Romneybot cr@p, pure and simple.

You'd be surprised how accurate his description of the Republican Establishment is. Romney is the face of Bushism.

Where he goes wrong is his assumption that Palin won't challenge on policy ideas. That's the assumption everyone makes about Palin, and I suspect that that's where she will surprise everyone.

Best,

Romneybot cr@p, pure and simple.

Looks like you don't read his (Daniel Larison's) blog.

That's not surprising as it's usually a long slow slog.

Anyway, he hates Romney more than I'd have believed it possible for one human being to hate another.

You can see some of that at the end of this post: "In many ways, Romney has a much easier path to the nomination, and he has just reminded everyone why he would be a spectacularly unsuccessful general election candidate."

I suppose Romney probably would be unsuccessful as well, but don't share Larison's contempt for the man, which is in line with his general contempt for Republicans but is much more intense than his dislike of Bush or McCain.

Daniel Larison's coming from some strange paleocon fantasy place -- maybe it's RonPaulLand, I don't know. Anyway, Romney's not his man.

Mitt-hatred isn't confined to loyal Republicans by any means. Larison's feeling that Mitt might be the nominee isn't a sign of his respect for Romney, but of his contempt for most of the Republican Party.
