Romney rallies Republicans

How lame.....

You could tell that the crowd wasn't really into Romney... All of these southern baptist republicans will never embrace a Mormon.

Teach the "christian" south a lesson. Vote Ron Paul or Obama so that they will learn to respect LDS repubicans.

It is the same old story. Mitt's talk was ok but I have never heard McCain say anything like that all I hear him say is to fight with Borak and say what borak will do. They need to just be honest thet think we are all stupit. McCain lost our vote by not picking Mitt for vis pres.

Unfortunately Mitt, John spurned you. You are so much better than Palin.

I choose to vote for Obama, having watched for the past two days the absolute joke that the gop has become.

Count me as one gop member who is disgusted that Palin was chosen: she is not ready for prime time.
I vote for my nation: i must switch to demos.

Just once I would like to hear the gop tell me how they stand on the issues: you know, war, peace, my son going to war in Pakistan, any of the stans... you know, wages, medical care, govt. intrusions into our lives, etc.

attack Obama, attack Obama, attack Obama... is this theparty of negativeness or what!!!!!!

Please tell me the issues and where the gop is on those issues!!

Obama has told the nation about where he stands. Why can't my party do the same????????

I am going to switch tomorrow morning down at the court house. I have had it with this negativness.

Didn't get a chance to see or hear the speech yet, but will on the re-play. Sounds like Mitt Romney
showed Good Sportsmanship by throwing his support
to the chosen candidate. Many times things don't work out as one wishes, especially in a very very competitive setting. Part of life is dealing with those "losses". To approach them as learning experiences and by showing Maturity and Good Manners
and Grace is really the only proper thing to do.

Yes you and your democratic, liberal, no experience, proud for the first time to be americans party, are lame!

That speach was the greatest speech I have heard in 20 years of politics!

Mitt should be our President of the USA!

how come he can't figure out that they may want his money and support ONLY if he promises not to run.

Romney rallies Republicans to vote for two nominees who are mavericks against the Republican party.

Why couldn't they have put at least one "true" Republican on the ticket?

Also ran: Mitt Romney

I saw some of the speech. I'm looking forward to, as mitt says, throwing out liberal washington in favour of a conservative one. I can't wait to see what that means, in terms of the last 8 years. Lower spending. Maybe. No foreign entanglements that are not necessary. And, the state has, insofar as is absolutely possible, no business in the lives of individuals. Including whom they marry. What they drink. Religion is out of the public arena. With apologies to Shakespeare, "out, damned government!!" Yes, I do look forward to a return to a conservative Washington. However, since this is not at all the republican platform, I shall vote for Obama.

Seems like all of the Republicans want to "shake up Washington"...get rid of corruption (Republicans seem to have a strong lead in the current jailbird competition) , get rid of the big spenders (Iraq War), advocate for special needs children (a new one for the conservatives), support the maverick (I can think of only one person running for president who voted against the war), fight against the "do nothing Congress" (wonder who's been there for the last 20 years?).

This so-called maverick mentality is laughable, given that the Republicans have controlled the executive branch for the last eight years.

I say they've had their chance. Time for actual change.

Voting for Obama because McCain didn't pick Mitt is absolutely ridiculous. If you truly believe in the values and principles that Mitt stands for, then you are throwing your vote away by voting for Obama. By putting a Democrat in the White House, this country will be set up for the left-wing liberals to push their agenda. Obama has indicated that he will nominate liberal supreme court judges and we know that the Democrats will retain the majority in the Congress. So if you truly believe in the conservative principles that Mitt stood for, it makes absolutely no sense to vote Obama for president.

Just another democrat trying to sway the republican readers how easy it is to switch to the other side...sorry not going to work. If it were that easy to jump on the Obama express we would be a sorry nation indeed. If a vote for your nation is a vote for Obama, your nation is France, not the United States of America.

There is no place for socialism and infanticide in our nation.

Jerry,

It is "stupid" not stupit. As to the rest of the liberals - Why does it seem that most liberal bloggers attack the Republicians based on their personal family issues or resort to base name calling instead of debating on the merits of the issues with intelligent arguement. I guess it is because they are STUPIT.

Romney shows alot of character by the way that he has stood behind McCain and Palin. I'd like to thank him for all of his efforts and loyalty. He has done alot of good for the country.

It is amusing in a dark sort of way to see former governors Romney and Huckabee and former mayor Guliani all tout the inexperience of Palin as if it were the greatest thing for Republican politics since soft money. All of them have three times the executive experience of Palin. Guliani's family is three times more dysfunctional, which means it would be three times more entertaining.

How does a person offer an opinion on this comment page without being rejected by the editorial police?

Hey Jerry - Brilliant -
"It is the same old story. Mitt's talk was ok but I have never heard McCain say anything like that[.] [A]all I hear him say is to fight with Borak [Barack} and say what borak [Barack] will do. They need to just be honest[.] [T]thet [They] think we are all stupit. [stupid - wonder why they think that]. McCain lost our vote by not picking Mitt for vis [vice] pres."
Mitt will be back.

I guess you weren't paying attention.
