Having said that, if he's the GOP nominee, I'll vote for him. My thought process will likely be very much the same as I had for the 2008 election. I voted for Obama as the "lesser of two evils". Did I think he really represented "hope and change"? No. But after McCain sold out to the far right and his handlers, and even though he was a multiple incident cancer survivor picked an unqualified person as his VP running mate, he lost me. My thought at the time--and I said it here several times--was if Obama doesn't work out, I simply won't vote for him again.
The President isn't as bad as many here would have him, but still not a good enough leader for a country that desperately needs leadership. He's been hampered by a dysfunctional Congress, but I can't write off all that has been done or not done to that excuse. So I'll be voting for his opponent. And again I'll say--if that person (Mitt or Newt) is elected and doesn't work out, I'll be voting for someone else in 2016.

Ditto: I voted for Obama and that was the first time in my life that I voted for a Democrat. I was set to vote for McCain until I heard Palin talk and jumped over the fence. Now, if Romney and Palin are on the ticket, I will hold my nose and vote for Romney or Newt Palin would work. I know, I AM WISHY WASHY, but remember, I am in a very large group of folks that will vote the way I do.
