You could say the same about Mitt/his family - if ‘image’ is your criteria in choosing a candidate.
Actually it does help willard as well.
Rick is a decent guy, who will honor the office of the presidency. You can tell a man on how he treats women, especially his wife and daughters, AND how he teaches his sons to treat women. He’s a good family man, who personally lives his pro-life stance.
I have 59 first cousins on one side & only one is going for Romney, the rest like Rick. I have an aunt who also is going with Romney, but her daughters say they will talk her out of it before our primary.
I have been around the block a few times, I have never found a lady that did not want a devoted husband and father for her children, and if he can fix thinks about the house he is a real keeper. It is just a fact of life.
