “Hussein” as middle name, you know that, mormon and Mitt is a sill issue ! Talk about Romney’s record, that is a different story !

Yes, romney is a rhino but for this election cycle, that should be even enough to get elected. Folks, we don’t have a good candidate. Sanatorum, Rick perry or Michelle Bachmann is going nowhere and people like Marco Rubio or Jindal or other conservatives are not running. Let us try to push Romney to Right ! There is no other choice ! Hope, he will select the most conservative VP !
