Romney is not the “real deal”. He has baggage.
Let those amongst us who is without sin cast the first stone.
He is the smartest candidate on either side and there is no question in my mind he is committed to the best interests of the US. Continued American global dominance for this century might just have been secured by GW Bush in Iraq, but it could be squandered by a lesser intellect than Romney’s. I would rather not risk that.
In terms of IQ, Jimmy Carter was probably the smartest man who ever served as President. It's wisdom you should be looking for, not intelligence. Some smart people make consistently bad decisions because they lack wisdom. Carter was smarter than Reagan. Reagan was wiser than Carter. We saw how that played out in their Presidencies.
