I am hardly a Romney fan, but even I don’t believe their choices would be the same. I just don’t. Consider a 2nd term marxist who doesn’t have to give two sh1ts about ANYTHING or ANYONE and his picks, versus Romney’s potential picks, and you can damn well bet he will care about getting re-elected again.
The time will likely come when good people are going to have to openly declare that the Supreme Court has no authority to issue any rulings contrary to the Constitution, and the fact that a President who holds the Constitution in contempt may appoint justices who do likewise does not mean such rulings have any legitimacy.
If such a time comes, it will be far easier to effectively denounce as illegitimate a ruling penned by Obama-appointed Kagans, than a ruling penned by Romney-appointed Souters.

Yea, you’re probably right. Thankfully, Romney’s been pushed VERY HARD to the right, due to our Primary process. It would be tough for him to become a McCain and simply act as if all he said in the Primary was for ‘domestic consumption’. Even Bush-43 got pushed hard by the base, and had to give up on Harriett Myers (thank God) and Amnesty (also thank God).
