As someone who isn’t immune to boosterism (Superman! Al Gore! Football!), Hugh Hewitt just kind of makes you cringe in embarrasment.
Hewitt had a series of interviews with the candidate, his friends and his family that led to the iconic portrait that occupies the first half of his book. Romney "stormed BYU" and "blitzed" Harvard’s business and law schools, and he learned that "the first order of business is business" on the way to raising a "Christmas card family." Hewitt is so enraptured with Romney, in fact, that he reads greatness in fairly mundane things. The candidate corrects anyone who introduces him as the valedictorian of his class at Brigham Young University. Romney makes sure they understand a fine distinction: He was a transfer from Stanford, so his GPA didn’t reflect four years at BYU. "His care about such a small detail reflects a recognition … that precision matters a great deal in campaigns," writes Hewitt.
I don’t know about you but I jammed myself in front of the computer, then my fingers whisked over the keyboard and then when my missive was complete I functionally engineered the remote posting of this blog entry. I blogged the eff out of it.

I know people who worked with Romney at Bain Capital. He is a magnificent leader, a quality boss and superb human being. I could imagine in another time when the Republican party wasn’t ruled by Religious fanatics and authoritarians that he could have become something of a Rockefeller Republican, a man I might have voted for.
Wow. Now THAT is fellatory. In a year, he’ll wish he wasted it on a candidate who actually had a shot, like Giuliani or McCain. No, wait, he’ll just write the same damn thing for one of them.
Why, with a President so absolutely wonderful there will really be no need any more for that quaint old Bill of Rights. Also, Clinton got a blow job and was bad.
‘Mormon in the White House’ from a moron on CNN.
Isn’t Romney at 3%? That’s less than the margin of error.
Attention to detail in his personal life means he doesn’t have the dirt other politicians have.
I am fed up with leaders who
can’t seem to get it right
no matter where they are.
If it isn’t Clinton, it is Bush and his alleged absence from NG drills. Spare me the
rehash, I just am making a point.
And that point is, I am ready to vote for someone who doesn’t have bodies in the closet and who is successful in the private sector.
