A post Super-Tuesday observation…
By sage of monticello | February 6, 2008
From the Associated Press:
The [Romney] campaign has gone through repeated rebirths, with new themes and new campaign signs, new ads and new message strategies. Romney has tried to be the candidate of true fiscal, social and national security conservatism. He has tried to be the corporate executive candidate who understands the economy. He has tried to be the candidate of change, who will shake up Washington.
On Tuesday night, his rhetoric took on a previously unseen, almost Trotskyite tenor: “It’s time for the politicians to leave Washington and for we, the people, to take over!”
I think the overarching lesson from this oberservation (and McCain’s wins) is that Romney tried to be everything to everyone at one point or another and failed to grasp that all conservatives wanted was someone who was genuine.
Maybe is time to give it up, Mitt….
