Almost ALL presidential candidates were "unknown.".
Most were Governors of states, i.e. Texas, Arkansas, California, etc. --- and relatively few were US Senators.
If you check up on Romney with an open mind, you will find he got fairly high grades from all ProLife organizations, from the NRA, and from taxpayer watchdog groups.
“Almost ALL presidential candidates were “unknown.”.
I meant ‘unknown’ in the sense that it is unknown as to what his core beliefs really are.
My own hypothesis is that when a Democratic Congress pushes, he’ll bend...at least on social issues and universal health care.
