To the Hilt

on romney

Leave it to a random commenter on WorldMagBlog to verbalize the feeling that has been lingering in the pit of my stomach since I first saw him on a debate:

"He's extremely photogenic, wife is gorgeous - as is his family - and, of course, he's worth a quarter of a billion to boot. From a political PR man's perspective, I suppose Romney is a Republican packaging dream. I also think Romney is the political equivalent of a bright, shiny object. If birds had voting rights in the US, no doubt they'd vote for him in flocks." - Scaramouche

Bright, shiny object, indeed.
