Mitt Romney was clean cut, mannerly, temperate, and practiced in all the social graces.

It did not come naturally to McCain or Dole, both of whom didn’t shine at it.

All 3 were destroyed by their opponents. All 3 maintained that so-called ‘presidential’ aura throughout their campaigns. They even required it of their operatives in the field. I remember when talk radio host Billy Cunningham was told by John McCain to QUIT using Obama’s middle name. Cunningham just backed out of McCain’s campaign. I remember that warrior Sarah Palin was backstabbed so many times by the McCainiacs in charge of his campaign that she carried her own Hindu bed of nails around with her.

I remember Candy Crowley and the Mitt campaign mewly response to collaboration between a candidate and a moderator: they ratcheted up the ‘properness’ and coasted on their mannerliness. In the meantime, Obama was subverting Chris Christie and charging Romney will killing cancer-stricken employees.

So, let’s be clear. The boy scout, go-to-church image, nicey-nice image is not electable.

I want someone who will beat the sh_t out of the opposition and let the chips fall where the chips fall.

I was casually reading along, got to the money quote, then saw who posted it.

I have to admit to laughing. Hard.
