What Rhymes With Mitt?

I view Mitt Romney as a sympathetic figure. An incredibly decent man who was turned into a caricature by a corrupt news media who sacrificed their last shreds of integrity to whore out for the Democratic Party. With that stated, Romney lost an election he should have easily won and the only thing this guy can tell us now is how to lose.

Barack Obama was the worst and the weakest incumbent in US History. The 2010 midterms were a referendum on Obama and it was earth-shattering. The GOP started the 2012 election with a substantial lead and they blew it. We can blame the consultant class and all the usual punching bags but ultimately the blame goes to Mitt Romney.

Is Mitt Romney a Democrat in drag? Is he a high-placed Quisling? Why would we even suggest such character assassination? Maybe because Governor Romney was all too willing to work with a Democratic legislature at every turn. Maybe because he was brutal while opposing his GOP rivals but a doormat when he facing off against the Organizer-In-Chief. Some of us even entertain the idea that Romney took a dive.

So Mitt, are you going to tell us how to lose? We already have Jeb's wisdom at our disposal (and dispose we should.) If we want lo tap into the wisdom of the masters of failure we still have Bob Dole and John McCain to advise us. Some of us are sick of losing to losers. The GOP nominee will face either a woman who might need to amend her bail agreement to attend her party's convention or a senile sloganmeister who is still upset at how gruffly we treated the Rosenbergs. Mitt can yet snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
