   Michael van der Galien, Editor-in-Chief Bob: I sincerely believe that Mitt Romney was the only candidate on the Republican side Democrats feared. They knew that Obama would blow McCain away, Huckabee was too much of a religious conservative... the only other threat would have been Giuliani. But Romney would have had one major benefit: loads of money. O, and he was the Republican Governor of a (quite) Blue state. That would have helped him tremendously. His strength: the economy. He would have destroyed Obama in debates about the economy, he would have offered voters a true, fiscally conservative alternative. I said it once, I'll say it again; the moment Republican voters decided Romney should be shut down, they lost in November.
