Romney was born with silver spoon in his mouth.

Kerry got his at the altar.

Some difference.

Who did the Republicans have that could have beaten President Obama?

Marco Rubio

Haley Barbour

Mitch Daniels

I mean REALLY!

I suppose you could argue Romney earned his wealth, but I could argue that one might be confident as a businessman if they knew their immediate family had millions.
There's also the "French Connection" that they have in common.

I do like the Kerry/Romney comparison, though. Both were out of touch due to their wealth.


You might want to look at the polls a little closer. It's pretty much a tie.
