“Romney is a young conservative buck”
Romney is a 60 yo grandfather...
Hardly a “buck”
And not by any stretch of the imagination, “conservative”
Yeah, technically you're right.
But Romney is infinitely younger in spirit, looks, energy, enthusiasm, and health -- with health being a very important factor.
Not to be crude, but it matters that McCains face looks like it is bulging with those lymph problems he's continually had.
Fred (love the guy) looks very gaunt and skeletal, and tired .... always.
Huckabee looks full of vigor, but he is waaay over the line in violating the establishment clause in the Constitution, and voters would reject him in droves.
Romney is the healthy adult with brains, temperament, and is proudly promoting conservative values.
