Of course.
It is what it is.
Romney will have to be ready to survive that, just like Gingrich has to pass through fire.
But one of the knocks on Romney is that he’s so bland and boring. So guess what? His dirt is bland and boring, too.
Newt’s dirt — Hell’s Bells, the commercials just write themselves. In fact, why write commercials? The Dems can just show pictures: Newt in front of Freddie Mac, Newt with Pelosi, Newt with Al Sharpton, etc.
What people love about Newt is that he’s colorful. And his dirt is colorful, too. OTOH, the average person eyes will glaze over if someone does a commercial about venture capital firms.
There’s no comparison between colorful dirt and boring dirt. Just the way it is.
You accidentally pointed out Romney’s fatal flaw. He is bland. He is not a leader. He has no fire in his belly. He’ll roll over to the left at the first opportunity.
