WASHINGTON - It's over, and Mitt Romney is going to be the GOP nominee for president.
That's the growing consensus among Republican National Committee members who will automatically attend the party's national convention this summer and can support any candidate they choose.
Even some members who support other candidates begrudgingly say the math doesn't add up for anyone but the former Massachusetts governor.

(3,539 posts)Limbaugh, O'riley, Colter, who ever, tell them to rally behind. They will do so with the fever of the mindless.
I think its going to be a tough fight.

(23,372 posts)I'm sure that Limbaugh and Coulter are pretty secular, and O'Reilly too, actually. It's more important what their pastors will say, and that is determined through other channels. They will vote for Romney, but only "tactically," and not with vigor.

(3,539 posts)They may hate Romney but as they have been thought, he is not a Keynen, he is not a socialist. What may be even more important is that Romney is not one of the Bla... people.
If the "person of authority" says it should be, then it will be.
I try to keep an open mind but I tire of the far right, especially the religious right. I have to deal with one of them from time to time.
Believe me, it can wear you down.

(3,539 posts)just the right size and in the right places... It might make a fine speaker cabinet.
Can't say as much for Romney.
