Romney and his people better start going on the offense. Obama’s been attacking him left and right and Romney just takes it. Romney should have a field day on offense, but so far he’s looking wimpy.
Romney is a Gentleman Republican. As such, and as Dole and Senior Bush and Ford and McCain before him, he demands the honor of the Republican nomination but as for the election, well, he’d rather not actually have to be President. Republicans believe in their hearts that the Democrats are the natural Ruling Party and Republicans exist to help raise taxes for their programs and occasionally provide more efficient management for them.
