You may not have any brains, but I'll compliment your balls.
that's funny right there well its cold and snowing here and what better than stir the chit a little to spice things up. You'll find that an honest yellow-dog Democrat gets a lot more respect around here than some of these liberal-ass "Republican" snakes do.
The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.

This is a good thing. We need new and Conservative blood. Can you say Scott Walker? Yep, good news. It's far better for us conservatives to run someone who doesn't have a track record of success in business (Bain Capital), a history of scrupulous honesty (Bain compliance record, SLC Olympic LDS corruption prosecution)and, success in taking large international projects that are failing and turning a profit (SLC Olympics), working in government from the standpoint of being in the minority (Mass Gov) and still succeeding in getting legislature, or perhaps even more important keeping extreme liberal legislation from being passed, and instead choosing inexperience young ideologues who have ever only ever worked in government. Say, like the current POS in the Exec office. The conservatives have my vote regardless but there is large gap between getting elected and being able to execute at the national and international level. I don't blame Romney for not running and while I don't agree with him on some issue, and he's not the most exciting guy, but he would be the most qualified presidential candidate in along time. Alas, we'll run someone who has been a government wonk their whole lives who gives a flashy speech full if hyperbole instead. Sad what we've become.

DumbAss Don (Savage_99) is upset that Romney isn't running.
That tells me all I need to know to know that Romney being out is a good thing.

Maybe if he had said that instead of promising "RomneyCare" for the entire country (in his book) and 47% of the country doesn't matter to him he would have done better.

Gov John Kasich of Ohio, while under the radar, might have room to emerge into the top 25 now?
he's done a lot for jobs in an industrial state in the heartland.
plenty of good candidates left without Romney.

The only thing worse than Romney would be Bush for conservatives.

OK. This news now leaves 2, maybe 3, candidates who could possibly finance the national ground game and garner the over 55 million votes it will take to win the 2016 election.

That's impossible. Until that happens it doesn't matter who the candidate is. I want a candidate that is reasonably conservative (the more the better), could win an election, and could effectively run a government and be a leader in challenging times. Ultimately it will come down to two to choose from and I will pick the one who is the better of the two. It's highly likely I won't be completely happy, but it has to be better than what we have.

So what math does one use to find an alternative end to this equation? 47% don't contribute + nationalized healthcare = punish contributors & reward dead weight ?? Those indisputable truths make it tough to consider any other "attributes" redeeming. On the other hand, we'll now run a guy whose truth embraces illegals and likely insists they benefit from the nationalized system neither side has any intention of reversing. The important thing is that we make sure Republicans know that no matter how socialistic they become, we'll support them wholeheartedly because they're not communists like the Dems. That's sure to garner change in the RIGHT direction  .

You voted for a man who only garnered 500,000 votes.
Do you really feel comfortable arguing the math?

Do you really feel comfortable arguing the math? And you poured how much money into one that lost in a landslide. How comfortable is your math?

Well said! I, too, want a candidate that generally meets those and I can accept not being "completely happy". My concern is that we have a PROCESS that has resulted in McCain and Romney. There was a problem here and I don't know if its been solved!!!
