I've suggested on other threads that if Fred looked like Mitt, he'd have run away with this nomination a long time ago. I regret that fact in the greater electorate, but it is a real shame that it is strongly here at FR too. You would think the posters to the world's best conservative online site wouldn't be so impressed by bright shiny things.
Maybe these debates should be only on the radio, that way we can focus on the message, not the image.
Alas even some that are brilliant can be fooled by brilliance...
