Default win d's endorsement

People have been asking for it..so as promised...I believe all of you out there should pull the lever for Mitt Romney imo

Like Coach from Survivor, I prayed on this decision for hours.

I like Newt and think that the smartest guy in the room has some great ideas. Hopefully Romney can harness some of that somewhere in his administration.

Ron Paul. Nope, can't do it. Pretending like the rest of the world does not exist is not a foreign policy imo

Go Mitt Go!

Interesting. Were'n't you for Newt just a bit ago? What made you settle on Romney?

FWIW, its close, but I agree with you. If Romney hadn't done so damn well in the debates, I'd be for Newt.

Romney has the best chance to beat Obama.

It's close. I like Newt's ideas on energy and foreign policy.

But Romney performed well last night and is who I would feel best going head to head vs Obama.

Obama has a billion dollars and no record he can run on. Therefore all of his money will be spent going negative. Romney has less negatives than Newt imo.

Obama can spend a billion dollars trying to say Romney is a flip flopper and that he has the same bad ideas as he did on the health care mandate. Fine, let him do that imo

Name all the other countries that have military bases here. Do all the countries not on that list pretend the rest of the world does not exist?

I'd expect you to understand the difference between interventionist and isolationist but maybe not.

Paul has said that he will not stop Iran from getting a bomb. He just wishes they wouldn't.
That sounds like an isolationist.

Listen, I like Paul. If it was 1611, I would vote for him. But not in 2011 imo

If Paul doesn't win the nomination, I hope he runs as a 3rd party candidate. I will vote for him either way. If he doesn't run, I won't vote at all. I'd rather have four more years of Obama, and have a have a good candidate in 2016 than settle for an Obama clone like Romney.

In 1611 Paul would not have stopped Iran from getting the catapult.
