HAMPSTEAD, N.H. - Mitt Romney suggested last week that he and his fellow Republican presidential contenders would avoid the "rancor" that flared between Democrats after one of Barack Obama (news, bio, voting record)'s fundraisers questioned Hillary Rodham Clinton's honesty.

This week, with polls showing him running third, the former Massachusetts governor took sharper aim at his leading rivals, Sen. John McCain (news, bio, voting record) of Arizona and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

McCain, Romney told New Hampshire voters on Thursday, was devising an immigration policy that was the "wrong course" for the nation. And Giuliani's positions on abortion, gay marriage and gun control were a losing combination in the GOP primary, he told a television audience replete with Christian conservatives.

Mitt is right about one thing:

Giuliani's positions on abortion, gay marriage and gun control were a losing combination in the GOP primary

Giuliani leads in Spartanburg County straw poll (Duncan Hunter is 2nd)

With 81 of 92 precincts reporting, Giuliani garnered 158 votes. California Rep. Duncan Hunter was running in a close second with 152 votes and Arizona Sen. John McCain was third with 116 votes, according to county GOP officials.

"Mitt's a real Reagan Republican."

I don't see that from mitt, not at ALL. I dont see any "shining city on the hill" positive vibes from mitt. sorry

Rudy on the other hand has that kind of swagger and confidence that can inspire, just like Reagan did.

Issues.

It's not about Mit, Rudy, McCain, or Newt. IT is about the issues.

Reagan would have made Rudy look like a Commie Pinko Normalphobe.

Hunter has it. He has the issues. Hunter's son has done two tours in Iraq. As far as I know he never cheated on his wife, like the immoral Bill Clinton and Rudy both have done.

So integrity and honoor goes to Hunter too.

Apparently he does not have an ear for the Southern Man. If the Southern Man votes for him, the Southern Man better start sending his money to the NRA.

Maybe the southern man is smarter than you think he is, and that the southern man understands what Rudy's position is. NY City isn't South Carolina and NY City law doesn't govern South Carolina.

"Mitt's a real Reagan Republican."

After close examination of Romney's record as Governor, I came to the same conclusion (see my tagline for evidence).

Mitt is definitely the most conservative on fiscal issues. I haven't added the latest from Romney in NH to my research collection, but he's talking about some pretty amazing stuff that we haven't heard from Republicans in a loooong time.

Romney: Restraining Government Spending

And I think the Southern Man understand the need for a gun in any US city. You need a gun there more in the city then you do riding around in the country where I grew up.

Take a closer look. He definitely has the Ronald Reagan vibe. The comparison is noted often by people at personal appearances.

In my Miscellaneous Videos collection, take a look at the video titled "On Innovation and Transformation of Government". You'll see the Reagan optimism on display.

I loved Reagan! Guilianni is not Reagan. Not in his wildest dreams. If anything, I would compare Giulianni to Bill Clinton.

Excuse me are they not all running for primary?

So are we not to supposed to know what is different between them?

"I don't think there's anything wrong pointing out where we're different, because some people will agree with me and some will agree with somebody else," he added. "And on some issues, someone else will be more conservative than I am, but that just depends on the issue, and I'm by no means the most conservative on all issues."
