The Anti-Romney Knives Come Out; Is Obamamania Quasi-Religious?
The dog days of summer are here in full measure, and there is not much out there related to The Question. As we head into the weekend, a couple of notes:
Blake Dvorak assembles some of the usual suspects (Philip Klein and Dick Morris) who have always been anti-Romney, who — surprise!– remain anti-Romney and continue to grind the same old axes: That Romney is not a real conservative (Klein), that he used mean and nasty tactics against the other candidates (Morris). Klein’s argument is the real laugher: “it was only because of Romney’s weakness among conservatives that [Mike Huckabee and Fred Thompson] had an opening.” Only someone with a visceral dislike of Romney could think so, and Klein certainly seems to qualify; he has had ideological issues with the Governor from day 1. Of course, nowhere do we find polling data supporting Klein’s argument. As for Morris, he’s never had a good word to say about Romney. I’m not sure why Dvorak find either of them worth quoting.
Finally, Gerard Baker offers a very Biblical-appearing take on the ongoing swoon for Obama. Read the whole thing, and enjoy your weekend!
