By analogy, his son Mitt's bid for the presidency has been more of a crinoline: long and cumbersome. The younger Mr Romney has been running for president for six years at least, since the waning days of his governorship of Massachusetts. He has proved doubters wrong by progressing as far as he has, in spite of his flip-flopping, his woodenness, his wealth and his Mormon faith. Yet he has not made it look easy, and is currently behind in the polls in an election that many pundits think is the Republicans' to lose. Mr Romney, who will officially be anointed the Republican nominee at the party's convention in Tampa on August 30th, is still very much in contention--but more by virtue of doggedness than flair. In the end Mr Romney prevailed partly by adopting a series of positions designed to please right-wing primary voters. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
