Romney may be a great guy -- but being a Mormon pretty mudh ensures that he could't beat the Dem candidate. The "swing voters" are just not going to vote for a Mormon.
Romney is a bit too blow-dried too. Rudy looks and talks rough - and I think this will play well vis-a-vis the WOT.
That is where the man has 'Gravitas'...
So the morally upright wont vote for a family man with grandkids and successful business man over someone who goes to this church???

... but they'll vote for the guy who has all this going for him:

I am a Christian and as an evangelical, I'd rather see a Christian in the Oval Office because I believe that that solid rock is the one to stand on -- it's the best possible base. That having been said...I would rather vote for a man who opposes abortion, Morman or not, and who stands for family values than someone who PROFESSES to be a Christian and leans towards liberalism. I keep reading that conservatives are putting too much importance on the issue of abortion. Hey...to those being aborted (excuse me, murdered, ripped limb from limb, having their brains sucked out), it's an aboslutely IMPERATIVE issue. Since when did legalalized murder become a secondary issue?
Romney has my vote if he gets the nomination.
