NH paper: “Romney should not be the next president”
Mitt Romney had a bad weekend.
After spending most of the last few days trying to undo the lie he told about seeing his
father march with Martin Luther King, Jr, Romney woke up Sunday morning to find that one local New Hampshire paper had officially “un-endorsed” him and laid out the reasons why voters should reject his candidacy.
This from the Concord Monitor:
If you were building a Republican presidential candidate from a kit, imagine what pieces you might use: an athletic build, ramrod posture, Reaganesque hair, a charismatic speaking style and a crisp dark suit. You’d add a beautiful wife and family, a wildly successful business career and just enough executive government experience. You’d pour in some old GOP bromides – spending cuts and lower taxes – plus some new positions for 2008: anti-immigrant rhetoric and a focus on faith.
Add it all up and you get Mitt Romney, a disquieting figure who sure looks like the next president and most surely must be stopped.
By the way, this is the guy that’s going to make Don Carcieri Secretary of Education, ok?
