I'm No Longer On the Fence

Look at my sidebar.  The thing that turned me?  This:


And there's this from Fox News:
Rep. Paul Ryan threw his support behind Mitt Romney on Friday, hailing him as the “best person to beat the president” and warning that the Republican primary needs to come to an end soon.

“Who will make the best president? And who has the best chance of defeating Barack Obama? … In my opinion, Mitt Romney is clearly that person,” Ryan said on “Fox & Friends.” “I am convinced that Mitt Romney has the skills, the tenacity, the principles, the courage and the integrity to do what it takes to get America back on track.”

The chairman of the House Budget Committee continued, “I think this primary has been productive — I think it’s been constructive up ‘til now — I think it’s made the candidates better, but I think we’re entering a phase where it could become counterproductive if this drags on much longer and so that’s why I think we need to coalesce as conservatives around Mitt Romney and focus on the big task at hand, which is defeating Barack Obama in the fall.”
Yup.  We've seen and heard enough.  It's time to get behind our nominee, and that nominee will be Governor Romney... for better or worse.

  1. Well, I suppose if you're gonna be pragmatic about it...

  2. Harrumph.
    Where do these politicians come from? McCain, Romney... I liked Cain, but he couldn't keep himself out of trouble. Anybody but the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue would get my vote.

    Chuck Norris... are you ready to go?

  3. Getting excited about this is difficult and I agree with Rep. Ryan - Romney is the only who might be able to beat Obama. Like you Buck, I'm ready to say enough and just pick one.

  5. I'm almost there. I hope his people make an attractive selection of a running mate.

    Wouldn't Newt make an awesome Chief of Staff?

  7. I could've swore I left a comment somewhere. It reminds me of how Hillery and Obama beat each other up a few years ago and Obama still got elected.
