LOL, quote of the year.
But not so fast. The 2012 Republican presidential primaries are not only about winning states but are also about the number of delegates won by each candidate. There are 2,286 delegates. A candidate must accumulate 1,144 delegate votes to win. Following the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire Primary, the delegate count stands at Mitt Romney (14); Ron Paul (10); Rick Santorum (8); Rick Perry (4); Newt Gingrich (3); and Jon Huntsman (2).
Does Romney have the passion and the communication skills essential to win the presidency for Republicans in November against a sitting president who has the ability to twist facts so they favor and enhance his image, abetted by a sympathetic and willing main stream media?
It takes both passion and communication to contrast conservative ideas over those of liberalism. If not a full-fledged conservative at heart, speaking with clarity and without hesitation becomes difficult to do because there is a disconnect in the brain between what one really believes and the explanations given in explaining positions.
When expressed in an authentic and positive way, the ideals and principles attached to conservatism will attract positive attention. The reverse is true when the conveyor of conservative principles is perceived as a phony. Mitt Romney, to many conservatives, lacks authenticity.
Romney didn’t do himself any good when on January 12, in the wake of his New Hampshire primary victory, he likened himself to President Barack Obama as a former governor. During an appearance of CBS, Romney said his job cutting actions at his Bain Capital investment firm were no different from Obama’s bailouts of the U.S. auto industry.
