The Economist Comes Out Against Mitt Romney
It would have been nicer to see this a year and a half ago, but still nice to see:
The presidency: So, Mitt, what do you really believe?: [C]ompetence is worthless without direction and, frankly, character. Would that Candidate Romney had indeed presented himself as a solid chief executive who got things done. Instead he has appeared as a fawning PR man, apparently willing to do or say just about anything to get elected…. [H]e is now committed to needlessly extreme or dangerous courses that he may not actually believe in but will find hard to drop… lack of details means that some attractive-sounding headline policies prove meaningless (and possibly dangerous) on closer inspection. Behind all this sits the worrying idea of a man who does not really know his own mind.
America won’t vote for that man; nor would this newspaper…
