No you don’t. Romney doesn not have the support of conservative America. Without it he can not beat Obama.

That’s where my vote is going.

So, the unknown, Constitution Party candidate does have the support of conservative America and can beat Obama? :confused:

Watch out! That army of windmills is fast approaching!

This will assure on Obama victory in November. Third parties will not work in a constitutional replublic; they only work in parliamentary systems where coalitions can be formed.

Furthermore, Santorum fails to understand the role of religion in a pluralistic society. And he has an almost prurient interest in the private lives of others. In his own words, “This whole idea of personal autonomy, well I don’t think most conservatives hold that point of view.”

This is what turns me off about the man. Honestly, I find him to be a bit creepy.
Despite their tired rhetoric to the contrary, Republicans are as wildly in favor of big government as their Democratic colleagues – they only differ by the programs and bureaucracies they wish to grow the fastest.

Sadly, this is very true.
 
Terrific News! Romney can now focus on defeating obama and his programs of death.

Not sure who the VP will be, I sorta like, Romney - Petraeus or how about Romney - Ryan!

I’m not so certain. I think most voters can do basic math.

Obama is vulnerable, but it will take a good campaign for the Republican candidate to beat him. He needs to articulate the difference between individual freedom and human dignity versus the utopianism of the Left.
 
Glad Santorum is out. He is a retrogressive and would have lost easily. Romney has a chance to defeat Obama, though that depends a lot - of course - on what happens between now and November. Many Evangelicals may sit on their hands because of Romney’s Mormonism.
My question: will the sharp partisan attacks of the Bishops on Obama chase more Catholic Democrats out of the Church? I wonder.

Perhaps the question should be: will Obama’s assault on religious conscience chase more Catholic Democrats (and others of conscience) out of the Democratic party?

Romney will have the support of conservatives. This was a primary process, and it is often harsh. Look at 2008 during which Clinton and Obama went at each other, then Obama selected Clinton to SoS. It is politics.

Conservatives realize that winning in November is far more important than anything they might hold against Romney.

I believe conservatives and evangelicals will think: “anyone, but Obama.”

Yeah, but most evangelicals are conservatives so you’re talking about one group, basically. The trick is to get the mainline Republicans and Independents to vote for him.

At least, he has a fighting chance. Obama would have eaten Santorum and Gingrich alive.

Not if they give you a Write-In option. And not voting is a vote too.

But the thing that scares me the most is if either Romney or Obama were to get a political mandate (more than 50%), which is almost certain in a 2-person race.

Do you mean will Catholic Democrats choose their party over their faith? It’s an interesting question. Sad, but interesting.

Sorry, but the numbers tell me that third party candidates will take votes away from the underdog, thus assuring an Obama win. Afterall, if they are third party voters, they won’t vote for Obama anyway – but voting for an obscure third party candidate gives Obama the win and throws away your vote. Obama is not vulnerable ENOUGH.

He has the women and he has the unions. Obama does not have conservatives (where the GOP money is with the religious right who also have problems with Romney) and he does not have the independants. If they split the vote among third party candidates, we have 4 more years and who knows what will happen with 4 more years of this.

As I said, these third parties can only work in a parliamentary system.

Sorry, but I think you misunderstood my post. When I said that “most voters can do basic math,” I was saying that I don’t think third parties will garner many votes. I believe that Romney will gain support from conservatives as the general election progresses.

We are in agreement regarding the effect of third parties. As a former Perot voter, I learned my mathematical lesson. I believe most American conservatives learned the same. In my defense, I was in transition from Agnostic, Pro-Choice Democrat to Catholic, Pro-Life Republican. At the time, I considered myself a socially liberal, fiscally conservative independent. :o
