It's already clear he's no particular intellectual center. Mark Steyn's apt selection of a Romney response also reveals how little fire Mr. Romney has in him.
Running on platitudinous generalities, Mitt certainly betrays little sense that he grasps the scale of the crisis.At a time of great national moral and intellectual confusion, it sad that a man who's got a realistic shot at the Republican nomination and victory in the general election has so little substance to him.
After a fiery assault by Rick Santorum on Romney's support for an individual mandate in health care, Mitt sneered back at Rick that "it wasn't worth getting angry over." Which may be a foretaste of the energy he would bring to any course correction in Washington.[1]
He's arguably not a Democrat, has considerable business sense, and has a strong desire to be president. Is there anything more?
Four more years of radicalism and hatred of America or drifting, genial decency.

This is the neo-con Likudnik Mark Steyn who spent 8 years cheer leading the disastrous Bush Jr. administration. Say what you will about Mitt-he didn't lead us into a bloody, expensive and worthless war(Iraq), mismanage a war that needed to be fought and transforming it into a nation building fiasco in the heart of a nation filled with gravel, savages and pederasts (Afganistan) or lead us into the worst economic crisis since the great depression (Bush cheer leading minority home ownership with his butt buddy Barney Frank.)
Steyn should stick to snarky Broadway reviews and musicals. When it comes to international affairs he's no different than Hillary Clinton just slightly more amusing.
Obama is certainly a bum and I'll vote for anyone to defeat him but putting down Mitt when we had 8 years of such outright incompetence, neocon war mongering and fiscal mismanagement under W. is truly chutzpah. The end result was the election of an even bigger huckster fraud-the race baiter from Chicago. Whether it's Newt, Mitt, Paul or Santorum none would be as sub-moronic as that chickenhawk from Texas.
