In the end, it’s Mitt

[UCmeNdc]

With Republicans everywhere wondering what has happened to the Mitt Romney campaign, people who know the candidate personally and professionally offer a simple explanation: It’s the candidate himself.
Slowly and reluctantly, Republicans who love and work for Romney are concluding that for all his gifts as a leader, businessman and role model, he’s just not a good political candidate in this era.

I did a very quick read of this. I find it very interesting that the writer overlooked one quality of Mitt Romney that no voter can back. Mitt Romney lies. Mitt Romney sees nothing unethical in running campaign ads with out and out lies. When confronted on these lies basically Mitt Romney says, "So what?" .
That is a character flaw of Mitt Romney which politico refused to look at.

2. Also he just doesn't care.

People want a president who cares about them.

3. The writer is overly nice and forgiving of Mitt....

He talks about how wrong a man-of-privlidge is for this era, yet the great depression elected FDR, and man of more privilege than Mitt. Why? Because FDR really did seem to care about people, really did seem to understand them, and really wanted to do right by them in his policies. Mitt does not. Yet the writer doesn't point this out. Doesn't point out that Mitt made his money selling off American jobs. Etc.

He keeps quoting people saying, "Mitt's a great leader but not a politician..." Bullshit. Nothing he's done proves this to be true. Just what people want to believe.
