What IS there to like?
The guy has to be one of the least inspiring, least likable candidates for president I’ve ever seen!
He comes across as someone I would go out of my way to avoid around the office. You see him coming, and all the sudden you start doing ‘something’ with your smartphone and don’t make eye contact.
This is going to be an interesting Spring, especially if Romney continues his slide.
The DAILY BEAST? I didn’t even think that garbage was permitted to be linked her.
Well.... With this article, they are correct.
Romney is about as likable and trustworthy as a used car salesman.
And this is all before Obama and the dems have even really started campaigning and focusing on him. They really haven’t lifted a figure yet or even begun to fight to quote John Paul Jones. To use a Super Bowl analogy they’re still in the locker room getting taped up and putting the pads on and haven’t even come out on the field for warmups yet.
I like how the article said some of the attacks have contributed to his image as a plutocratic out-of-touch rich guy. Really. If back in 2009 you had said “which Republican in the country most embodies the out of touch wall st fatcat/1%, has the least ability to connect or relate to main st/the average joe, and would be the best example of the stuffed-shirt CEO the dems would love to run against” Romney would have won going away. I don’t think any other Republican would even have gotten a vote.
At some point in addition ot all the factors mentioned in the article, someone is going to ask “why in this election where the economy and jobs are the main issue did the GOP elites think our best guy was someone whose state ranked 47 of 50 in total jobs created and 48 of 50 in private sector jobs created during his term as governor?”
Imagine if there was a GOP President and the dems nominated a Governor who was 47th of 50 in job creation. How much would we be laughing at them.

Far worse than WAPO, Guardian UK, vancouver Sun, LA Slimes etc? Someone on FR should make a law for our resident chronic thread makers to quit linking to those lefty sites because I hate giving them a click point..
Uh, you do know who runs the Beast don’t you?
It would be the far leftist Tina Brown...
You know, the one showing up on Morning Joe to talk about how wonderful socialism is.
It is a bit sad. 310 million people in the country. 40% of the country is conservative. All these GOP office holders nationwide. And the best we can come up with is Romney? Really?
But looking at history most presidentail nominees are pretty lame and uninspiring. Look at the list. Romney, McCain, Kerry, Gore, Dole, Bush41, Dukakis, Mondale, Carter, McGovern, etc...
Doesn’t say much. both parties have a history of picking bad candidates. It’s very rare that a true leader or inspiring emerges. On the GOP side only Reagan has in the past 50+ years
Unfortunately, so many of the so-called conservative outlets have been carrying Romney’s water that one has to check the lefties to find something critical about Willard.
What do you expect when a good chunk of Americans are only concerned about what a candidate tells them he will do for them? You know; how many chickens he will put in THEIR pot for free?

That's what has had be so blown away during this whole thing. Out of ALL the conservative republicans that are out there, the primaries are a dog show. Out of the entire Republican party, there's ROMNEY? WTF?!?!?!
I could see him being a Senator, or perhaps a Secretary of Treasury, if no one else wanted to do it, but NOT a presidential candidate!
Pass the word!
Since they’re not excerpt and link, how are you giving them hits?
The more you get to know Mittens, he's just “swarmy” and a soulless, arrogant, political opportunist.
You mean AP and Bloomberg are full-on not excerpted? And there’s no link in any of your threads? Gimme a break here.
We all know how it works: post thread, rile up the troops so they post, then you feel all goody because you posted the thread. Sounds fair?
Romney has a famous endorser beside Donald Trump.

Bishop Willard Romney is a nasty man with a void inside.
