Something with little more original name calling.

People at the extreme ends of the political spectrum wouldn't recognize an original idea if it was hurled at their face with a brick attached to it.

I didn't think Romney would stand a chance before, but I now see it as possible.

All the strong abortion talk is just to secure the fundy base, but it is scary that Ryan believes a raped woman should be forced to carry it.

Either way, both are party puppets.

My governor was the keynote speaker.

He is facing criticism here for not making it enough about Romney. But Romney has no real platform, so it is kinda hard to talk about him.

We all know keynote speakers are next in line, in the circumstance Willard loses.

I wish Chris Christie was running and not Mitt. I would vote for him in a heartbeat, he does not turn back on his word, and has fulfilled his campaign promises to the NJ taxpayers. He reduced government bloat, and made attempts to reduce the crippling property tax burden NJ has (highest in the nation) Stern but fair. And more centrist than most Republicans nowadays.

Christie in 2016

I guess time will tell, but so far I haven't seen anything from Romney that would inspire people to vote for him rather than Obama. I'd have to agree with August here, the Republicans have scuttled their boat this time around.

Better luck in 2016.

I would have to third this. But is is not Romneys fault.

It is the republican partys fault.

They allowed extremists to take over. Us libs love to trash Bush jr. But I would take him over any of these fundy-Christian-Sharia candidates who have popped up (Bachmann, Santorum, Palin)

I give Romney credit as he was smart enough to say much of nothing all this time and still win his primary, but that is because his competition (Texas Gov Perry the exception) were all bat-stuff insane.

I am disgusted by Obamas lack of action. His passive nature. But that is what he is.

I do not know what Romney is. That scares me more.

Vote Christie in 2016
