Romney Will Lose - Conservatives Deserve Obama, America Deserves A Dictator
Krauthammer on Romney: "He not only doesn't have a skeleton in his closet, he doesn't have a closet." July 2012
Charles is right. Romney is perhaps the cleanest and most respectable presidential candidate ever to run for the office. His millions were earned legally - taxes avoided were legal, etc.. But America doesn't want "clean" nor does she want competence. America is dumb and ignorant as a people, through and through and there is little real sign that she'll recover. We can wave the flag and sing country-twangin' patriotic songs everyday until the election to no avail; jingoism won't save us.
America wants charisma - thus Obama. Americans, including most of its voting conservatives, are products of incessant entertainment and competitiveness, ignore wisdom and seek the showy - the younger, the more apt the product. Romney's consultants are not focusing on these important differences, i.e., explaining that charisma has no substance - that this is the time for substance. In fact, they could have built their entire attack on Obama and the left as
substance less vs. the real and tangible effectiveness of Mitt Romney using his clean stalwart demeanor as a humorous confession but
preferred over Obama's slick oration and falsehoods.
Mitt Romney is so "not" charismatic that when he attempts to warm up to people it comes across as phony, "plastic," as some have said. Romney's great resume handling large financial matters is overshadowed by Obama's effective negative ads and Romney is generally too soft responding to these ads - to a painful point. Part of this civility to a fault is because he's a "churchy guy," not to offend, but too much church takes the fight out of a guy. I didn't say too much "God," please note - but
too much church.
Another reason Romney is too civil can be seen in his selection of staff - his spokeswoman, Andrea Saul, you know, the advisor/spokeswoman for McCain's losing campaign, is inept, proven in her incredulous response to the Joe Soptic liberal PAC ad. Rather than attack it's clear lack of veracity she suggested that Mr. and Mrs. Soptic would have faired well had they lived in Massachusetts under Romney Care. Wow, that's almost a campaign-losing box of ammo right there. Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh said it better.

Romney is very qualified as president to stop the bleeding, to work with both sides of the isle and quickly place America on the path to real prosperity. But as long as Obama's constituency grows with promises and programs paid for by money we don't have, utopia which they actually believe he'll deliver and the requirements to vote aren't much more than vital signs, get ready for King Obama for an indefinite number of years.
