Who in God's Name is Mitt Romney?

Back in the thick of the 2008 Republican presidential race, I asked a captain of American finance what he had made of Mitt Romney when they were young colleagues at Bain & Company. “Mitt was a nice guy, a smart businessman, and an excellent team player,” he ­responded without missing a beat. Then came the CEO’s one footnote, delivered with bemusement, not pique: “Still, whenever the rest of us would go out at the end of the day, we’d always find ourselves having the same conversation: None of us had any idea who this guy was.”

Here we are in 2012, and nothing has changed.

What Romney’s former colleague observed of the young Mitt at close range decades ago could stand as the judgment of most Americans watching him at a cable-news remove now. That’s why his campaign has so often been on the ropes. That’s why, in a highly polarized nation, the belief that Romney is a phony may be among the very last convictions still bringing left, right, and center together.

Oh no ... here we go again.

Send him back to Sears and Roebuck, where he came from.

The road to hell is paved with Mitt Romney.

There are 2 major anti-romney hit pieces in the liberal media today - what does that mean? Are they tiring of romney, or do they just think Santorum will be easier to knock off... any insight would be welcome.

I strongly dislike Frank Rich, but this is a great article.

Romney is a cipher...a question mark. And, as such, unelectable.

I hate to say it, but we know more about Obama than we know about Romney. Outside of his church, it seems he doesn't even have (nor has he ever had) any friends.

And Frank Rich led the journalistic charge on ferreting out Barry’s history.

“Still, whenever the rest of us would go out at the end of the day, we’d always find ourselves having the same conversation: None of us had any idea who this guy was.”

It's simple....he's a stereotypical Morman....you've had to live and work among them as a non Mormanm like I did for four years, to know them.

They are like an alien culture that is forced to live among natives and get along. They must pretend to be like you and me and only among themselves can they relax. At work or with neighbors their happy face guard is always up.

LOL! To me he looks like he’s been newly cut-out and freshly shellacked.
