http://spectator.org/archives/2012/02/23/the-mittens-come-off-in-mesa-- Romney remains the smarmy apple polisher who likes to narc on his misbehaving classmates -- one could almost see strings attached to the reinvented Republican's back. Romney is the semi-reformed RINO dummy of high-priced ventriloquists -- a dummy whose words and robotic jerks come from the pushing and pulling of scummy strategists and pollsters who crawl along a corrupt corridor from Boston to D.C. His "Fortune 500" campaign makes me sick. Is the GOP really going to nominate this fraud?
The cheapness and inauthenticity of his campaign is too depressing for words. One small example of this dismal charade came early in the debate when Romney made an utterly random reference to "George Costanza." Apparently, one of Romney's oh-so-clever strategists told him to dispel his image as a nerd trapped in the 1950s by spicing up his answers with "hip" references. So what does Romney do? He cites, for no apparent reason, a character from a sitcom that went off NBC's schedule over a decade ago.

all the politics out of it and disagreeing with the ideology...to me, he does have a calm demeanor and it's obvious he is
an intellectual, albeit with the wrong conclusions.
Although Romney may have scored points beating up on Santorum, he runs the risk of making himself sound
like a whining bully.
