And I'm one of them.This Gallup study serves as a nice segway into what my readers have known for a few weeks now: I support Mitt Romney as the 2012 GOP presidential nominee.
As many/most of you will remember, I supported Romney for the nod in 2008 and am happy to do so again this go-around.
No candidate is without "flaw", but I believe Romney is not only best suited among the pack to handle the economic crisis in which this country currently resides, but is also the most electable.
And I'm not even close to being alone in this line of thinking.
Mitt Romney is the now the only candidate that a majority of conservative and moderate/liberal Republicans nationwide see as an "acceptable" GOP nominee for president. Conservative Republicans are more likely to say Romney would be an acceptable nominee than either Newt Gingrich or Rick Santorum.
...
Fifty-nine percent of all Republicans nationwide perceive that Romney is an acceptable GOP nominee for president, the only candidate with majority support on this measure. Slightly less than half say Gingrich (46%) or Santorum (45%) would be acceptable, while a majority of Republicans say that the three remaining candidates -- Perry, Paul, and Huntsman -- would be unacceptable as their party's nominee.
It's time to rally the troops.

Exactly HOW do they get that the polling group is "conservative republicans" when it includes moderate/liberal republicans? That's rather misleading. Of course moderates/liberals would love Romney. He's a RINO. True conservatives need to stop being swayed by the polls and vote their values. This same thing happened in 2008 and we ended up with a RINO getting the nomination because the polls and the media convinced everyone that he was the only "electable" candidate. Well, we all see where THAT got us and Mr. Electable got us a Marxist who's driving the country off a cliff.
I never trust polls. I think they're usually rigged to elicit the outcome the pollster desires. Frank Luntz might be the exception.
While I agree with you 99% of the time CM, we part company here. Romney won't be getting my vote unless or until he gets the nomination and I have no other choice. Sorry.
I think you hit the nail on the head. It seems as though the second string is running on the Republican side, and each has flaws. I'm planning to cast my vote for Romney, for he seems to be the most conservative that is most electable.
