I was never a huge Romney fan
but as I think about it now, and as I recently watched him on TV, man did he screw the pooch big time.
This election was tailor-made for him. Dems nominate a black guy who grew up overseas and has a weird name. Economy tanks. Businesses tank in a way so complicated that most Americans can't understand it. And what did Romney do? He tried to court the Jerry Falwells and all those wackos. He tried to play Mr. Social Conservative, I'm-not-a-blue-blood. He decided to be phony. And the Republicans went with the earnest, but not so bright, and not so with it McCain. Now, before I start rubbing oil on Romney's back, I do think he has a fundamental flaw in his personality that turns people off, like John Kerry. But I wonder if things will ever set up for him, like they did for him this go-around. Wow, this was like blowing an uncontested layup with time expiring on the clock. One of the all-time misplays in presidential politics. |
This is very true.
What it also does is set Mitt up for a VERY interested 2012 run. If the economy doesnt improve much under Obama, people will be willing to look way beyond Mitt's Mormonism. Does this essentially end McCain's career in politics? I would guess so. |
Mitt needs a life coach. He needs to legitimately connect, in his personal life, with middle America.
Honest to goodness, I think he would make the biggest richest snob elitist in Georgetown blush. Not that Mitt is a bad person. He is just disconnected, since birth. And his personality doesn't allow him to reall step into other people' shoes. Of course, when I say "life coach", I mean, he needs a form of therapy. |
