Originally Posted By Labuda So, Donny, as a person who is anti-"Obamacare," how is it that you're happy Romney is in the race? You jsut think people of Massachusetts should all be ensured, but not the people of the entire nation? I don't get it. Sorry.
Originally Posted By skinnerbox Donny's only excited because Romney is a Republican. He hates Democrats and especially President Obama, so he'll support and rally behind any Republican who's popular enough to get votes to potentially win the election.
