New Republic article on Mitt

[YOhio]

With this picture, you would assume it's a negative article. That assumption would be wrong, it's actually pretty complimentary though the picture is hilarious.

quote:

Midway through the Q&A, a hard-looking man named Ron gets up and says, ominously, that he has a comment and a question. The comment comes first: "I'm sick and tired of hearing from the left-wing media" about how the governor's religion disqualifies him from the presidency. The crowd breaks into heavy applause before Ron can even finish, and Romney looks relieved. Something I hadn't realized before this moment suddenly occurs to me: Romney's Mormonism may, in a perverse way, help him in a place like New Hampshire. Without it, he's just another well-spoken preppy with a square jaw. With it, he becomes instantly sympathetic, someone you can relate to--the victim of circumstances beyond his control. Everything about Romney may scream "overdog." But, at this moment, he is the opposite.

Why did you choose to quote that, Mike? I'm surprised you didn't accompany the quote with a snide remark or two about Romney.

Damn Lingo, that was a zinger! You've really stepped up your game.
