My money's on Mitt

From Michael R.V Whitman Sir: James Forsyth says that either John McCain — bound for ever to the Iraq debacle and a major player in the late and unlamented Monkey Congress — or Rudy Giuliani — pro-abortion, anti-gun, pro-gay marriage — will be the US Republican nominee (Hillary v. Obama is the real race', 27 January). Not on this planet. Mitt Romney will be the nominee. Give Mr Forsyth my address and tell him I'll give him the entire field against Romney at even money.
