Well, the Huckster has a two decade long political career of pandering to illegal aliens, raising taxes and pardoning hardened criminals who "found Jesus". Romney has four years of nudging a hopelessly Lieberal state slightly (and temporarily) to the right.
Neither is Duncan Hunter or Fred Thompson material, but I'd take a chance on Mitt before I would the Huckster.

Not even close, and not even for 5 seconds. He tossed it off the left-wing cliff and didn't even look back.
