Good and comprehensive article. Thanks for posting. Just so much I wanted to comment on as I read the article:
1) Romney is admitting he was a lying huckster that was just pretending he was a conservative! (think about it).
2) Romney is a terrible politician. Rich enough to buy a Governor’s mansion (think of all the terrible politicians with giant bankrolls who are Senators and Governors), but not good enough to win the Presidency.
3) How do I know Romney is a terrible politician?
a) Last campaign he outspent everyone and lost to a geriatric that was no-one I knows first choice.
b) He can’t read the “times.” The times are more conservative and more populist than any I can remember since Carter. Yet Romney is planning to run to the left and as an elitist Mr. Fix-it. “I’m smarter than the other elitist Mr. Fixits like Paulson and Bernacke . . .”
4) He wants to ignore conservatives, the South, and Christians and win the Republican nomination. And he wants us to think he’s smart . . .
5) He won Florida last nomination. Not this time. That’s a pledge. I’ll work my tail off against this guy.
I agree with everything but for point 5.
Didn’t McLame score a killing win in the Florida primary?
This will not cause one ounce of doubt among his supporters, they will merely await the specifics of who he wants to be for this election cycle, and then they will instantly become true and committed believers in whoever that turns out to be.
