Tepid Romney endorsement showdown: Mitch Daniels vs ... a bumper sticker

— -- Until recently, it appeared that no one could unseat Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels as the champion of the tepid Romney endorsement. Since Yahoo News started conducting reader polls on the politicians who supported Mitt Romney in the least enthusiastic terms, Daniels has defeated original champ George Pataki and defended the crown against Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum and George W. Bush. (The former president came the closest to unseating Daniels.)

We thought the book was closed on the tepid endorsement bracket until Yahoo News reporter Chris Moody spotted a bumper sticker at last weekend's regional CPAC conference in Chicago bearing these words of praise: "At least he's not a communist."

We couldn't resist the urge to pit this bumper sticker against Mitch Daniels for the crown. Vote below. Results will be announced Wednesday.
