It looks like Oz beat me to it.

Sorry, Oz. I looked for a similar thread but appearently I didn't look hard enough.

That's what you do.

Romney
Maybe Rudy
NOT McCain or Huckabee

We have early voting in Illinois. After I heard the announcement I drove to my city hall and voted for Fred. I have no second choice.

Our best hope as a party is that none of these candidates earn a majority of the delegates and we have an open convention.

None of the remaining candidates should be the nominee.

Wow, what timing. I saw this just as I changed my sig to stump (***significantly*** less) for Mitt.

FredHeads: Now that Fred is done, let's give Mitt another look - though he has changed his standards, it is arguably a stand for the better.

Corrected. :)

Since it looks certain that Huck won't be around much longer (hooray!) I'll just vote for whoever is the most conservative candidate left in the race when Texas does its primary.

I still don't know how Romney was on crime during his tenure as governor in Mass because I haven't bothered to do any research as yet since I believed wholeheartedly that we'd have a President Fred.

My main issues are government spending, energy independence, the economy, defense and the war, and crime. I'll have to do some looking but at a superficial glance one of those two seem to be the choice for me.

Maybe Rudy, but while I'm not really a super-hardcore socon, there are too many people who are and those are the ones that actually carry out their threats to sit out elections. On the things I care about, gays and abortion don't even crack the top-10. I consider social things to be the icing on the cake, meaning you can pile all the icing you want on a turd but I'm still not going to eat it, while I'd eat a cake with not much icing at all. Anyhow, I don't think he'll be in the running by the time we get to Texas.

I guess that's maybe a long-winded way to say I don't know and don't want to think about it today and as long as it's not Huck I'll be happy.

One of the reasons that Fred got in electoral trouble was that many conservative rank and file did not believe that he was electable or viable (in your terminology). I kept seeing things like, "I agree with him, but I just don't think he could win the nomination." Well, not with supporters like that!

I don't agree with your choice, but doggoneit vote for the guy you agree with most!

We are going to "pragmatically" vote ourselves into oblivion.

I'm going to vote for Fred in the primary (write-in), lean toward Mitt getting to the general. I have the luxury of not voting until May, so mine will be a protest vote, anyway.
