( Ricky is just not presidential -has not even been vetted)
What? Really?
He was in Congress from 1991 to 2007. We know his voting record. We know his personal life (1 marriage, 7 children, drives an Audi)
Rick has been very forthright in explaining his opinions. He does not shy away from interviews with right wing hosts (unlike Romney).
He has open public town hall and campaign events (unlike $1000 a seat and $2500 picture Romney).
Can go on and on. He's been vetted repeatedly over several congressional elections and a few presidential runs.
By "vetted" you must mean "has not been smeared and run out of town by so called fellow conservatives"
