Honestly, Paul would be my 2nd choice. But his personality is so polarizing, he could never be elected.

And Romney, Santorum and Gingrich aren't polarizing? Check the numbers... Romney has about 2/3 of the GOP that can't bring themselves to embrace him. The numbers are about the same for the rest. There is no candidate in the GOP field or in the on deck circle outside of maybe Chris Christie (maybe) that wouldn't get over a 50% approval rating from the GOP base right now.

Most people will be voting against Obama and not for Romney in November. it's not like people are jumping out of their seats just itching to plant Romney yard signs.

Actually, Romney has about a 60% approval rating from the GOP. He is the most commonly listed second choice.

I'm not saying he's hugely popular but the whole 2/3rd don't like him just isn't accurate. When there are six choices if they were equally popular each candidate would have about 17% support - Romney is at double that.

According to Roll Call, Fox News and several other sources, Jon Huntsman is going to bail out tomorrow and is going to endorse Mitt Romney.

Which makes my point that in the end, they really are not voting "for" him, the will be voting "against" Obama.

The end result is the same, but the motives are different.

Yes/no - say Gingrich is your first choice and Romney is your second, if Gingrich drops out then you would vote for Romney as you choice that's left. Basically this happens every election for both parties. I think plenty of Obama voters preferred Hillary but still considered Obama to be a good second choice.

What other choice did they have? :p It was essentially only 2 candidates in 2008. Plus, you can make the argument that the anyone but Bush sentiment was just as strong then with Dems as the anyone but Obama sentiment is right now.

There were people out there pushing John Edwards and even Bill Richardson around this time 4 years ago.

Apparently this endorsement is somewhat of a big deal? This guy is a T-party favorite or something.

Mitt Romney has no credible plan to cut government. Romney right now is running to the left of Barack Obama…he's criticizing him for cutting medicare….he's criticizing Rick Perry for calling social security a "Ponzi scheme"…and he's talking about drastically jacking up military spending. What are you gonna cut? - Matt Welch
