More Mitt Unelectability
Another day, another un-endorsement for Mitt Romney. The Manchester Union-Leader:
In this primary, the more Mitt Romney speaks, the less believable he becomes. That is why Granite Staters who have listened attentively are now returning to John McCain. They might not agree with McCain on everything, as we don't, but like us, they judge him to be a man of integrity and conviction, a man who won't sell them out, who won't break his promises, and who won't lie to get elected.Voters can see that John McCain is trustworthy. Mitt Romney has spent a year trying to convince Granite Staters that he is as well. It looks like they aren't buying it. And for good reason.
Not as harsh as the Concord Monitor's but I'm glad opinion makers are pointing out the obvious about Romney. Doesn't change the fact that I would still like him as the Republican nominee, although Mike Huckabee would be great in that capacity as well. A McCain resurgence, if for real, would be quite a serious threat on the other hand. And although it would validate my powers of prediction (I suggested either McCain or Gingrich would be the nominee last year), I wouldn't feel too good about it.
