Romneymania
Very little this side of "attacked by velociraptors" could make me feel sorry for Mitt Romney, but it's a little pathetic watching his campaign catch fire like it's being sparked by Becky and Sundra. Four members of Romney's steering committee in Michigan (one of Mitt's eleven home states) are considering bailing out.
Why? Because he's an empty suit? Because he was as hard to find in Boston as a parking space this year?
No, it's because his "conservative credentials" are suspect. The problem is that, in order to win in Massachusetts, he had to voice the opinions that
- Gay people aren't all monsters, and
- Women might have brains in their heads,
which, of course, are positions you don't want to have attached to yourself if you hope to get anywhere in the Republican party. Thanks for playing, Mitt. You'll have all the vacation time you need now.
