Good analysis. Of course, Krauthammer is right in one sense. He wants a sure “winner” albeit one who can be infuenced in the “right direction” by well-placed handlers. Silly putty Romney fits the bill perfectly.
Oh no doubt Krauthammer leans towards the “safe” and “reasonable” beltway type candidate for sure.
I still find it ironic that Mitt was too Republican and too conservative for 2008 according to the Morris/Krauthammer/Frank Luntz set last time. They don’t want us remembering this.
It’s also ironic that Mitt is misreading this. If anything, he has strayed more to the center since 08 and the country’s mood and the tea party primary voters’ mood is certainly more to the right (thanks to Obama).
