I was asked to cover the Mitt Romney Rally here at the Jemison Mansion in Tuscaloosa yesterday. Ive never been to ANY election ANYTHING ever, and as Ive been mentioning, it is only until recently that ever had any serious interest in politics. Congressman Robert Aderholt, among others gave a talk and his endorsement for Romney. Based on credentials and platforms, I like Romney. The stunt McAmnesty pulled last weekend ruined any respect I had for the guy. He seems dishonest and constantly gets his facts all messed up.
Huckabee is an interesting guy and I know he has a lot of support here in Alabama. I would rather see Huckabee win than McCain, though I dont agree with his Fair Tax proposal. At this point, Huckabee is splitting the conservative vote and his running alone will make it very very tough for Romney to win in the south. If Romney cant win in 08, I would like to see him run again in 2012.
Hillary and Obama, whoever wins, will give the Republican nomination a run for their money. I just dont see McCain as being the guy to beat either of them. If I absolutely had to choose between Obama or Hillary, I would probably side with Obama- tho of the three (including McCain) they each have platforms I totally disagree with. Obama seems to be the most honest.
Can someone please explain to me why any sane Republican would vote for McCain?
What’s more important, to vote for someone you agree more with but is a liar, or to vote someone you dont agree with, but is honest?
One thing is for sure, whomever is elected….look at all the issues they will have to deal with: the economy on the verge of recession, Iraq, immigration, health care. Hard to predict anything, but to be re-elected a second term they will have to perform flawlessly.
I have been wondering that myself-why McCain is getting so much support
I think someone’s pulling something somewhere when it comes to the polls…
I hate I missed the event, but glad you got to take part. I didn’t know there were that many Romney supporters in T-town. And glad you got to meet Aderholt. He is from my hometown and I like the guy. Honestly, I didn’t think he’d be a Romney fan, but turns out he’s even wiser than I thought.
Im beginning to think some Republicans like McCain because he is willing to play dirty- Im totally not impressed with his answers in the debates.
I supported Romney and was very disappointed when he dropped out. I would be considered a conservative Republican…maybe more so a Libertarian based on my beliefs of what made America great and what makes America great. At this point in time, it looks like Obama is the heir apparent to the Democrat Party and McCain is the Republican’s choice…that seems like an oxy moron to me….McCain Republican. I would not vote for Obama but after doing much research on his voting record and listening to him, he actually makes me fear losses of my liberty. I do not like John McCain…question posed, why would any Republican vote for McCain? I didn’t in the Primary, now he’s the only choice. I may doodle on my ballot this November. About Huckabee and the Fair Tax, I actually did a lot of research on that. It’s actually a good idea…not what the media made it out to be. Big surprise there, right.
