Agreed. Romney is a Dick Riordan RINO but without the repelling arrogance. The real question is whether he would motivate Republicans to vote for him given that on social issues, there's no much difference between him and the Rat he will be facing in November.
At least Romney does not have all of the ethical questions that Swift had. I should have known that liberals loved her when Swift appeared in a puff piece on '60 Minutes' a month ago. Still, she's not a country club republican, but there is not a whole lot else that is good on her record.
Either way, Romney or Swift would be a step up from Robert Reich, who would force an exodus of businesses in the state on the scale of Castro in 1959 Cuba.
