DEL.ICIO.USHard to know which stings worst
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
We got a call from Gail Gitcho, the Mitt Romney campaign’s deputy press secretary for regional media, about that item we ran last weekend which said Romney had confused Ralph Reed with another Republican associated with the religious right, Gary Bauer, at his recent Atlanta fundraiser.
Romney’s campaign doesn’t dispute that the former Massachusetts governor had trouble identifying Reed. But according to Gitcho, Romney mistook Reed for South Carolina Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer, with whom he’d just met, and not Gary Bauer, as our sources recalled.
Gary Bauer is a friend of Romney and has been a guest in his home, so he wouldn’t mistake him for Reed, Gitcho said.
Like Reed, by the way, Andre Bauer has stirred some controversy in South Carolina, such as getting arrested for speeding on his way to a Senate session. But unlike Reed, he was just elected to his second term as lieutenant governor.

Mitt Romney/Ron Paul 2008!!!
Ron Paul’s debate falter with Guliani seems not to matter much as Dr. Paul popularity keeps growing…funny how the mainscream media keeps pushing Guliani and McCain, neither of which this bitter EX democrackkk can stand…sorry but they are just not stable enough to be Presidunce.
