Romney is Rooty lite. Nothing more and will lose by as wide a margin.
Fred wont run on any second fiddle ticket so you can forget about that. He said so and he means it.
Rooty and Romney are both anti-gun. There are 100 million gun owners that will never vote for either one.
If you really, really, want to lose, either one can get the job done!
Romney is not anti-gun. Rudy is the one among the GOP candidates who is anti gun and pro abortion and - along with Huckabee - pro amnesty and thus weak on WOT. If Rudy gets nominated, there will be a third party. Pro-life people will never vote for him. Those wanting our borders protected - and that includes many independents and - will not bother to vote.
