Mitt Romney
September 30, 2012
This Politico article strikes me as accurately describing Governor Romney. I do not think he is a villain or that he would be an awful President, even if I do disagree with many of his current positions. A decade ago I viewed him as someone I might support for President in the future, but he has changed his positions so.
What the article doesn't question is if the failings they mention would in fact inhibit his governance not just campaigning, and I think they would. A President must do more than problem solve, the must be effective political strategists and tacticians and able communicators and story-tellers. Obama has clear limitations despite his great intellect, and I am certain that Romney would soon discover that you can't govern like a CEO.
The article left me thinking that he might be a very capable Cabinet secretary or advisor.
