I'll let you be the judge. Good line or how he really feels!?
OK -- he was joking. But when you couple this questions together with the whole: "I'll build the damn fence if they want it" you have to wonder. John - you gotta be careful.
What the hell is wrong with Mitt Romney? Is he a stalking horse for Rudy Giuliani? I'm serious, is he?
Mitt is going after everyone and anyone who might be an alternative to Rudy Giuliani, but giving Rudy a free pass on everything.
I no longer think Mitt Romney is seriously running for President. I think he is looking for a VP nod from Rudy.
Somebody ping the Romney folks to take up my challenge, please! Prove to me Mitt Romney is NOT a stalking horse to take on everyone else but Rudy Giuliani in this race.
Mitt, if you want some of us to start taking your seriously, you'd better damn well start taking-on the front-runner instead of Sam Brownmback and John McCain.
The strategy is actually a good one. Rudy has so much in his closet that you almost don't have to do anything. Yes, he is the front runner right now... but that will change dramatically soon IMHO.
I thought Giuliani was stalking Romney? In all seriousness, I have advocated here and elsewhere that Giuliani would be the perfect VP for Mitt and that Mitt should not attack him.
In addition, I believe Mitt is seeking to run as a positive candidate, in contrast to McCain's grumpiness.
Mitt doesn't need to attack Giuliani. I don't believe he gains any traction by doing so. McCain is going to have to do that sooner or later anyway.
In a way, Romney's statements that McCain and Giuliani are heros is a very sound strategy. Even better than attacks. He is basically saying, I admit those men are heros, but I am still the best man for the job. Almost disarming their greatest strength. One has to acknowledge the strenghts of your opponents from time to time.
