This month’s Harper’s Magazine has an interesting article, Making Mitt Romney, How to Fabricate a Conservative.
By all accounts, Mitt Romney is smart and pragmatic-not at all as vacuous, that is, as he has been made to sound. The irony is that in attempting to market him to the Republican base, his handlers have created a thorough phony. The “electorate is not where it needs to be for us to succeed,” his campaign PowerPoint had concluded; hence, the strategy has been to move Romney where he needs to be to succeed. It remains to be seen how well this will play in South Carolina.
Please share widely!
