It might end up coming down to him and Guiliani with the Republicans. Romney might be stronger with the Republican base but most likely would lose the general elections if nominated. He wants to make abortions illegal, he's wants to ban gay marriage (and civil unions), and if I'm not mistaken he's still backing the President's Iraq War policies. All of which are pretty unpopular stances in terms of the majority of American voters. He also supports Bush's stance on stem cell research.

So I think he would make a horrible president.

He seems kind of hypocritical to me. I looked up some stuff on him, and during his Senate race he said he was going to be a bigger advocate for gay-rights than Ted Kennedy; and now he wants to impose a ban on all gay marriages and civil unions. He also used to be in favor of stem cell research but supported the President in opposing it.
