Romney's recent statements might indicate a shift to the right. <br /><br />It's really hard to say whether this is a genuine change of heart or simply pandering to the socially conservative wing of the GOP.

And then if he wins, who knows where he will stand? <br /><br />Your guess is as good as mine.<br /><br />SalSalimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12945830503281047000noreply@blogger.com
