Your average American just wouldn't want to have a beer with poor Mitt--he comes off as an artificial, automaton type of creature....a condescending, patrician, know it all seemingly bred from birth to be a major politician.
John Kerry, anyone?
Still, in the leadership vacuum today's GOP finds itself in, Mitt Romney stands the best shot to win the party's nomination in three years time. You see, the GOP powers that be usually go with the next guy in line for their president, no matter what type of baggage that candidate brings to the table...
Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bob Dole, and John McCain all lost bitter Republican nomination battles their first time running for president only to find redemption the next time around and emerge victorious.
Mitt Romney is filthy rich, he's 'the next guy' in line, and perhaps most importantly, there are virtually no other potentially credible Republican national candidates out there at this point.
Bobby Jindal looks like he's about 15 years old, and his nationally televised response to Barack Obama's first state of the union address went over like a fart in church.
John Ensign and Mark Sanford just got caught with their pants down. Newt Gingrich? Haley Barbour?? Umm...I don't think so. Both men carry more baggage than your average Samsonite outlet.
Who's left but Mitt Romney? Unfortunately for him and the GOP, he'll suffer the same fate that both Messers Gore and Kerry suffered when they ran for president.
You see, Americans want to have a beer with a guy they like--
