The victim is not necessarily the one shot...it is your presumption/bias/belief.
Anyway the thread is not SUPPOSED to be about who anybody thinks the victim is in any specific case. It is about who would do a better representation of the victim...Romney or Obama.
Based on Obama's selective response to date, high profile, racial based, with a perceived gain for him out come, cases I would not choose him. He is what he is and he has demonstrated where his interests lie...vote accumulation opportunity.
I do not know enough about Romney, except to offer an opinion based on his behavior about people in general as we are able to observe in the different sources of information available about the man. My opinion is he is less dependent upon the need to make a mark or impression race wise. In that assumption alone I would choose Romney over Obama. As we learn more about Romney in the days ahead we will get a better perspective on our "guess" about his direction on "victims".
I do not need to know any more about Obama's perspective....it is the perspective that his interests are personal and racial based.

In order to ask which candidate would be a better advocate for the victim, you first have to determine who is the victim. Is the victim the dead person or the person who shot him? Was the killing justified and does that make the killer the victim - or is the victim still the dead person? I say "killer" merely because you have the "killer" and the "killed".
As my friend, Rubicon, says - I opine, you decide.
