A lot is made of the exit polls and right now, my single biggest issue is the economy followed by immigration and WOT.  I know that there are social conservatives that want to talk about Abortion and Gay Marriage and moral decay, but at the end of the day, what Planned Parenthood does in the inner city has not a bit of relevance on me paying my mortgage, keeping my job, or sending my kids to college.  At the same time, having my kids blown to bits by a mushroom cloud might hurt my plans too.  And I live in Arizona making the high cost of illegals a central issue for me.

On the issues:

--Economy.  Romney wins hands down.  Not a populist like Huck.  Not against the Bush tax cuts like McCain.  And Romney is probably the single smartest candidate left (since my choice Fred is gone).  Rudy is a close second and I really like his tax plan, but the issue of Rudy’s complete lack of momentum diminishes him as a viable candidate compared to Romney.  Rudy must win Florida to even merit consideration.

--Immigration.  Romney wins again by default.  He isn’t a co-sponsor of legislation with Kennedy’s name on it.  He doesn’t believe God commands him to give illegals instate tuition.  Rudy ran a sanctuary city.

--WOT.  McCain wins this followed by Rudy if he is still alive and kicking in two weeks.  Huckabee stayed at a Holiday Inn Express on this and that disqualifies him. 

With Fred gone, I am wholeheartedly supporting Romney.  But I am a businessman making $100k plus and I am exactly the Wall Street, Big Money conservative that Romney appeals to.
