Out on a Limb

I'm going out on a limb here. 


In my opinion, these are the major reasons - in no particular order - why Mitt Romney has yet to wrap up the Republican nomination for President (aside, of course, from the fact that, however obscenely overlong that "process" has already schlepped on, it's still "early days" for the national campaign): 


1. The Mormon thing (which shouldn't matter, but probably will to a large segment of the GOP base);


2. How shall I put this? He comes across as a life-size robotic Ken doll. Too blunt?

How about this one: If you put Romney in a line-up with Al Gore and John Kerry, Romney would come across as the wooden one?


3. People have this idea of Romney as a political man-whore who'll say anything to get elected, largely because . . . no, let's not go there.
