re: #12 Charles
Romney has a lot of support from GOP bigwigs, probably because he comes from a wealthy long-time Republican family. But he’s lost the base.
If he doesn’t recant from this pro-science position soon, he’ll also lose the GOP’s astroturfing sugardaddies (i.e. the Killionaire Koch brothers).
I predict the GOP nominee will be whomever they most approve of, but at this time, I can’t guess who that is.
