I will admit that a large part of my support for Mitt Romney comes from being so vehemently anti-McCain. Others may call this McCain Derangement Syndrome. But it really stems from knowing McCain's record and not believing that he would make any better President of the United States than he has made a United States Senator. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. (Ben Franklin).

So, I looked around the blogs and came up with some very good reasons to vote for Mitt Romney. I will let those bloggers speak for themselves.

Dee @ Conservatism With Heart: Why I'm Voting for Mitt Romney on Super Tuesday

Anyone who has read my blog for any length of time knows that I have had HUGE issues with McCain for many years. The fact that he is now the possible nominee for our party is just beyond dis-heartening. It is like driving a stake through the heart of Reagan Conservatism. I cannot sit by silently while what so many of us have worked for is dismantled by someone as liberal as McCain. Therefore, it is expedient to support the one conservative left in this race, Mitt Romney.

Rivka @ Right Think: McCain Vs. Romney Via Their Own Words. Why I am Voting For Romney

Rivka, whose blog I started reading because she comments over at Dee's place has some video evidence on why she supports Mitt over McCain. The differences are quite startling.

Bryan @ Hot Air: The Romney Paradox

I have come around to trust Mitt Romney more than John McCain or any of the other presidential candidates, and I think he is a smart and decent man who would be a fine president. He’s a leader who has shown that he knows how to fix things, and by associating himself with real conservatives from the very beginning of his campaign, he shows what kind of leader he’ll ultimately be. I’ll happily cast my vote for him when the time comes.

Bryan's assessment of Romney closely matches my own. I do believe that Mitt Romney is a smart and decent fellow. He has managed businesses as well as a state. So, he is clearly qualified to step in as POTUS on day one. At the end of the day, I trust Mitt Romney far more than I ever could or will trust John McCain. And I have to go with my gut.

Bill Quick @ Daily Pundit: The War for the GOP

Do not be fooled. What you are witnessing today is a war for the soul, if it can be said to have one, of the Republican party. On one side is the GOP machine establishment - represented by the Bushes, the Roves, and all the family and political dynasty politicians and their strategists who have tried to keep control of the party over the years.

On the other side are those whom the establishment regards as the barbarians at the gates: the rabble who listen to the conservative talk shows, the talker hosts themselves, the “Reagan Republicans,” the Gingrich revolutionaries, and now the bloggers and their readers.

This is, in a nutshell, a war between those who value principle over power, and those for whom power is first, foremost, and nearly everything.

I have often wondered if this nagging feeling that Bush and McCain had a deal for 2008 was based on anything other than unfounded suspicion. But seeing the events of 2008 play out before me it really does seem that this is more than likely what has happened. The John McCain of 2000 and even 2004 was unelectable. He was never going to make it out of the primary season. So, what happened? It isn't that he suddenly became a true Republican or a conservative overnight. In fact, based on his record alone, one would naturally assume that he was a candidate for the Democratic nomination. So, what gives? Is there a war for the GOP going on behind closed doors? My guess is that there is.

Michael Reagan @ Michael Reagan Show: John McCain Hates Me

As I watched McCain and Governor Romney go at it during the debate at the Reagan Library I was struck by the huge gap that separates McCain -- whose contempt for his fellow humans is patently obvious -- and my dad, Ronald Reagan, who had nothing but the deepest affection and respect for the American people.

I find it quite telling that with all the candidates invoking the name of Ronald Reagan, that the actual son of The Gipper comes down so solidly against Reagan's, "foot soldier" John McCain (who is he kidding?).
