Mitt Romney for president 2008

Well... in real votes, Ron Paul is doing a lot better than those "fringe" candidates Fred Thompson and Rudolph Giuliani. He's in fourth overall which was thought impossible by most folks here a few weeks ago... you know... the people predicting he'd barely crack 2% of the vote.

. . .One clue that Romney is our strongest candidate is the fact that Democrats keep viciously attacking him while expressing their deep respect for Mike Huckabee and John McCain . . .
Turn on any cable news show right now, and you will see Democratic pundits attacking Romney, calling him a "flip-flopper," and heaping praise on McCain and Huckleberry -- almost as if they were reading some sort of "talking points."
Doesn't that raise the tiniest suspicions in any of you? . . .
(New York Times columnist) Frank Rich is in a swoon over Huckabee. I haven't seen Rich this excited since they announced "Hairspray" was coming to Broadway.
Rich has continued to hyperventilate over "populist" charmer Huckabee even after it came to light that Huckabee had called homosexuality an "abomination." Normally, any aspersions on sodomy or any favorable mentions of Christianity would lead to at least a dozen hysterical columns by Frank Rich . . .

who was predicting that? he's polling at about 3% nationally, so I expect that's where he'll sit when this is all said and done. The idea that because he got more votes after an aggressive campaign than candidates who didn't campaign at all (and sometimes not many more votes at all) means he's doing better in the process than Giuliani or even Fred is ludicrous.

Romney did amazing today in Nevada, yet the Media is downplaying it as if it was meaningless.
It is becoming very clear that the MSM despises Romney.

the Republicans in Nevada were pretty much meaningless- none of the real candidates even campaigned there besides Romney.

One of the little things that bugs me about Mitt Romney is he's the quickest of all the Rebuplicans to tott about being "Pro Life"... yet he favors the death penalty. To me, he's not truly pro-life, but is really simply "anti-abortion". If he was truly "pro-life", that would include ALL life. Of course, claiming to be "anti-abortion" on the campaign trail doesn't sound nearly as good as "pro-life". The question is, do we really want to vote for someone who will twist honesty for the sake of "looking good"?

I don't fault someone for changing their mind. I think it's part of the growing process. It does, however, bug me when they don't represent the truth.

An interesting article written by a Romney supporter about why so much hate is directed at Mitt Romney. I'm curious what people here feel about this article?

seems largely like a silly article- i haven't met many people who are scared of running against Romney in the general... and the idea that they're jealous of him because he's rich or good looking seems a bit much.
its probably mostly because he has no principles, and decides his policies based on who he's talking to. (and the idea that he's not in the pocket of special interests is ludicrous- his campaign is practically run by lobbyists)

This town needs an enema!
This seemed like the best place to put this to lighten the load a bit.

Sheriff Arpaio to campaign in Tucson for Romney
He's not a fan of "real change" and the "audacity of hope" spiel I guess.

I do not enjoy the tone of this article in the least and merely hope that it is alarmism:
Really, that is not the sort of thing that I like to hear: the traditional strong arm of the Republican party is fading away into two groups... The weak and moderate and the crazy populist religious front.
Neither party makes us look good. It is hard to be the party of personal responsibility when there is a certain weakness in our front towards the enemy. And of course, pushing religion on the masses has never done anything but made them hate it as much as when you take it away.
The party needs strength and it needs Romney.
So Romney played in nearly every early straw poll, and pandered to each conservative demographic. He joined the NRA. He talked tough on illegal immigrants, and became a crusader against gay marriage. "Strength" was his watchword. With an impressive gallery of high-profile endorsements, he was the only Republican candidate who seemed to be on the right side of nearly every issue for the plurality of the old GOP coalition.
And yet, his candidacy sputtered. His narrow loss Tuesday to John McCain in Florida was just the latest in a series of disappointments that began in Iowa and New Hampshire, two states where he had outspent his rivals and once led in the polls. His failures have many causes, which will be raked over by historians. But they also suggest a broader shift: Romney may be running to lead a Republican Party that no longer exists.
As has become increasingly clear, the ideological coalition Romney so eagerly courted no longer controls the fate of the GOP, at least in the early voting states — which have favored Mike Huckabee, a populist who trumpets the occasional role of larger government, and John McCain, a legislative maverick who does not always play by the Republican rulebook. Romney tried to run as the establishment candidate, only to find that the establishment no longer held the power.

I hope that Rush endorsed Romney because he will not endorse McCain which he has made clear. Maha Rushie lead the Charge!

I'm for Romney because he is a real conservative not playing like one. I'm glad he is for torturing the terrorists who are our enemies. They lost their rights when they attacked us in NY.
