He is an honorable man, and he wouldn't sign a pledge and then break it, it's not the kind of politician he is. I have concerns about Mike as well, mostly his inexperience in foreign affairs and national security, but I had those about W too, then he added Cheney as his VP and shored up his weakness. Mike would need to surround himself with good people, which to me is the mark of a good leader. He has some powerful allies that will now enter the fray, with him going against Mc head to head. Ross Perot for one, with his considerable resources and contacts...he <em>loathes</em> Mc.

Mit dropped out today much to my serious depression. Yes I hear you N2L, Mike sounds like a good man...I do like the guy, but what worries me is he seems very touchy feely with a big soft heart that would take in all the poor people of the world because it is the christian thing to do...WAIT, before you pound on me, I too beleive in God and am very pleased to see someone running who admits this. BUT we are talking about a closed border and cutting off all benefits to illegals so they self deport. I just don't see Mike having that hard of a heart.! And to be honest that is what it will take, a real hard ass with an iron stomach that can stand some serious heat from the hang wringing liberals who will come down on him like a bomb. Mike just seems too nice for such a hardcore fight. But I could be wrong, he could be a wolf in sheeps clothing. I know about all his statements and people who support him, and that's great. AND after today with Mit giving up, I will look at Mike because I CAN NOT vote for Mccain. I just can not vote for the man who authored the amnesty bill with kennedy...that would go against EVERYTHING I rant about everyday. So it will be Mike or third party for me....period.

If it really works, then it could've saved thousands of Americans and Iraqis killed by Saddam loyalists and Sunni militias in the years since his capture. Heckuva job! “…waterboarding works…”

I answered their questions and stood by Romney. End of poll call. Saturday I'll be at the Kansas caucus as a Romney volunteer. The map was interesting, No2. It's pretty clear to me that where Romney picked up the vote, illegal immigration is a problem.
