I’ve made some changes to fit us Romney supporters: Good evening. In less than a week, we along with others Super Tuesday voters will join together. And we will be voting in the most important election in the history of mankind. “Mankind.” That word should have new meaning for all of us on February fifth. Republicans we can’t be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it's fate that in less than a week it will be February fifth, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom... Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution... but from John McCain. We are fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win that day, the Fifth of February will no longer be known as Super Tuesday, but as the day the Republican Party declared in one voice: "We will not go quietly into the night!" We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate President Mitt Romney!

Why is that? Why has Fox News alienated a large portion of their viewing audience? Why haven't more conservatives come forward with endorsements? I think the party is moving center on immigration and global warming. This will co$t the middle class dearly. So, much for the American family. I wish evangelicals could see that Mitt Romney is our only hope to continue the conservative movement in America. They might be a little to late for the party. Why is that?

He says he can be a better leader than Mitt? What legislative greatness has he achieved to date? McCain-Feingold/Kennedy/Liberman. These bills must be explained agian and again so the casual voter understands. When contrasted to Mitt's record, it should be a landslide but we need a drum beat of the Romney Team/Supporters asking the right question---"What conservative ideas/issues/bills has McCain advanced in two+ decades in Washington"?

Mitt has made some brilliant points in speeches and debates that need more coverage. I don't know if you saw how CNN's political analyst blogged the debates but it seemed to be the first time he had considered Mitt's idea that we are facing a battle, not just over Iraq, but over vastly different political economic systems that are attempting global domination. Our liberties, our culture, and our families are at stake. In this climate we need someone with the capacity to play 3D chess and the flexibility and brilliance to fight, not the old wars of the past, but a new kind of war. McCain's and old warrior? So What? The new war is not just a war in Iraq and it will be won on many fronts -- the military front is only part of that. People need to catch the vision that the emphasis on the economy is not just about our paychecks. The economy powers our militiary and it powers our ability to retain our liberty. I think this is a hugely important point that really undermines what McCain sees as his own strength, and addresses the fears that have some Americans flocking to his camp. His weaknesses are astounding, but even his "strength" is practically already outdated and much too narrow to serve us in the future. I wish Mitt would flesh out his multilateral approach to global jihad and show how narrow McCain's vision really is! GO MITT!!! Mike,

This would bring attention to the fact that McCain is a liberal and the media may pick it up. The question is would this hurt Governor Mitt Romney?

Because Crist endorsement got voters excited and confidence and not much time to reflects on those candidates. My guess is there are many voters in Florida regrets that they voted for Mac today.
