The media is once again trying to force a nominee upon us. I will not vote for Mitt or Newt or any other candidate with an odd first name ending in a "t."

I can't say I would not vote for either, but I certainly wouldn't support either. I don't think Newt stands any chance. We can relax on that one.
I can't say I wouldn't vote for Mitt, I won't vote for Newt. But I could potentially support Mitt. Maybe. I don't think he's as socially conservative as he tries to let on, I think the man's a moderate. However moderates are "RINO's" in today's GOP. It's sad but true.
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is lagging behind other prospective Republican presidential candidates in Southern states, according to new polling, presenting an obstacle for the nominal front-runner for the party's nomination.
A new Winthrop University survey, measuring public opinion in 11 Southern states, shows former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee as the preferred choice, winning 22 percent of the vote among probable primary voters. Romney is way back in fifth place with just seven percent, leading only lesser-known candidates like former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, Rep. Ron Paul of Texas and Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels.
Considering that the South is the backbone of the Repub party, I don't see how Romney is electable in a Primary. If he does win, I hope that Obama pulls out all of the dirty tricks that a Repub does concerning Romney's membership in a gutter religion.

Here we go again, the republican establishment trying to shove someone I don't like up my backside because he is "moderate".
If Romney wins the primary I will vote for Obama and maybe then the repuke establishment will learn it isn't a smart move to ignore their conservative base.

Would you really vote for Obama? As a Republican (both conservative and liberal or moderate, demending on the issue) I could not support Obama for one minute and I hope you would not either. I don't think the party is pushing him down our throats right now anyway. It is the libs that are posting this crap. First they tore Palina apart thinking she would get the nod, now they are telling up, Romney is the only one electable cause they know he probably isn't electable. I am anxious to see how things shape up the end of this year.
I don't think any grey haired white Republican can beat the young dynamic Obama, since many people vote on appearance alone. Pubs need to find a candidate with the same personal appeal as Obama.

Out of curiosity, who do you think the electable Republicans are?
John McCain was able to win the South Carolina primary, even with the momentum Mike Huckabee had from Iowa. In the end, that will be the real test - every winner of the SC primary since 1980 has gone on to become the Republican nominee.
John McCain, a man who at age 50 voted against "Martin Luther King Day".
Hint: That is what the American South wants in office, which is very sad.

Yeah the Republicans are way too "moderate" these days. That's why John McCain had to sell his soul to religious right to get nominated. Face it, the social conservatives in the GOP are a POWERFUL force. Why else would Mike Huckabee even be relevant? Why else would the name Sarah Palin be a household name? If a candidate shows any hesitation on abortion, gay marriage, and a myriad of any other irrelevant social issues he can't be nominated by the mainstream GOP.
