Mitt Romney can often seem to not fit in well with the Republican Party of this decade so far. Many claim he is a pseudo – Conservative or, RINO, because of his often moderate stances on the issues. With that in mind, what decade of GOP history do you believe Mitt Romney would be best suited for?

1920 – 29: Warren G. Harding, Calvin Coolidge, Herbert Hoover; Laissez – faire economics
1940 – 49: Wendell Willkie, Thomas Dewey, Earl Warren; Moderation
1960 – 69: Richard Nixon, Nelson Rockefeller, Barry Goldwater; “We’re all Keynesians now”
1980 – 89: Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, Pat Buchanan; Reaganomics
2000 – 09: George W. Bush, John McCain, Dick Cheney; Neoconservatives

Note: I am not using 'Neoconservative' as a derogatory term.

The 1960s GOP was dominated by the Rockefeller - Nixon establishment, Goldwater was an outsider at the time. I could not exclude him though because I included every other GOP nominee. He was not a Keynesian; we all know that.
