They'll Tell You Who They Fear? Pelosi Declares She's Eager For Romney

Bullshit or Not?

I don't know. I know Romney has some significant problems. But all of our candidates do, and the guy I think has the fewest problems (all correctable, and being corrected) isn't getting traction.

The House’s top Democrat repeatedly jabbed at the former Massachusetts governor during an hour-long interview hosted by POLITICO and taunted the GOP for a slate of presidential contenders that she said was “not exactly what you would call the first string of the Republican Party.”

“If the far right thought that Romney could win, they might be more enthusiastic about him,” Pelosi told POLITICO’s Mike Allen during Tuesday’s Playbook Breakfast. “But they question what he stands for and they don’t think he’s going to win. So what’s the sell? I’m not sure he knows what he stands for, and that makes it harder too.”

“I don’t know who knows him,” she added of Romney. “Does he know him?”

Yup, Pelosi's right. There's no way a cerebral, emotionally-disconnected man who we really don't have a sense of could possibly win the presidency.

I mean, a competent version of that. An incompetent, feckless, depressive loser could of course win, as he did in 2008.
