    In a recent pole I conducted on this forum, I was surprised by how many Republicans are AGAINST Romney becoming the nominee. It seems that most Republicans here don't feel he's RADICAL enough to become president. But does America really need a radical? NO! And we don't need another president who's going to continue us down the path that we're already on. We also don't need a president who demonizes the poor and ONLY thinks of the rich. We NEED somebody who's going to go right smack down the middle. And I feel that candidate is Romney.

    In the previous election, I was amazed by the fact that the Republicans didn't choose him. Instead, they chose McSame who clearly resembles Bush in his way of thinking - smart but clumsy. Romney, on the other hand, wasn't shining as brightly as he is now, but was clearly the best candidate. His understanding of the economy ALONE should have made him the front runner. But unfortunately, the Republicans didn't see that. And they're asking themselves "how the heck did Obama win?". Trust me. If you don't choose Romney, you're going to be wondering why that happens AGAIN in 2012.

    The fact of the matter is, MOST Democrats are going to perceive Romney as an independent - not some radical Republican who doesn't care about the little guy. This guy is going to go right smack down the middle and support business as well as the poor. He's going to cut programs WE DON'T NEED and he's probably going to figure out how to get companies to come back to the United States. When you walk into a local department store, you're going to see far more MADE IN AMERICA products.

    And how do you do that? Simple. You give corporations (not necessarily the rich) massive tax cuts. That should do it. But you place sanctions against China and other countries that are responsible for our trade deficit which makes it nearly impossible for American companies to compete with them. You also create an environment that attracts more investment so we have more money coming into our country. If Romney does everything right, we're going to see a jobs boom. Barely anybody will be unemployed! Heck, we might even have a trade SURPLUS which means our country is actually making a profit. No more borrowing money!

    We're not doing that right now. We're letting money leak out of our country and we're borrowing it back. And the Republicans and the Democrats are letting it happen. The Republicans want to cut taxes for corporations but let them continue outsourcing cheap labor. Democrats, on the other hand, want to bring jobs back here but STIFLE companies that do come back. Romney is right in the middle which works perfectly in my opinion. We need CHANGE. Not radical change but change that's SENSIBLE. Do the Republicans and the Democrats a favor by choosing Romney as the nominee. This will put Obama under enormous pressure to actually do something. I think he's a smart guy but he's doing what any hardcore Democrat would do. We need more of an independent thinker. Not somebody who's going to play politics at the expense of the American people.

    The only way I'm NOT going to vote for Romney is if he stumbles and does something really dumb. But as far as I can see, he's probably the best choice for BOTH the Republicans and the Democrats.

    This forum is not a complex plane.
    Why not?
    How do those two statements not contradict each other?
    Care to back that up?
    What understanding?
    Simple; People are idiots.
    Independent of what?
    I think the going down the middle precludes both those things.
    Programs we don't need? You mean like public education or the War on Drugs?
    And destroys any semblance of a decent standard of living!
    What makes you think Romney will cut down on the theft, coercion, and counterfeiting?
    What makes you think he'll do anything right?
    Does "our country" have a balance sheet?
    But then how will he fund his Statist fiascoes?
    What's wrong with outsourcing?
    Middle of what?
    This is the first thing you've said that I actually agree with.
    Radical change is the only sensible change.
    Like what?
    And you don't want one.
    Then why are you voting for a politician?
    Like running for president?

    So you're not voting for Romney? You must badly want Obama to serve a second term! Not a bad choice! But I'm not so confident that things are going to change. Maybe they will. :)

    Mitt is a Republican only because his country club doesnt accept Democrats.

    The Republicans will come to their senses and realize that Romney would get many independent and conservative Democrat ( if there is such a thing) votes and will whip oboobma. I predict Romney will have the nomination sewed up by the end of March.

    A talking head on TV actually got it right.
    Romney' s 25 % stable support is based upon Republicans who call themselves center.
    Other other 75 % are more right of center and swing to whichever guy seems to be leading at the moment ..but always swing back to Romney after they get disillusioned about the abilities of the new comer.
    Romney has the center right 25 % as his base.
    He needs 30 % more to win the nomination.

    He would keep that in a general and take 25 % from the democrats and
    70 % of independents giving Republicans the win.
    It wouldn't be a Perry religious vote..
    A Cain...new more tax vote..
    But a more conservative approach no nonsense vote.

    Perfect..not even close..but exactly what we need now.
    We dont need perfection..just quality.

    Nice slam..

    Perry's too stupid..
    Paul's too old.
    Cain's not smart..

    Newt's too old school.

    I bet they cant match Romney's handicap either.
    or his bank account..

    You didn't say anything about that.

    That is true of every GOP contender except Ron Paul. I'd rather have an ethical, freedom-loving elder than some younger corporate stooge in the White House like we have now and have had for many years.

    Cain's smart. You don't get a bachelor's degree in math and a master's degree in computer science without brains. In addition, you don't turn around companies without brains.

    Since mitt is guaranteed to lose the right wing religious nut group, he is not a viable Republican Candidate. Other than that, he might have a chance.

    I really don't care about his religious background. What I mostly care about is what this guy stands for. It's the PERFECT solution to our country's problems. One of the biggest being our trade deficit due to overseas labor. You give these corporations what THEY WANT to stay competitive and you FORCE to come back here. A true Democrat or Republican wouldn't do that. I believe Romney will.

    Greg..

    If Romney survives the hardest nomination test to date..do you believe those religious far right people would give another election to the progressives who dont want any religion in this country ?
    I think not.

    My faith will not allow that thought to happen.

    Romney may get the vote of a few independents and democrats but he will lose the votes of all the right-wing Christians. They will not vote for a member of a religious devil worshiping cult.

    Romney is more like Obama than he is like Bush or McCain. Sorry, I could never support either.

    Romney sucks, plus hes in a cult.

    Ron Paul is a real Christian.

    Yes, the same one who tries to return some of the taxes paid by his constituents into the pot. Its about recovering their money which they should never have been taxed to pay in the first place. Thus, he votes against pork barrel spending and at the same time tries to recover the taxes paid by the people in his district.
    This might just be too honorable for most to fathom!
