Yes.  It's fun to listen to our opponents rail at their opponents.
Romney was quoted on NPR yesterday as saying that if either Democrat
won this fall, then the US would withdraw from Iraq!
Couldn't have that...

Likewise I enjoyed hearing some snippet of one of the Repub. debates
where Romney (I think) was warning of the dangers of voting
for Huckabee, who would be sympathetic to illegal immigrants, etc.
To listen to him it made Huckabee sound like quite a decent guy.
