Who are you kidding. Punch the ticket for Romney and be done with it. You've pretty much made your mind up that you are going to support whoever the GOP front runner is.

Why crawfish now?

Not kidding anybody. If I was a Romney guy, Id have said so a long time ago.

Trying to decide how much of his record is due to his core beliefs and how much of it is a result of having to maneuver in a liberal state like Massachusetts.

What would be a good mix? 70% core beliefs and 30% Mass. political maneuvering?

I suppose it would them matter on what issue(s) he compromised on after that, right?

Sort of. You can't be a conservative in a state like massachusetts like you can in georgia or tennessee. Got to come out of the gate as progressive on certain issues like gay rights and climate change. Then you compromise from there.

It hasn't helped matters that Gingrich has gone full on assclown the past few days. The robocall that went out accusing Romney of force feeding Jewish nursing home patients non-kosher food was about as low as it gets.

Romney is an opportunist that will bend to whichever direction the pressure came from. After the Olympics he knew he needed elected office to run for President which has been his goal (daddy issues and envy). He sat down with advisors who told him to run for governor. He could have stayed in SLC and ran in Utah or even in MI and won. He instead went to MA where he thought running in a blue state would give him the most points appealing to moderates on both sides. He could hide behind the cover of Democrats forcing certain positions on him, etc. And he could walk away with a blue state victory in pocket.

The problem with this is that his actual positions in elected office have been moderate at best. Not to mention his past support of Left wing nutcases like Rocky Anderson in Utah. Yes, people can sing his praises on his private sector achievements but looking at his public sector involvement, he's bent to the Left, achieved very little in little time, and compromised on all sorts of issues. Add that to his repeatedly making statements like "for Pete's sake I'm running for President/office" the man is a joke. He bends under pressure and under fear of his own image. Pelosi and Reid would love going up against him with bills and resolutions. The Dems have a hold on PR and would force Mitt to bend on every issue. The fact that Tea Party and staunch conservatives loathe him, he'd have even less coming to his aid. He's done little to win over their support. He's ignored them for the most part. The few times he's given the Right the time of day it was cheap platitudes.

At least with McCain, he did take some bold stands and you knew what he stood for. Mitt's much weaker than McCain and by far a worse candidate. My thought is he will lose because he embodies everything Obama speaks on. If by some strange chance he wins, we're looking at a flat out spineless and weak President caving to pressure and causing even more gridlock.

Entirely too early. Polls had Perry, Pawlenty, Bachmann, Cain, Gingrich, Romney all on top of the GOP side at some point or another. Romney's on top because of all the attention he's getting. Once the debates start and the two sides start going at it, you'll see the numbers continually fluctuate. Add to the fact there is a lot of time for many news events to transpire.

I agree it is still early no doubt.
