From MartiniMan:  “And folks don't understand conservative reluctance with Romney........we fear he is just another John McCain. At this point I wish Newt and Ron Paul would drop out. They will not get the nomination and all they are doing is preventing Republicans from having a clear choice. I suspect if they did Santorum would win the nomination.”

My number one priority is to elect someone who has not been injected with the “Beltway Drug.”

You’ve heard the phrase “It’s the Economy, Stupid.”  In my opinion, that is the “elephant in the room.”  Abortion… contraception… are all SOCIAL conservative issues.  If you are a “social conservative” ahead of being a “fiscal conservative”… you are letting emotion dominate your vote.

I would rather have the former CEO of Bain Capital as my president… than anyone from inside the beltway. (Yes, Santorum meets my “social” conservative needs… but, he is NOT what my country and I need most. I actually like Santorum better than Romney.) 

Romney’s history is converting successful operations out of failing operations. 

I am hoping he will be a Reaganesque president… surround himself with good advisors and consider their good advice.
