Romney Veep

[RIP Robert H Bork]

Mitt Romney will never win the Republican nomination.

[RIP Robert H Bork]

I never expected NiK was more of a Romney hack than NCYankee.

Romney isn't winning.  His favorables with Republicans aren't good enough.

McCain and Giuliani led the field last time. Romney is the only one running who appeals to the big ticket states, and the only one who can reasonably appeal to independents.

While I won't say that he won't win, barring scandal, he has his work cut out for him.

1. Pawlenty also appeals to swing voters and independents.

2. This Health Care thing may have destroyed Romney's chances. All the talk radio people have been saying that Browns victory was partly do to the unpopularity of that state's Health care plan. The best challenger to Patrick, Cahil, wants to dismantle it. And Cahil is so serious about winning he is running as a Fiscal Conservative and he picked a Republican member of the State House(who according to what I read is Pro-Life) as his running mate and Cahil was till just a few months ago a Democrat. The Republican candidate, Baker is to left of Cahil, and is trailing way back at third.

3. He can't appeal to the people who are enthusiastic right now. In 2000 the Christian Right was enthusiastic and Bush was the perfect candidate for them. Now its the limited Gov't, Tea Party crowd.

Things aren't looking to good for Romney.

Bingo. And as an addition to #3, the Christian Right is still important, and I am sure that they will vote against Romney. Romney is unpopular both with them and with the tea party crowd.

I was never a Romney hack. I supported John McCain from 2004ish to 2006(when the immigration issue became so big) Romney came out against Amnesty, and he had MA join that program to deputize the police force. Tancredo and Hunter were unelectable, Giuliani made NYC a Sanctuary City, McCain I had abandoned over this issue, Paul struck me as nuts, Huckabee was too much of a Compassionate Conservative to crack down on illegals(especially after giving them Instate Tuition and giving out all those pardons, I actually liked Huckabee till late 2007 and thought he would be a great V.P. for Romney in 2008). That left Romney.

Winfield and then Tmthforu94 were more Romney hacks then I am.

So you're a single issue voter.
