I’m Switching To Romney

Here is a highligh from a post at Louisiana Conservative I found rather encouraging.

I'm saying that our party victor is Mitt Romney, and it’s time for conservatives to rally around Mitt Romney before we surrender all control of the party to John McCain. McCain has been a man who has time and time been unpredictable through his “straight talk” because he has no center convictions, unless you believe that believing in building on a political career as a core conviction, that is.

I’m not encouraging anybody to switch to Huckabee or Paul so late in the game, I did what I could to get you guys to support Paul. But now we are faced with a much greater challenge, either hold on to all of our core values so staunchly that we end up losing the battle on several, perhaps nearly all, key fronts, or get behind one candidate and preserve our values within the party so that we can come back and fight another day.

I’m asking you, my fellow conservatives that support Mike Huckabee, to break away and vote for Mitt Romney. Romney is flawed in many ways, to say the least, but judging on how dependable John McCain was throughout the Bush administration, I’d say he’s broken. Would you rather have a flawed candidate now? Or would you rather have a candidate that’s broken, garnering support only because he finds himself in a position that we all thought Rudy Giuliani was in 8 months ago. That is to say, 8 months ago, we all thought Giuliani was our best hope at beating Hillary Clinton, now we all say McCain is the guy. [read more]
