Romney isn’t my first choice, either, but he’s a damn sight better than McCain. After FL, bashing Romney while supporting Ron Paul could let McCain slip through. I don’t see how anyone can fairly equate Romney to McCain.

I guess, if you take them at their word. I think they are both lying sacks of potatoes and that they would say anything to get elected. I don't think any of the "front runners" are substantially different from the democrats.

I’m surprised to learn that Rudy actually proposed a slight overall cut in spending. Maybe I judged him too harshly because of his gungrabbing history. Oh well, too late now.

I’m also surprised they are saying Ron Paul only wants to cut spending by $150 billion. From listening to him, you get the idea he wants to reverse the $1.1 trillion in annual spending growth we have seen since 2000.

You have to start somewhere.
