It’s all part of the DNC’s plan. Once they unload Kennedy’s 1994 ad campaign on him, Romney’s toast. As Weekly Standard pointed out, Romney always starts out strong in his campaigns and then gradually fades away as more and more people get turned off and underwhelmed. He’s got the “look” of a good politician, but he’s even more of an empty suit than Obama with no record, no substance, no core values, no accomplishments, no achievements. Newt is just the opposite, doesn’t look like much, but he wins people over with great ideas, a winning attitude and real substance over the course of a campaign.
During Mitt Romney’s failed one-term governorship, Massachusetts ranked 47th in the nation in job creation, not much of a selling point for a guy whose sole claim to fame is that he supposedly can fix our economy. Romney lost the Senate race to Ted Kennedy in 1994 by 17 points on the same day that Newt and many other Republicans swept into office and took control of the House from the Democrats for the first time in 40 years. The Democrat machine absolutely savaged Romney in that Senate race with ads detailing his checkered record at Bain Capital, which consisted of layoffs, a huge government bailout and his profiting off of companies as he sent them into bankruptcy. Romney had to back off of the claim that he was a job creator at all, which left him with no record to run on. He comes across to people as a cold, calculating salesman that you can’t get to know and certainly can’t trust. He is quite possibly the least electable candidate in the whole Republican primary field.
Agreed. The term “all hat and no cattle” certainly applies to Romney.
When he gets the nomination, that sound you will hear, are the people at DNC Headquarters, High-Fiving each other.
Do you have a link for this?
The reality is Mitt is the only republican (running) that can beat Obama in 2012. I wish there were alternatives, but the reality is, there isn’t.
Newt and Bachman would lose large against Obama. Perry, might have a chance, but I am afraid the public meme on him is already established.
Romney has the campaign organization and the donor are going to quickly fall in line early in this race. If Romney pulls out a win in Iowa, the cards will align quickly behind him.
I see Obama’s hail mary as selecting HRC as his running mate. That means Obama must get Rubio or Jindall on his ticket.
