Would you have voted for Mitt?

I'm curious to know what he had going on in that noggin of his for our current econimic situation were in.

I prefer Mitt over all of the major dems of the 2008 election, and over the other 2 finalists in the Republican primary.

But my first choice would have been Fred Thompson. And if I ever voted for Mitt it would have been in spite of, not because of, his Mormonism.

I voted for Romney, presuming that he would do better on character than some of the others and for positions on issues that match well with my views. IIRC, Thompson was a good fit for my views too.

If I was American, I would have voted for Mitt even if he was against the Fair Tax which I'm a proponent of. There was nobody on the dem side that reflected my ideals and Mitt was the strongest on the rep side that shared my ideals.

Mitt and Fred would have been the best ticket in my opinion.

I wanted to vote for Arnold, but the state of Colorado has removed the blank line for writing in candidates in a presidential election (totally unconstitutional I might add).

So I voted for Obama (you may now commence the vegetable throwing).

Mitt seemed like a decent and reasonable guy. I wished he had not flip-flopped on many issues to please the the ultra-conservatives of his party. His original positions would have made him more electable.

I think McCain would have had a much better chance at winning if he'd chosen Romney as his running mate, partly because Romney has general political experience and credibility, and partly because of his extensive economic experience. I would have strongly considered voting for that ticket.

If a Mormon ever wins the White House, it will be a Democrat. The Republican party base won't let anyone get elected who is religious but not evangelical. Democrats don't really care what a person's religion is.

I really liked Mitt. I think he would have been an outstanding President and would have been much better at handling the economic disaster that we find ourselves in. Don't count him out though, he is about the only person left in the Grand Old Party. I think he'll make another run at it.

I went to a Mitt rally and was very impressed with him. That being said, I was looking for a hybrid candidate. Maybe someone with Romney's business experience and communication skills, sprinkled with a bit of Ron Paul's ideas and wrapped with Rudy Guilianni's common sense and charisma. But, yes, I would have voted for Romney.
