Some people may think having split-personality disorder is a negative, but I like his flexibility. Perhaps he should debate himself one day. That would be fun to watch.
Isn't your sarcasum (spelling) breaking the rules the poster asked us not to do? Too bad, some people just can't find positives to say.

As for his stand on illegals and his hiring them to maintain his million $ mansion. I guess you didn't hear his side of the story, that, BTW was checked out.

It is funny to watch the spin of the Romney troops. Touting all the "overflow" crowds at the venues he is stopping at. Of course, the locations are intentionally small. A few dozen makes the venue "overflow". Why is it Repubs eat this nonsense up?

This country and it's economy are sort of failing ventures right now and it needs leadership that the business world has confidence in to come in and pump life back into it. It is amazing how much better everything else will look when the economy comes back to life. Mitt Romney knows what kills businesses and what stifles new growth and he intends to remove those barriers and put people back to work in this country.

My other top reason is that he is a good and honorable man with no skeletons falling out of his closet at every turn. He will not be an embarrassment to this country and will represent it with the dignity we should be represented with. He also has a lovely family that is very supportive and will be right there all the way with him for support.
I absolutely agree with you.

Only rule is no trash talking other candidates, focus on Mitt and his positive attributes. I'm looking forward to an insightful and respectful conversation.
Hmm. What do I like about Romney? Oh yeah - I like the way he sings "Who Let The Dogs Out" when he's around a bunch of black people. I'm looking forward to hearing him sing the entire song on stage if he wins the Presidency.

Huge difference.
There is a huge difference. Sorry if you don't see it that way.

I agree. Huntsman would be my first choice but I will gladly support Romney. And I like to think of myself as a rational, mainstream Republican.

President Obama will never beat GWB as the "worst". I would say that starting a vendetta war with Iraq by using the excuse of 9/11 and lying to America about WMD placing American soldiers in harms way (and losing the lives of over 4400) counts as the worst in my book....actually, more like the bottom of the barrel.

That pales in comparison to President Obama having to fight off the ridiculousness of the Tea Party, the birthers, that clown Donald Trump, that bimbo Sarah Palin and the "Do-Nothing" Congress/the GOP "Party of No"

The people who despise President Obama did so on day one before a single policy had been made, nothing new there. The ones who have "turned" were marginal supporters at best.

Almost any professional Black American has gone through (or knows someone who has gone through) exactly what President Obama has as far as having to walk that "thin line" when you are the "only one". "Only ones" know what it is like to be stabbed in the back by those closest. So I think that 2012 will bring out the side of Barack Obama that he rarely allows "other" people to see. Again, "only ones" generally do not like to "go there" because they will be labeled as "aggressive", etc.
