Disappointed, to Say the Least

Mitt Romney, the candidate very few Republicans want, won by only 3 percentage points last night in Michigan, his home state and his wife's home state. That says that 59% of Republicans (and whomever else voted) did not vote for him. It's another 2008, where a Moderate Republican might squeak through the conservative lines and actually win the Republican nomination. Combine the percentage points of the other three conservative (mostly) candidates and those figures leave Romney in the dust. So where does that leave those of us who are diligently working to STOP OBAMA? It leaves us discouraged, to say the least.

We need a Bobby Jindal or a Chris Christie (who isn't really a conservative, but he's more likeable and more likely to run a tighter White House ship than Romney) or a Jeb Bush, although, really, I'm not sure Jeb could win against Obama. He is not his brother, but the Bush name is a tough brand to support. It's too late for Jim DeMint; we need a fighter who isn't afraid to say what needs to be said. And so far, the only candidate worth his salt was Rick Perry, and he's out. So where does that leave us? Discouraged, to say the least.

No matter who the Republican candidate is, I will vote for him. Even if it's Romney. I will grit my teeth, hold my nose, and pull the lever for him, because ANY REPUBLICAN is better than Obama. Let's see what happens on Super Tuesday. I would like to see Santorum straighten up his game, keep his mouth shut, and use some common sense on selecting what words he'll allow to escape his lips. He's our only hope, at this point.
