Brumar, I am not sure who your preference was but it did not have to be Romney. Santorum absolutely self destructed in Michigan at a time he was ahead in both Michigan and Ohio. To say he went off the deep end is an understatement. I think it is fortunate that he showed his colors early. Could anyone imagine what would have happened if he pulled those faux pas in the general election. Tea Party conservatives may not like Romney - but at least we have avoided a Sharon Angle or Christine O'Donnell type presidential candidate that would lose by 10 percent. The radicals in the Tea Party gave us Harry Reid for two more years - not to mention the lunatic rants of Rush. Common sense needs a seat at the Republican table. There is no Ronald Reagan in 2012. We need to rally to our colors and hope Mitt has the stones to call Obama a liar to his face. Bob

In any case, please quite pounding on Romney. I hope I don't have to join the chorus after the election, but until then, let the Liberal threads go after him. Thanks, Bill

I bet Klein is a member of the Tea Party. This is exactly what we intend for Mitt Romney. Rather than resting on their 2010 laurels, conservatives should work hard this year to put as many principled lawmakers as possible into Congress — people who won't merely talk tough about shrinking government when a Democrat is in the White House, but who will be willing to resist calls for party unity and stand up to a Republican president if he tries to expand government. Supporting Romney as the only alternative to Obama doesn't mean that conservatives have to spend the summer and fall defending Romneycare to their friends or making excuses about his history of flipflops to their neighbors. By staying true to their principles, conservatives will not only feel better about themselves, but they'll also improve the odds that Romney will run as a conservative in 2012 and govern as one if elected.
