Romney is a slick, snake-oil, equivocating phony. But outside of that, a pretty nice guy.
Your mileage may vary.
Other than rhetoric, in what way is Romney any better than Giuliani? His record in Massachusetts was an abomination. He, justifiable, was named the #8 RINO in the nation by Human Events in 2005.
If he ever becomes the conservative standard bearer, conservatism is over.
A real conservative is needed -- like a Bobby Jindal -- if there is any hope of any real progress in this country.
