Romney WILL be your nominee and you WILL vote for him in November. That’s just the way your personal ideologies and the GOP works together.
As TPM has reported, the Republican establishment seems quite interested in pulling back the intraparty attacks on Romney’s Bain record, and it seems they have good reason — in just a few short days it’s made a dent in Romney’s numbers, suggesting what many pollsters have argued about his support: It’s soft.
The underscore that point, the PPP data had a simple point. The firm asked Republican voters “Generally speaking, would you like the Republican nominee for President to be Mitt Romney or someone else?” 34 percent said they were for Romney. A majority of 58 percent said someone else.

A short summary of what the Republican party and its base stands for:
It’s ultimately about control, isn’t it? The GOP always wants to present a unified face unlike the Democrats who they like to paint as fractious. Chronic unity doesn’t mean true unity; it speaks to control and conformity, not to independence of thought.
I’m not thrilled with Romney at all.
I just don’t know what I’m going to do yet, voting-wise. Hoping for clarity in the future.
