Watching his acceptance speech, I realized that Mitt is Richard Nixon. He is a former Governor of a liberal state, trying to reconcile that with his desire to win the nomination of a conservative party.

And as I was watching his speech, his campaign’s decision, much like Hillary’s, to take much of the message of Obama, is like Nixon’s effort in 1960 to be what he was not: The Future. Mitt Romney exudes establishment and politics as usual. Nixon tried, as he wrote in his memoir, to be a Republican that could inspire people, but in 1960, especially against JFK, that wasn’t going to happen.

Now I am sorry that I haven’t been able to blog lately, and I certainly have a lot to say, but for tonight I will have to cut it short..

I will say that the Clinton campaign’s tactics, starting in NH and reaching a peak (which I’m sure they will rise above before this is all over) with the game they played with Florida. This is exactly what needs to end: The game-playing. The say-anything, do-anything, ends justify the means approach to politics of the Clinton’s. We need to end the game-playing and get to the problem-solving.

I will probably liveblog the Dem debate.

I hope all of my readers are doing well.
