I don’t think Santorum’s electoral prognosis is good either, but he is absolutely right about Romney.
Romney is basically a parody candidate. If you took all of the stereotypes that the Left promulgates about Republicans, and then amalgamated them into one man—the result would be Mitt Romney.
He’s a multi-faceted cluster of liabilities in this election. Consider:
1) Upcoming “racist Mormon church” narrative.
2) Upcoming “Wall St. corporate raider” narrative.
3) Liberal governing record in MA will turn off conservative voters.
4) RomneyCare… ’nuff said. Will look extremely hypocritical.
5) Protested in favor of the draft, yet got himself a deferment.
6) Lacks charisma, has weak force of personality.

Absolutely. ISN’T THIS OBVIOUS? OBAMA WILL DESTROY MITTENS!
Why would anyone vote for him knowing what the Obama machine will do?
The guy has 15 mansions, one in San Diego on the beach because he likes the sound of the ocean at night.
Makes me think the GOP power brokers figure Obama is a shoe in and they just want to try to win other races, booking for 2016.
Excellent analysis. I’m not sure Romney incorporates absolutely every leftist stereotype about Republicans though.
