Mitt Romney has announced that he won’t participate in the GOP version of the YouTube debate, stating that “I think the presidency ought to be held at a higher level than having to answer questions from a snowman,” Guliani is just overscheduled.<\/a><\/p>\n

Both of them are lame. No one gets to be a national presidential candidate without a lot of campaigns that involved kissing babies, riding on ponies, (in Rudy’s case, dressing in drag) and doing a lot of other things that many people might view as ‘beneath their dignity’.<\/p>\n
