Now that Fred Thompson is out of the race (or will be soon), the die-hards will be circling the wagons around Romney. I really want to LIKE Romney, but something doesn’t click there.
Some factors that unfairly hurt Mitt Romney, the 3 Ms:
- Money. I think some people deep down don’t like someone who has been wildly successful in his own financial life like Romney has.
We look up to sport figures etc. but a businessman who made it to the top and made millions? People get jealous.
It’s that same factor btw that gets populists and socialists elected. Envy is not a virtue but a vice.
- Massachusetts. He gets a guilt-by-association tag because he governed there and gets blamed for things the libs imposed there (which are not his fault).
- Mormonism. ‘Nuff said, lets not go there but it is a factor.
If you had a guy from your background and state saying exactly the same campaign message that Mitt is saying, I can assure you, you would be pretty enthused.
