Is Romney our time’s Adlai Stevenson?

LOL....no...I don't see a comparison...

Stevenson, while elected governor of Illinois, lost in a landslide twice to Eisenhower and then again to Kennedy.

His strengths were in his rhetorical skills. He gave some speeches that were admired by both party's...but as a campaigner for national elections, he came off as weak. Too weak to take that sort of risk at the time, for the then totally different democrat party, or the republicans..

The comparison would be that an out-of-touch, slightly goofy candidate runs for President twice and loses. Romney’s lost one time, if he gets the nomination, there’s a very good chance he’ll lose again. Romney also comes off as a decent man, but weak and lacking passion. Adlai may have Mitt (what is it with these names?) on rhetoric. Can you remember one thing Romney has said?
