They will vote for him for one reason and one reason only, he's not Obama.
It is "Inde" as in "Independent", I am one and so are many people I know, right now none of them are willing to vote for Romney so that kills your claim. Watch and learn in November

lets be honest here, there is no way the republican party will have 3 minorities be the face of their party.

Romney is ahead of Obama in most polls among independents

Here are two recent ones:

Poll: Romney has slight edge over Obama - Political Hotsheet - CBS News

Battleground Poll: Obama, Romney in dead heat - James Hohmann - POLITICO.com

The independents you know obviously =/= most independents

You are a hardcore Obama lover so I don't know if you can fairly call yourself an independent. Most independents are not Obama lovers any longer.

Arizona governor signs bill revising new immigration law
I don't think it worked. This is the USA Today less than a month ago and as you know Arpaio is under investigation for racial profiling.

"...As I sought to pay my respects to one of my heroes, a police officer profiled me, detained me and demanded documentation. In what has become a familiar scenario in my home state, I reminded him of nonconsensual searches, asked for reasons for the baseless stop and was eventually released without complying with his unlawful investigation.

What had started in Arizona is spreading. Arizona-style policies across the country now threaten the wins and protections previous movement leaders fought and died for. And I believe we have come too far to go back now.

Shortly after I returned home, news broke that, in his obsession with immigration, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio's office neglected to investigate hundreds of sexual-abuse cases of children in our area. Quickly following that, the Department of Justice concluded its investigation of the sheriff, citing the "worst case of racial profiling" investigators had ever personally witnessed."

I will watch and learn. If your willing to vote for Obama after the mess he has made , or failed to fix, maybe you are not as " inde" as you would like to think.

Really? Is that what you got from my post. I actually was discussing the topic. You know, The new face of the Republican Party. I actually like Mia Love but I don't live in Utah. And also what I said was true: The demographics of the Republican party will change. Either that or die.

Now I ask you, how is that statement false or not on topic?

Btw, I'm not liberal nor a Democrat. So, maybe you should take it a couple of notches back there, champ.

what mess did he make?
and while not fixed yet, how is it not getting better?

I won't even bother discussing how without Republican intransigence we would have been fine by now, because you can't argue hypotheticals and your point that we'd be WORSE would be just as valid (even though it's most likely wrong)
