Is Romney Out / What's Left
by jwoike@hotmail.com

Howdy,

I think all of the opinions that I've read are pretty dead on. Romney has been screwed by McCain and even people in his own party. I think it's amazing that many people feel this way and they are not even Mormon or huge Romney backers.

I am not a "party voter". I believe in voting for who's best for the country - overall. I get pretty frustrated when people vote for a canidate based soley on abortion rights or Medicare. We have to look at what's best overall.

I do not think that Romney is out yet. I did think that he was going to pull out some upsets in a few states like California for example. I guess we have to wait and see for the upcoming states.

I do have a few questions about McCain like, why do people keep backing him when they know that he blatantly lied? Also, am I the only one that thinks it possible that he is playing the liberal conservative or the middle of the road guy just so that he can get a vote? And maybe he'll change back to a conservative when he gets into office? The last question, think back to how long he has been a liberal conservative... Maybe this was a carefully laid out plan all along. How long ago did he come up with his views on the border and then a he finally announced he would run for President.

That's something for all of us to think about.

I am not a Mormon. I am actually from liberal Connecticut. And everyone in my family who is normally liberal all said they liked Romney...

PS - If McCain is the Republican canidate I may actually vote for Hillary! Apart from the Clintons and their goofy politics no one can argue that the economy wasn't great during that era.

Not a good analogy; easy Al (Greenspan) played a large part in setting up our financial system for both the dot com bust and the housing bubble. In essence, he played for the short term gains at the cost of eventual future losses.

I'm not saying you can't give credit to Clinton for economic prosperity, but you need to tie it to specific policy decisions for it to be valid.
