Mitt Romney is the almost certain Republican nominee for the Presidential Election in November, with an almost unassailable lead in Primary delegates, and he has received endorsements from many senior members of the GOP Establishment, including Marco Rubio, Governor Christie, Governor Nick Haley, Governor Hayley Barbour, Senator De Mint, and Ambassador John Bolton amongst others.
Mitt Romney is an extremely rich man and he has spent a tremendous amount of money in the Republican Primary Race to establish himself as the front runner, however he is not liked by a substantial amount of Republicans and Tea Party followers, who view Romney as being too liberal for their liking, and not connecting with them on a personal level. Apart from this disadvantage, Mitt if nominated, will face an incumbent President Barack Hussein Obama who has a $1 Billion Election War Chest, and who has a stranglehold on the Liberal Media and Press, who will undoubtedly run a ruthless negative campaign to paint Mitt Romney as a devotee of Romneycare and other like minded Liberal policies when he was Governor of Massachuttess
To offset these disadvantages, there are some on the Right, who strongly feel that Mitt should pick the combative and black Congressman Allen West of Florida 22, who is deeply popular with the Tea Party, the ordinary rank and file Conservative on the street, and the Jewish Right, and who would bring a degree of charisma and populist appeal to the ticket, and greatly increase Romney’s chances of defeating Obama in November 2012. Colonel Allen West would be key to Romney securing the crucial swing blue collar States of Florida, North Carolina, Indiana, Pennsylvannia and Illinois. West would also be the perfect pick to help Romney to eat into Obama’s Black, Jewish and Latino support which will be of paramount importance to who eventually wins the Presidential Race.

We can argue it from now until kingdom come! The 14th amendment will ultimately be the decisive determinant.
For me, it "birther propaganda" until proven otherwise! We need to either deal with it now or forget about it. I am more concerned with winning this election than being right or wrong on this issue. Rubio could turn a Romney loss into a Romney win. After the election we can get together and decide if we want to say goodbye to the Establishment or not! I am a Constitutionalist too. But I still haven't seen evidence that would support the "birther position."
Comment by Elizabeth Shea on April 14, 2012 at 8:43am A few of us here are researching what we can do in the courts, but even that is limited, such as Quo Warranto, but even that can be interrupted by the Atty. Gen.
Comment by Elizabeth Shea on April 14, 2012 at 8:40am I don't know, Frances. It seems as though we don't make much progress.
Comment by Frances JoAnn Lewis on April 14, 2012 at 1:38am Elizabeth do we dare to dream? This could become interesting.

But will the lawmakers have courage to begin asking the tough questions when there are tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands, of their constituents demanding answers?

Peter! A match made in Heaven? Absolutely not! What you been smoking?
I agree that West has many positives and would be a good pick for a VP position BUT more so if the Republican President is Sarah Palin. As I was saying over a year ago.
Romney is a liberal (Anti-Constitutionalist). Romney is not a Constitutional Conserative. That is why there needs to be an all out effort to ensure Romney is not the Republican nominee.
We cannot trust Romney to appoint Constitutionalist to the Surpreme Court. Romney did not appoint any while he was Governor, not one!
We must ensure Gingrich is the nominee. And we must ensure Sarah Palin is his VP. If we cannot have Sarah Palin as the next President.
If Anti-Constitutionalist continue to be allowed to be President, Senators and Congressmen/women, America will cease to exist except in name only.
Comment by Shavager on April 13, 2012 at 10:09pm FRANCES--you're RIGHT--that's the problem, they are ALL ACADEMICS--college educations AND NO BACKGROUNDS IN BUSINESS! Owebumbler has ZERO cabinet members who've ever RUN A BUSINESS. We need EXPERIENCE from governor's backgrounds to operating businesses and corporations to help grow JOBS, ECONOMY, control spending, shrink federal overhead and agencies, budgets, limit govt programs. West would be better served in a different capacity than VP--you're willing to accept an individual who's never operated a business just as the current idiot in president's disguise is. We need a VP who can step in and BE president, not just a sidekick for votes or publicity that could not provide the experience should he have to. Boehner is doing all Boehner can do--like playing ball or working with one hand behind his back. HE can't pass anything through Congress without DemocRAT help as long as Dems. hold the Senate--there are 28 JOBS bills sitting on Harry Reid's Senate desk--STOPPED from any further consideration. Can't pass Balance Budget legislation--STOPPED at Reid's Senate desk--GOP can't pass any legislation right now without Dems. help--all they can do is STALL spending bills, force House votes on issues--NOTHING will pass in the Senate as long as DemocRATS control it and Owebumbler has VETO power.
