I remember the same argument being made in 1979.
But Reagan won.
Mitt Romney is not Reagan, but he's no Rudy the RINO either.
Actually, there's little difference between the way the two men have actually governed. Pro-abort, pro-gay, pro-assault weapons ban, etc.
I have news for you too. Rudy is no GHWB. He is a tough cookie. And there ain't no Reagan around (sadly).
The more I hear Romney flip-flop and see his slicked 'do the more I distrust the man. He looks like he's out of 'central casting' - the trouble is, his record doesn't match the rhetoric.
Its Rudy's for the taking - if he fights for it, intelligently, and doesn't waffle, he'll win the nomination.
