You can (possibly) take the boy out of the northeast, but you can't take the northeast out of the boy.

Or girl.  Not if he/she stays anyway; it's the constant reinforcement of the no-principles approach to everything that does it.

I ran the hell away, not really knowing even in my mid-30's what was what about much except the difference between right and wrong.  My folks are Republicans, but other than championing Reagan, politics wasn't much discussed, but boy o boy, have I come up to speed in the past two decades.

Ditto.

Fox is on & on how Romney, Romney, Romney, ooooh - Christie, Christie, Christie,
all the bundlers and money in the world.  Perry's gone and it's the end of Cain; hail Romney.

I like allahpundit's take...

Quote
...a guy who’s famous for uttering hard truths whether or not people want to hear them endorses a guy who’s famous for telling people whatever they want to hear to win votes... In one sense, it’s a no-brainer: Christie’s a centrist and Romney’s the great centrist hope, so the endorsement was a fait accompli. Then again, Christie’s no ordinary centrist. Along with Ryan and Mitch Daniels, he’s one of the GOP’s three warriors on the all-important subject of entitlement reform. And here he is boosting a guy whose chief line of attack against Rick Perry is … demagoging him for being too hardline on entitlement reform. Disgraceful. And insofar as Romney’s opportunistic timidity on entitlements presages timidity on cutting federal spending generally... it’s a betrayal of Christie’s budget-slashing ethos.

Responding to Charles ...

Good grief.

I won't have this.  Many have said they'll vote for whoever the R nominee is to get Duh Wun out of the WH, but I'm feeling the hair on the back of my neck standing up at the thought of having to do this AGAIN, because it worked out so well with McCain.  Taken on top of what McClintock said and the CNP about "us acting like us and not like them", I'm deeply apprehensive about the Romney push.

And Christie can kiss my gun-toting ass.

They are having their Tees engraved as we speak. 
They know if McRomneyCare (you did read that three of his people
helped Obama design ObamaCare) becomes the chosen one enough of us will vote for him. 

It will take mass earnest protest to convince them Obama will be reelected. 
Or maybe that's why their having those Tees engraved.   
Romney or Obama, either way.... four!

Wow, THAT was quick. So quick that it begs the question, when was Christie's endorsement actually procured by the Romney campaign?

It's His Turn.

Whoulda thunk that the Republican Party has a seniority system, just like labor unions?

As I and others have argued time and time again...its easy being against Obama, that is a given, but the Ruling Class Repub's assuming we'll go along on that basis alone are making a mistake if they think that alone guarantees their anointed candidate will win.  As we've seen in the recent past (McCain, Dole, Bush I [failed reelection] & Ford) not offering a reason to vote FOR a candidate often has consequences.  I am not settling anymore, a Ruling Class candidate may survive the primaries, but it will not survive the general.  ABO sounds good but it is too narrow, too simplistic and too prone for epic failure.

Karl's got his little chalkboard out explaining how they can win without us.

Plan B - they'd sooner have Obama and the golf course than a conservative and work - either at congress or heaven forbid,
in the private sector.

Good luck to The Butthead with former, and as far as the latter is concerned, well, tree/blood, patriots/tyrants...The Reckoning will sort it all out.
