Most people will say no. Yet, a great number of people who call themselves Conservatives are intending to vote for him anyhow.

Why? Are you a Conservative committed to Conservative principles, or are you not?
Because they aren't allowed off the Republican political plantation. how do you like that Reverse psychology?

Agreed. I'll end up voting for Romney, even though I'm not a big fan. He just can't be as pathetically bad a leader, and lacking in knowledge, as Obama. I think some reasonable policies (if he could get them through the Senate) would help spur job creation.

How about not a leader at all? He must be planted, and someone else will be pulling the strings. We saw that with W Bush. It is why I'm not surprised Romney is getting his chance AFTER McCain who got a chance AFTER W Bush.

Romney is, after all, a better reflection of what Tea Party and America's conservatism is about than Ron Paul, isn't he?

I think many who will end up voting for him are not thjat crazy about him. Could be the reason for the 3 week runs others had ealier.

Ive spoken with many people who say " Im not crazy about the guy , but he,s better then Obama"

The republican establishment can count on it, every time. It is why it isn't about: "Hate him, hate him, hate him... believe that you hate him". It ain't about... I am going to do this, this and this, and this is how we're going to be different since the decade long failure in helping define a healthier economy.

I do too (see above)!
If Hitler was running against Obama, they'd vote for him. How long before someone responds to this comment by saying that Obama is no different than Hitler? People are so predictable.

The ONLY reason to vote for Romney, as I see it, is to STOP Obama from appointing any more radicals to the bench of the Supreme Court.

First of all, Obama has NOT done what he said he would do.. what more reason do you need? Obama has FAILED to do what he promised and what we believed he would do.. He struck out! I don't BLAME him mercilessly.. but he simply was not up to the task at hand..

Just like in baseball, when you strikeout... you go back to the bench and let the next guy take his swings...
