I can't and won't speak for other conservatives, but although I didn't support Romney as "my" candidate, if he recieves the nomination as it appears he will, I will give him my vote. We as a nation simply can not afford another term of Obama. I think it may surprise you as to how many voters feel exactly as I do and I can assure you, whatever the final result, it will not be a runaway as it was in 08 and in any event, it is also a strong possibility that the GOP will also take control of the Senate, although I do expect them to lose a few seats in the house.
It doesn't surprise me at all, since you live in Texas.
Even if half of Santorum’s supporters vote for Mitt, this still does not give him the necessary 60+ % to secure the GOP nomination.
Paying attention yet?
Romney's in trouble and pied pipering his minions to a very interesting convention.
Look what's ahead, New York, California, New Jersey, Pennsylvainia, Indiana, these will likely be strong states for Romney.
Also he won the Primaris in Ohio, New Hampshire and Florida which are swing states.

Since he is pretty much unopposed now, he should win the Republican primary in those states.
I think the more interesting detail is going to be turn-out.
Will people throng to the polls to show that they really want Romney to be the nominee, or will they shrug their shoulders and say 'oh,well?'

Irrelevant, since he was running against other republicans.
Romney has accumulated 4,595,908 or only about 41% of votes cast by Republicans thus far.
Are Republicans concerned that a majority of Republicans have selected Not Romney?
When you have 8 or 9 candidates running in the beginning and still have 4 just a few months before the last primaries, this isn't unusual. I wonder what percentage supported Reagan in the spring of 1980? Now, if there are polls taken in Sept that show only 40% of the Republicans support him, there is reason for worry...If anything 41% is a very high percentage.
That's a winning argument for Republicans. It's not a winning argument for many moderate and independent voters who WANT SOUND POLICY IDEAS not anti-Obama rhetoric.
When discussing issues with Conservatives any FACTS that don't support their positions are either ignored or rejected.
there was 8 orginial canidates, at least 4 for every Primary, so Romeny is doing quite Fine, and some strong Romney states like, Texas, Indiana, California, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvainia are coming up.
LOL ok, Anne Romney was not the typical stay at home mom. She can't compare herself to me or those moms like me. I am not wealthy like she is and I struggled being a stay at home mom. She didn't struggle at all. Sorry, can't relate to them at all.
And neither can MOST American women that have to raise children either as stay at home moms or working moms.
How the hell can a woman that has a husband that earns tens of millions of dollars a year mostly through capital gains taxed at 15% with a household staff and according to Mitt Romney TWO CADILLACS be described as "STRUGGLING"?
It's this kind of rhetoric that shows how totally tone deaf and out of touch both Mitt and Anne Romney are with the majority of the American people.
I am a registered Republican and will not EVER vote for Romney. As far as I'm concerned, he and St. Hope and Change are pretty much the same so, those voting for Romney are throwing their votes away. (Oooh, didn't like that did ya? Ya, you know why? Because it's just as BS as when you say I'm throwing mine away by voting for Paul.)
I'm not voting for Paul because he's "Not Romney", however. Unlike some people, I stand up for principle.
This is a four-way-race, getting 41% of the vote is very respectable. This race went on longer than previous primaries because of SuperPACS and proportional allocation, so it remained a four-way race longer than any other nomination process I can remember. Now it is a three-way race with no signs of Gingrich or Paul dropping out. Let's look at the vote totals on June 26 after every state has voted, shall we?
