As many of you know, I am a loyal Mitt Romney supporter. In every way, shape, and form, he was the conservative candidate for 2008. I pray Romney, like Ronald Reagan, runs again in 2012, as I am convinced that John McCain will be defeated in November.
Nevertheless, I am one of the few people I know who enjoys being wrong. I pray that the Claremont Institute's Seth Leibsohn and William J. Bennett are right -- that John McCain is no liberal -- but I remain unconvinced. He is a liberal, like his role model, Teddy Roosevelt. But in a choice between Roosevelt or Wilson, I will choose the least progressive of the two.
And so, in a choice between two evils, I must always pick the lesser. I must cast my lot with John McCain. Though he has been wrong on immigration, the economy, and the First Amendment, I would be kidding myself if I thought that the other side would be right on these issues.
The war, which I believe was ill-advised, cannot be ignored and must be won.
So it is with a heavy heart that I inform you that Massachusetts, where I hail from, will most certainly go for Clinton or Obama this Fall.
Does anyone know where I can register to vote in California?

Register to vote at Claremont City Hall, 207 Harvard (at Second). Ask at the counter for the City Clerk, Lynne Fryman. She will hook you up.
Mitt Romney was a flip-flopper and he tried taking on the role as the truly conservative candidate. I didn't buy it, and a whole lot of other people didn't buy it either. Even Romney's campaign advisers admitted that there were some errors and miscalculations in the campaign. They tried to make him the more conservative candidate when he had many moderate views in the past. (article in NY Times) The questioned authenticity of Mitt Romney was the issue in his campaign, and Romney and his advisers knew it was a risk to take the more conservative approach-we now know it didn't pay off. I do, however, admire his dedication to his campaign- spending over 35 million dollars of your own money just to end up dropping out must be hard to take.
