Thing is, why would the Dems smear him. He'd be a dream candidate to run against Obama (well, maybe Perry would be also)
That's a good point. This whole field is a joke. But at the end of the day, it will be Romney. It has to be. The other nuts poll up; the other nuts poll down. Romney stays right where he is. And come next summer, it should be enough to get the nomination in what is quite possibly the weakest political field ever assembled, Republican OR Democrat.
