Romney for President?

Posted by Aurelius @ 7:08 pm

Well, with Fred Thompson resigning from the race, I found myself groping around for a candidate to support.

John McCain is out.  For many reasons, not the least of which is that he is more of a Democrat than a Conservative, Republican, or Libertarian.

Likewise, Mike Huckabee is a liberal in conservative clothing.

I like Rudy Giuliani, but it just seems like he doesn’t want it enough.  This isn’t europe, and we don’t coronate a leader by virtue of his past service.

So, of the people left in the race on the Right, I find myself left with Mitt Romney.

What do I like about Mitt?  All of his stands today are pretty much my stands.

What DON’T I like about Mitt?  Many of his past stands are NOT his current stands.

Some people say that he has Grown In Office.  I consider it political opportunism at best; flip flopping at worst.

But he is running an over-all positive campaign; he is saying and running on the right things now; and he has the financial resources to stay in the race, despite the best (or worst) efforts of the Press, and their fellow travellers on the left.

I can, in good conscience, support Mitt. 

I cannot, in good conscience, support McCain or Hucakbee.

Should the eventual Republican Nominee be McCain or Huckabee, I will not support them, and will, in all likelyhood, vote for a third party, or write in candidate.
