Roger Simon of Politico is
considered a bright guy, and opinion leader, here in DC. He's quite
good, as well. For him to write this critical of an article about
Romney and his campaign, is not good for Romney at all:
The Romney campaign is skidding along on its axles and scraping its muffler. Soon it will be down to the dog on the roof.
But
as I have been saying for a while now, Mitt Romney is a deeply flawed
candidate who got the Republican nomination by beating a ludicrously
weak field. Don’t believe me?
You know who came in second? Rick Santorum. Newt Gingrich was third, and
Ron Paul was fourth. That’s not a field; that’s a therapy group.
With
its tunnel vision, the Romney campaign assumed an economic downturn
would mean Americans would want to elect a businessman to the
presidency.
Yet the economic downturn was caused in part by shady business
practices, runaway greed and outright dishonesty at the highest reaches
of America’s corporate community. Did Americans really want to elect the
guy on the cover of the Monopoly box or throw him in jail?
And
there is another thing that troubles me even though some dismiss it as
trivial. I am still bothered by Romney attacking that gay kid and
cutting off his hair with a pair of scissors when they were in prep
school.
A ghetto kid does that and he gets booked for assault with a deadly
weapon. But what does the son of a governor get? A law degree from
Harvard.
