(From today's NY Times)
Mr. Romney warned his audience that unless the Republicans put up a candidate who could counter Mr. Obama’s message of change, “the same thing that happened to Hillary Clinton will happen to our nominee.”
“He just trounced her there because all that experience isn’t what they wanted to hear about — they wanted to see somebody who said they would do something new and change Washington,” Mr. Romney said.
“And,” he added, “we cannot afford Barack Obama as the next president. He’s a very nice fellow and he’s a well-spoken fellow, but he’s never done it.”
Oh right... I guess I'd forgotten the Romney presidency.**Yeah yeah, I know he's talking about experience in general, not necessarily experience in the presidency. Fine, just remember that a lot of people in MA would tell you that the reason Romney didn't run for re-election as governor of Massachusetts isn't that he wanted to run for president. It's that he would have lost, because he was a lousy governor who lied about his ideology to get elected.
