Well were people excited about George H.W. Bush, Bob Dole, or John McCain? Republicans don't really nominate exciting candidates and instead they nominate people who have waited their turn.

''Waited their turn?'' - Oh, I get the memo. >> Wow, now....I'm excited! >> NOT<<
As a lesbian who would love to have at least a civil union and adopt children I will not be voting for Romney for the following reasons:
• Mitt Romney has created and acquired a reputation for being the most conservative candidate in the 2008 Presidential elections not only by taking a tough stand against gay and lesbian marriage but also opposing most of their petitions seeking rights for these groups.
• Mitt Romney is against the idea of letting gays and lesbians serve actively in the US Military. In addition, he has said that he would not support over-turning the 'Don't ask, don't tell' legislation.
• Mitt Romney has openly opposed same-sex marriage saying that it is the family which forms the basic foundation of America and therefore, it needs to be built further, protected and strengthened instead of being redefined. To this effect, Romney has expressed support for the Federal Marriage Amendment which would modify the US Constitution and prohibit same-sex marriage.
• Mitt Romney has expressed opposition for civil unions as well saying that he would want to see marriage limited to being between a man and a woman. He said he would support neither but if asked to choose between same-sex marriage and a civil union, he would choose the latter as being a lesser evil.
• Opposing the Supreme Court judgment on the matter, Mitt Romney strongly feels that same sex marriage would destroy not only the culture of America but would also irreparably damage the education system and thereby children.

This is a fact.

WOW!! Thanks for this input. If Romney does NOT 'flip-flop' with his position on these immoral issues, he's looking BETTER as a candidate.

None of your selfish reasons above fixes the more important economic problems of the country compounded by the "Hustler-in-Chief" Obama.
Whoever wins the GOP nomination wins my family's votes, Romney included. My excitement is derived more from the possibility of seeing Obama lose than seeing a Republican win.

Exactly. If you want some excitement then go to a football game. We want serious people for a serious job, not another Democrat that just wants to pad his bank account by using the office as a stepping stone.

I sort of doubt you would vote for any Republican candidate, because they all take similar stands on such issues.
