The problem ...Thanks for the link! Will link back.<br /><br />The problem with Mitt is that he's a panderer. I say that not as someone who wants Mitt to fail, but as someone who wants the GOP to beat Obama and undo some of his damage.<br /><br />There was a time when I thought Mitt was just fine. And in 2008, he might have been adequate. But in the post-Obama era we will need a president who instinctively understands the danger of government and who can rise above the level of poll-based pandering to voters who are barely paying attention.<br /><br />Mitt is not the man for the job.RightKlikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04475874038428195332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22301740.post-54744528199716223452011-10-26T07:31:06.841-07:002011-10-26T07:31:06.841-07:00We are comparing two things here.

But I don't think he's a politician of any sort. <br /><br />Managers manage, direct or order. Politicians cajole, wheedle and deal. They sell themselves every day. This guy is clueless and has poor marketing skills. He has no consistent message. He's kinda tone deaf. And I don't trust him one bit. Like Barry, he's a wimp.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22301740.post-61347211602830302262011-10-26T06:34:40.353-07:002011-10-26T06:34:40.353-07:00This is kind of related to something a friend just...This is kind of related to something a friend just pointed me to today:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/23/magazine/dont-blink-the-hazards-of-confidence.html" rel="nofollow">The hazards of confidence</a>.<br /><br />It's a bit long, but basically it is about the problem that the people who most <i>think</i> that they know what they are doing, are generally the least competent. I'm afraid that Romney may fall in the category of not being as competent as he thinks he is.tim eiselehttp://somethingscrawlinginmyhair.comnoreply@blogger.com
