Look, Romney is the Republican nominee

and barring the disclosure of something blatantly and inescapably illegal, he will be the Republican nominee. All the suggestions that he'll soon drop out are just ridiculous. Yeah, he has a glass jaw but it's fortified with a billion or more bucks. He ain't dropping out.

It would have to be not only something blatantly and inescapably illegal, but also something that the public understands is blatantly and inescapably illegal and would actually be outraged about.

There's this sudden proliferation of either hand-wringing "talking points" or wild speculation.

No bullshit. Crazyland is in high gear to defeat Obama. So every poll that tells us that is not a lie.

why in the world would Romney be forced to withdraw? He continues to be neck and neck in the polls with Obama. I don't see any evidence of any loss of support in the polling for Romney.

I might actually watch it, if that were to happen.
And I'm sure the M$M would love the ad dollars!
But yeah, barring the major unforeseen, Mittens is their man.

When he is named the nominee at the convention, your post will be valid. At this point he is the presumptive nominee, no offense to crazy fuckstick con man Ron Paul. That is how it works.

Lets all meet in the RNC unconvention threads at the appropriate time and make fun of the psychos as they scramble to deal with all of the shit yet to come out on this presumptive sociopath. Until then, I see no reason to be assholes to each other about Rmoney. He is doing just fine tearing himself apart.
