The last thing Romney needs right now is an endorsement from Putin. Vlad needs to stick with Barry.
Putin has already endorsed Obama, so don’t worry.
I can see Putin’s thinking here. He wants to be the next Stalin, have people cheer his name, build his statues, and have a portrait of him on their walls. How will he achieve glory by defeating a weak loser like Bozo? He needs a challenge. Someone who will stand up to him. Hopefully he’ll get more than he bargains for when Romney wins.
