First, Datamar has a terrible record in survey research.

Second, things are currently so confused in California I doubt if anyone knows who is leading there.

Third, there is no doubt that McCain has dropped drastically in California, but is probably doing a little better than 5 per cent.

Fourth, no one has support of more than a quarter of California Republican like presidential preference primary voters at this time, including Romney.

Fifth,  the Datamar "poll" badly underestimates Fred Thompson's support.

To you Romney haters out there, Romney could be elected President and you still wouldn't believe the result.

Bitterness and non belief in what is happening does not change the facts.

Some of your comments border on hysteria.

No offense, Winfield, but you occasionally pop your head into certain threads and declare your unwavering support for Mitt Romney, neglecting to respond to the frequent (and usually valid) criticisms of him, and then disappear.

Can't you at least acknowledge Romney's perceived lack of core principles, as evidenced by his backflips on the issues over the years in order to appear electable?

Thank you for your observations, Joe, but someone has to at least say something when Romney is being bitterly and unjustly denounced by posters on this forum.

I do not view Romney as doing backflips, rather, that he has honestly changed or modified his views on some issues, and at least has the courage to admit that he has made mistakes.

Romney is a politician, yes, and I recognize that, and as well recognize that politicians say certain things at certain times in certain places. 

I still view Romney, however, as one of the most gifted leaders in public life today, and that is why I believe he has the qualities necessary to be an effective President.

Where a politician can plausibly explain changing positions based on something other than expidency, then yes, I agree, he should be given the benefit of the doubt.

You are also correct in that Romney has shown considerable talent in fundraising, organization and public speaking.

Romney is not my favorite candidate, but, unlike McVain or Giuiliani, he seems to be qualified.
