I have been under the impression that the NRO felt a little burned by their endorsement of Romney in 2008, that they lost some credibility.

So they have been and are holding off on going towards Romney, although this is their inclination and desire. They'd rather be following than leading.

It's clear that the GOP elites and the big-money people want Romney. But the averge Joe rabble rousing conservatives do not want him. They want a bomb-thrower, a torch-carrier. Who cares if he is a deeply flawed guy who has never been a government executive, never run for or held state or national office, and serially betrays (in his personal and public life) the people closest to him.

I'd vote for Paul before I voted for Gingrich. The idea of him commanding our military makes me deeply afraid. In fact, I might vote for Obama over Gingrich.
