Stark Contrast: Romney v. McCain
From my vantage point Mitt Romney had another strong debate performance but will it actually matter? Are conservative Republicans listening? Apparently not. I'm starting to worry about myself - much like Sean Hannity jokingly did today on the radio show. I've been a strong conservative Republican and am having a hard time understanding how John McCain can be the better choice for the GOP. When you see them side by side and listen to them discuss issues, it is so clear to me that Mitt Romney is the better candidate. McCain, despite his solid position on Iraq and terrorism, is so wrong on so many other issues - from immigration to campaign finance. He panders to liberals and delights in being the GOP media darling. Tonight he was somewhat arrogant and condescending, while Romney appeared much more presidential. I just don't understand many of my fellow Republicans and their embrace of McCain. WIth McCain leading the GOP, I will have a difficult decision come November.
