Well, you do see a gulf still, it’s just when you look across the gulf, Romney’s not the first guy you see over on the other side. :-)
Oddly, it appears Rush Limbaugh has drawn a line, and he’s put Thompson, Romney, and Giuliani on one side, and McCain and Huckabee on the other side of the gulf.
It's more like a chasm. I could jump over the chasm to vote for McCain or Huckabee. Or, you know, throw a vote at them. Romney & Rudy are at the bottom of the fiery chasm making sweet love to Saddam and Satan (South Park). I ain't goin' there.
