Mitt Romney weathered the McCain serge last year, he weathered the Giuliani surge earlier this year, he weathered the Thompson serge this past summer, and he has weathered the short-lived Huckabee serge that is quickly fading into a puff a smoke. This should be no surprise given the mighty challenges that Mitt Romney has weathered in the past, including the Olympics and the Massachusetts budget crisis. I'm voting for Mitt Romney on February 5th because he weathers the storm when others get swept out to sea.

Mitt is clearly the most conservative candidate who can also beat Hillary. I hope some of those misguided Huckabee supporters will read the entire endorsment posted by National Review and change their minds.

Mitt is the best candidate in the field!! This is why the DNC attacks him the most!!

[DNC Press Release Attack Summary:

Governor Mitt Romney (R-MA) – 37% (99 press releases)
Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R-NY) – 28% (74)
Senator John McCain (R-AZ) – 24% (64)
Senator Fred Thompson (R-TN) – 8% (20)
Governor Mike Huckabee – 2% (4)]

The G.O.P. can't afford to nominate the aww shucks I'm just a goober candidate in a change election.

I was very impressed with the magazine's statement. They have been consistantly accurate in the past and have no reason to doubt them this time. Mitt Romney appears to be without question what the USA could most greatly benefit from in 2008.

This is ridiculous; Mitt Romney is not conservative across the board (i.e., full spectrum).

As a side note, I hope First Read will find this comment sufficiently polarizing to post. I think I made some salient and potentially embarassing points yesterday that necessitated censorship.

Mitt is a flip-flopper with no backbone that will saying almost anything to get votes. Only Giuliani and Huckabee are worse when it comes to pandering.

I think it's worth mentioning that his biggest campaign donor is himself. He can't drum up enough interest to get people to support him, so he has to loan his own campaign millions of dollars.

Check romneyfacts.com to get a small sampling of some of his conflicting statements.

Davis posted this a moment ago on here:
"Down home republicans will never vote for a Mormon, unless they are voting against Guliani."

The fact that the moderator of this blog allowed this post shows that they want Christians to look bad. We are on to you media. We know you are trying to make battles where there really are none in order to advance your agenda. I am a Christian and would have no problem voting for Romney if Romney was more consistent in his conservative record.

Matt Shirley, Pearl Harbor, HI — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 23:13:10 GMT

Am I the only one detecting a Monty Pythonesque theater of the absurd in the recent endorsements? The National Review says Romney is the best candidate for "moral causes such as..." (I guess he was for them before he was against them, or vice-verse, or whatever the phrase is in MA). Random question from the peanut gallery: how come adherence to the Geneva Conventions and a 200+ history of not using tortured confessions is not a "moral cause"? But, I digress...

The Minutemen, a single issue group focused on curbing immigration, er...illegal immigration, endorse Huckabee, a guy who's favored subsidies to illegal immigrants. Finally the Theater Workers' Union comes out in favor of Clinton because she will do the best helping working Americans deal with "real issues" (the Theater Workers, boy there's a group that's devoted their professional lives to getting into the trenches with working people, and solving their "real problems." Lemme see, would that involve rescuing Esmerelda from an evil cleric, or helping a Vietnamese concubine get over being jilted by her American lover? (Jimmenee, the jokes just write themselves.)

I must have missed something. When did the preliminaries of the Presidential race turn into a multi-State improvisational comedy routine?

I am a christian and intend to vote for Romney. I would support Thompson, also. Huckabee is too soft on illegals. His statement regarding tuition for illegals, "We shouldn't make children pay for their parents mistakes" is absurd. If I (as an American citizen), commit identity theft, welfare fraud, etc., my butt would be in jail. Think Huckabee would offer my children tuition breaks because their parents are lawbreakers?

Of course, don't expect MSNBC to report much on this, they're focusing on the horse race, not the facts.

I hope that "down home republicans" would read Mitt Romney's book, "Turnaround". If they could see how Mitt and his team, led a huge enterprise like the 2002 Salt Lake Olympics to such a great success, they would understand why he is best qualified to be President of the United States.

I want my President to say things I agree with, but be 10 times as smart as me! The ONLY guy on either side that fits that profile is Romney. He's got my vote.

So they endorse the most conservative candidate NOT the most qualified! That alone makes their endorsement worth "a pitcher of warm piss." Mitt Romney will NOT be your next President. Most evangelical republicans will stay home if he is the nominee as will most southern and/or "old fashioned" Democrats stay home if Obama is the nominee

Why is Romney getting a free pass from the media concerning his association with Mel Sembler. Sembler started a chain ov 'treatment centers' that were finally shut down due to severe abuse of the children in these centers. A google search of 'Mel Sembler' will reveal astounding crimes that were never prosecuted due to Sembler's gop connections. Romney is more of the same old gop hypocrisy.

Mitt Romney will win the nomination and then, win the Presidency. Mormons are Christians. The proper name of the church is: THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER DAY SAINTS. Enough of the religous bigotry. Romney is the right man for the job at the right time in history. He is decent, honorable, fiscally conservative, morally straight, a great family man, a great business man, and the perfect candidate. It must be jealousy, all this ranting against him.

Phil Edwards, Aberdeen, NC — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 21:44:21 GMT

Did I read that right, "Down home Republicans will never vote for a Mormon...."? I am a Christian and as down-home-Republican as a person can GET and I intend to vote for Mitt Romney. I like his positions and values. He demonstrates in his life (married to the same woman for 37 years and a devoted Father) the family values that "down home Republicans" used to stand for. Perhaps the down home Americans will vote for him then. He is what we need, now. He is the one the Democrats fear the most as is evidenced by their attacks on him. I for one, as a Federal employee, refuse to even consider the possibility that Hillary Clinton will ever be my Commander-in-Chief. After 8 deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan in the last four years, I can attest to the fact that our soldiers feel the same way. Romney is a good man and the best man for the job of President at this time.

For all of those who disagree with our being in Iraq and Afghanistan, I want to quote the first and only bumper sticker I have ever put on my car, "For those of you who refuse to stand behind our troops, by all means, feel free to stand in front of them".

'Nuff said.

The association between Romney and the child torturing pervert Mel Sembler gives an indication of Romney's true 'moral values'. An endorsement by the wacky National Review is reason enough not to vote for this 'man'.
