Willard "Mitt" Romney
The Perfect GOP Candidate
I've been chatting up Mitt (Willard) Romney for some time as the best candidate for the GOP nomination. Why? He's the perfect embodiment of what the GOP has become. He has a solid record as a moderate, pro-business leader with high ethical standards and he's decided to run away from these to cater to a small and ever more rigid core group of nut jobs we like to call "the base." If he's reminiscent of John Kerry in his flip-floppiness it's only because the GOP has become a hollow core of "Do as I Say, Not as I Do" leaders.
Look no further than this wonderful ad Andrew Sullivan linked to. Willard promises to fight "Indolence and Perversion" which I think means he just declared war on Senator Vitter.
