Mitt's weakness

Krauthammer is right, unfortunately.  And here's a pluperfect example:

Mitt Romney: It’s not like the president can “precisely set the price at the pump”

Good grief, is he campaigning for Obama?  Or just providing useful quotes for the Obama Campaign?  Is he saying that the president can set prices, just not "precisely"?  There are so many things wrong with that quote you run out of fingers to count them on.

Romney comes out with one dumb gaffe after another, usually right after he's done something positive that should give him a bump up -- he repeatedly punctures his own balloon.  Pffffttt!  It's obvious that Mitt just has no knack for thinking on his feet. Worse, it appears to be something that can't be taught, at least to him.

If and when Mitt debates face-to-face against Obama, the only way I'll be able to stand watching is by peeking from behind the couch.  Paul Ryan would do fine in that contest, so would Marco Rubio, so would some others. But if Mitt does well I'll figure they've stuffed Newt Gingrich into a Romney Suit.

It's too bad, because I really do think Romney would be a very good president.
