The thing that strikes me about Romney is that he seems to want it so very, very bad.
I am guessing that his father's candidacy was instrumental in this. George Romney was doing quite well, and then he went to Viet Nam, and stated that he was now against after the war when he had been for it, because he had been "brainwashed". A poor choice of words, and the media pounced upon it as though the poor man had no brain at all.
In reality, most of the country was brainwashed until the Tet offensive. But the arms makers and the rightwing were not ready to lose their vast income from the war, and G. Romney was ignored from that moment on.
Unless he gets elected and then they get him drunk, I don't expect to hear Mitt comment on this.
