He's not the slickest debater, but if you listen to what he's saying you find he's right on the issues. I love his life story. I look at him and see someone I could do business with on a handshake. I don't see any other candidate I would feel comfortable doing business with that way.
I agree, he is right on the issues - but he needs to convey his message much better.
Of course it didn’t help that Michelle Bachman and Myth Romney attacked him viciously right out of the gate.
