Of course he is not, he has switched positions during every race he has run. If he runs against the PREZ. HE WILL GO BACK TO THE CENTER

r.l schaefer is obviously ignorant about this great American religion. Do everyone a favor, r.l., be more informed before spouting anti-Mormon venum.

"Why Mitt Romney Can't Sell Himself to Conservatives"

Well Pete, we finally agree - but for different reasons.

Any follower of con man, Joe Smith, would be a hard sell to anyone with common sense.

Morons - nice people, who obviously don't think critically or with discernment.

Mr Romnye is the younger version of the oldschool deal-maker / rino-type republicans;....and so...

SHORT AND STARIGHT TO THE POINT;

If Sarah Palin reconsiders and decided to run for presidency, very rapidly a massive and powerful movement will be put at work coast-to-coast, nation-wide and the good governor will definitely will be a true reprentative president of the grass root real-core american public;....as for now nobody is out there representing the true and genuine interest for the good people of this great country....much less the current anti-constitutional and fraudulent admininstration is not in favour of the american fundamental values nor the american fundamental principles that gives structure to this great country of ours.

Input anyone? Opinions welcome.

Taking advice about conservatives from a progressive liberal like Peter Fenn is like taking medical advice from Dr. Kevorkian.

One has to question Fenn's motives. Why is a staunch, left extreme fringe, liberal extolling free political advice to conservatives.

The answer is simple, he like all the other progressives, know that if Romney gets the nomination, Obama will lose. Polls show that Romney is the only one who will beat Obama. He and all his cohorts in the liberal media are petrified with fear and piddle their pants at the thought of Romney getting the nomination.

Romney fails to make a personal connection with people so he is unlikely to ever become president. His flip flopping and Mormon faith are just grist for the pundit mill. His candidacy always only looked good on paper, and winning a single term as Mass governor was just a fluke.

He was also never really a salesman, never having created an actual product or service. His career was as a financial manipulator. Under the best of circumstances, the Bain Capital reign of terror would have been a hard sell, so he couldn't have picked a worse year to run on his resume.

As a lifelong Democrat, I couldn't be happier to see this happen to the Republicans. Go Obama!
