Should be fun to watch.

Romney's not as easy to attack as people think. The worst thing people can say about him is that's he's a flipflopper. Attacking his Mormonism will be repugnant to most Americans. Romney's personal life is squeaky clean, Romney has the looks, is quick on his feet, can connect with voters in a persuasive way, and knows how to play hardball.

As a Giuliani supporter, I worry the most about Romney. Sure, activists might say they're supporting Hunter, but once they see him on stage as a slob with a permanent scowl, they'll instinctively understand the guy can't hack it. The Churchie-looking Romney, who has been going out of his way to oppose things like stem-cell research, becomes the logical alternative.

I suspect the strategy with Giuliani will be-- hey, at least with me, what you see is what you get, and I can win. Romney will lose to Hillary, and where is stands on any particular day is anyone's guess.

Pairing off against a metrosexual that makes John Edwards hairstylist look lazy & skeletor? You gotta be kidding me.

No flips or flops at all: best.
Flip-flop: Not good, but people seem to be able to tolerate it.
Flip-flop-flip: Fish food.

per Dick Morris, paraphrased

You should be worried about Romney. He'll win going away with Rudy a distant second.

That worked against Long John Kerry. And it's reportedly the reason the Witch won't apologize for her war vote (as the moonbat Rat base is demanding). She fears above all being branded as a Kerryesque flip-flopper.
