Thumbs up Mitt Romney for President 2008
If I had a choice right now, my vote would not go for McCain or even Guiliani, it would go for Mitt Romney.

Mitt Romney has lived a very successful life, helped Massachusetts during its struggle when he entered into office, and so on. The guy is just brilliant when it comes to observing problems and making things work. He has my vote because I believe he is the best when it comes to managing money, and he reminds me much like Ronald Reagan. I don't think he is as good of a speaker like Ronald Reagan, but I think he is close to being as good.

Check out the View Mitt TV at www.mittromney.com His videos are quite amazing!

I would rather vote for Hillary Clinton than Mitt Romney.

He has the social issue record of Newt Gingrich

No thanks

ANYbody over Romney - no kidding.

But I'd vote for her before Mitt - I can't STAND him

It might end up coming down to him and Guiliani with the Republicans. Romney might be stronger with the Republican base but most likely would lose the general elections if nominated. He wants to make abortions illegal, he's wants to ban gay marriage (and civil unions), and if I'm not mistaken he's still backing the President's Iraq War policies. All of which are pretty unpopular stances in terms of the majority of American voters. He also supports Bush's stance on stem cell research.

So I think he would make a horrible president.

He seems kind of hypocritical to me. I looked up some stuff on him, and during his Senate race he said he was going to be a bigger advocate for gay-rights than Ted Kennedy; and now he wants to impose a ban on all gay marriages and civil unions. He also used to be in favor of stem cell research but supported the President in opposing it.
