Former Democratic National Committee Chairman, Terry McCauliffe was asked by fortune magazine Washington Bureau cheif, Nina Easton, the following:
Terry, who do you predict is going to be the leading Republican alternative to McCain in 2008?
MCAULIFFE: Mitt Romney. I think he has a great business background [and] has done some great things on health-care initiatives in Massachusetts. You know, Ed and I have actually seen him on speaking engagements. He trudges around with his PowerPoint presentation. If he can deal with the religious issue [Romney's a Mormon], I think that he would be formidable.
Add one more to the list of political heavyweights that thinks that Romney's looking strong.
