I've heard that the stand-in for Mitt Romney during the debate preps is John Kerry. I just don't think he's a very good stand-in for Mitt Romney. Yes, he did do well during the debates against George W. Bush, but John Kerry just doesn't do the Gish Gallop to the extent that Mitt Romney does. And I just can't see John Kerry being aggressive as Mitt Romney. Here's a comparison of Kerry's debate performance against Bush, and Mitt Romney's debate performance against President Obama:
Who do you think would be a better stand-in for Mitt Romney instead? I'm thinking that Ed Rendell might be a better stand-in. Heck, even James Carville would be a better stand-in than John Kerry at this point.
