Impression.

We'll see.  But don't underestimate the disdain a lot of them have for the guy he'll be facing in the general election.  Sometimes that can make up for a lack of enthusiasm for your 'own' guy.

I sort of think the entire "Anybody but Romney" bit in the primaries has pretty much made that case for me.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

That'll morph into anybody but Obama soon enough.

He needs somebody that will make the pastors in the many evangelical mega churches want to encourage their flock to vote.
Isn't that "somebody" Obama? Seems to me like he's going to need someone with some foreign policy cred.

The impression that I'm getting is that conservative christians would rather not vote than vote for a heathen like Romney.
I respectfully disagree.  As soon as Romney trots out the I want to protect unborn babies bullshit, they're in the bag for him

Well, we'll see on election day when exit polls look at evangelical turnout.

As the tea party evangelical chick says in BBC's This World documentary "The Mormon Candidate" said, "if it is between Obama and Romen I wouldn't vote". I don't think the evangelicals will vote Obama, they'll just decline to vote.

I'm sure a documentary titled "The Mormon Candidate" would play up that angle.  Who is the "tea party evangelical" chick?  And you know that "tea party" and "evangelical" aren't necessarily tied together, right?

Well in my book he is not Conservative at all, at least not in the good ways.  The guy has never found a spending bill he didn't like and the only ways he is right wing is in the way he wants laws passed to regulate people's behavior.  So basically the guy is big brother personified. 

Pretty much agree.  He's socially conservative for sure, but that's not the kind of conservative we need right now.

Somewhat serious question: Is there any othet kind around now?

Santorum isn't going to withdraw from the race.  I don't think Gingrich and Paul will either.  They're in it to the bitter, crazy end.

Well Paul is not in the race to win but to draw attention to his political message.  Not sure what the other two are doing.

The funny part about it is that the very same people who sue to prove the gubmint can 'regulate inactivity" and force someone to buy insurance whether they want it or not argue that the gubmint can, indeed, "regulate inactivity" and force other people to get an ultrasound whether they want it or not.

Not all of them.

I was speaking about Virginia (and specifically our insufferable Attorney General), but didn't make that clear.

Guy by the name of Ron Paul.  Mitch Daniels.  Others.  Not many ran this year.  They don't excite the zealots and don't get the zealot money.

I wish Mitch had thrown his hat in.  But his wife apparently didn't want him to, plus I guess he lacks a proper presidential head of hair :(

Oh, and Paul is not without his zealots (and their money), unless you're talking about religious zealots.
