Mitt Romney is running for a very small constituency.

It is a constituency of one - himself.

He doesn't want to pay more in capital gains or taxes than he does right now and that is almost nothing. He is running for himself.

That is why he doesn't connect with anyone except his family. He knows there is a sucker born every minute and he wants every sucker vote in this country. If they believe that Romney needs another taxcut, then they should join him in his crusade to save his massive fortune from taxation. He is on a mission.

They don't think about how it will impact all of America. They don't think of the policies. They are very superficial. It's their team against the other team. They don't realize the serious responsibility that has been put in their hands.

rock solid refusal to release his tax returns. All others issues are relative. That tells me everything I need to know about him, and it ain't good.
