So, again, he's basically Romney (the frontrunner) v. 2??
I really think it boils down to his lack of negative rhetoric against Obama.
You watch... Romney will move to the center on a lot of these same issues after he wins the nomination. IMHO, he'll have to. if he stays on the far right push he's trying for he will lose a big chunk of the independent vote... |

For pointing out the hypocracy in the Super PAC system?
Both sides should appluad this in an Era where coorperations AND unions have undue influence on elections and advertising... |

I enjoy the theater of it. Trying to understand why a particular candidate rises and falls.
I can see why Newt and Romney (and Paul). I can understand the fall of Cain, Bachman, Perry... the Huntsman thing is enigmatic to me...
if the roles were reversed, you would be breaking down the left candidates... |

He's far from 'my guy'. We disagree almost across the board ideologically.
I do 99% respect the way he tried to run his campaign. the 1% was his backtrack on climate change. Otherwise I don't think he pandered, and didn't go overtly negative to either the president or his rivals. |
