Again, I get Republicans voting Anybody but Obama, but not how anyone can be comfortable w/ Romney. Joel Send a noteboard - 14/03/2012 04:06:14 PM
In comparison, even a "meh" type of alternative looks attractive.

For all the Hell raising, it is hard to imagine how Republicans could have gotten more from Bushs successor; the tax cuts and corporate subsidies keep on a-comin'. All Romney offers is the real possibility he may flip flop yet again once elected and balance the budget with tax hikes like he did in MA, while allowing the health care law he wrote to remain (in fact, both of those seem pretty likely.) Since we really do not know WTF Romney will do, because he has pledged himself to the most radical ranks on both sides at various times, I still do not undertand how anyone could be truly "comfortable" with him. Again, voting against Obama is not the same as voting for Romney (though it may well prove enough for the latters victory, even if the 2012 economy bears a striking resemblance to the 2004 economy.)

can *any* republican pose a challenge to obama in november? - 14/03/2012 04:06:59 AM 1484 Views
Yes, absolutely..... - 14/03/2012 04:12:30 AM 948 Views
"anybody but obama" is not a winning strategy - 14/03/2012 02:28:23 PM 906 Views
It can definitely work.....don't compare 2012 to 2004. - 14/03/2012 02:44:39 PM 778 Views
this is why it will be 2004 all over again if romney is nominated - 16/03/2012 02:22:26 PM 843 Views
It sure as Hell is, as long as the candidate is moderate - 14/03/2012 03:04:10 PM 1043 Views
Did you vote for Obama in 2008? - 14/03/2012 03:47:55 PM 769 Views
Yes I did. If Romney is the candidate, I will vote Romney this year. *NM* - 14/03/2012 08:39:41 PM 474 Views
Second me on that. *NM* - 15/03/2012 09:25:39 PM 405 Views
Strongly qualifying your statement really weakens the "anyone". *NM* - 14/03/2012 10:14:45 PM 483 Views
The statement "anyone but Obama" can be a rallying cry, but only for the right candidates. - 16/03/2012 01:47:48 AM 949 Views
somehow i don't see romney having much credibility versus obama - 16/03/2012 02:16:32 PM 846 Views
Spoken like a true Obama partisan - 16/03/2012 04:18:21 PM 822 Views
It's actually not about credibility. - 16/03/2012 09:57:41 PM 884 Views

I love that "Gas Costs More!" is the current rallying cry. - 14/03/2012 10:13:04 PM 846 Views
Sure, if Israel hits Iran and Obama looks weak. - 14/03/2012 04:56:23 AM 964 Views
i think iran/israel is probably the biggest issue at the moment - 14/03/2012 02:25:29 PM 939 Views
I would put serious money on an Israeli attack before the election. - 14/03/2012 02:56:55 PM 956 Views

Yes, Romney. - 14/03/2012 10:59:26 AM 953 Views
I know that I would consider voting for Romney - 14/03/2012 01:05:47 PM 913 Views
If you will pardon an impertinent question: Why? - 14/03/2012 03:26:01 PM 890 Views
Because Obama is a complete and utter failure..... - 14/03/2012 03:44:14 PM 833 Views

The answer to the question is yes. *NM* - 14/03/2012 02:24:51 PM 565 Views
I was thinking no, and here's my rationale: - 14/03/2012 03:41:21 PM 865 Views
Romney doesn't have to "steal" people away..... - 14/03/2012 03:48:00 PM 860 Views
Isn't that a pretty tenuous strategy? - 14/03/2012 04:49:42 PM 935 Views
Much as it pains me to agree with trzaska, he is absolutely right in this case. - 14/03/2012 04:21:43 PM 1078 Views
