The late, great historian Barbara Tuchman had this to say about leadership in the 20th century:

"When it comes to leaders we have, if anything a superabundance. . . They are scurrying around, collecting consensus, gathering as wide an acceptance as possible. But what they are not doing, very notably, is standing still and saying, 'This is what I believe. This is what I will do and what I will not do. This is my code of behavior and this is outside it. This is excellent and that is trash.' There is an abdication of moral leadership in the sense of a general unwillingness to state standards....and watch out for Mitt Romney, he's a RINO..."

I think its the opposite. I wouldn’t trust a word the Boston Globe says. If anything they are trying to alienate the base further away from Romney (if thats possible.) Never trust the Globe it ALWAYS has an agenda.

He went into hiding during the Giffords/Palin nonsense, and he’s in hiding now from any connection to the Tea Party, without actually coming out and denouncing it. All the better to embrace it if he finds it necessary.

Coward.

Am I wrong in recalling that, as head of the SLC Winter Olympics committee, he ruled that the U.S. flag not be displayed, a decision later rescinded in the face of vocal outrage?

Mitt is a sure-fire 40-state loser to Obamsky.

Romney reminds me of the phony car salesman “Joe Isuzu”. How he thinks he’s got a chance is mind numbing. Follow “Myth” Romney anywhere — you gotta be kidding!
