C'mon kids... catch up already!

Back in 2007, Mitt Romney was our most experienced, best bet.
But we still had the luxury back then of thinking about ... historical firsts. Helping out the black population by providing them a flesh-and-blood leader they could believe in... showing them that the rest of America indeed could vote for a black man for president, a gentler seemingly smarter version than Jesse Jackson.

Here we are 4 years later. The hopes and promises have been dashed... and the realities are setting in, by hook or by crook. The Supreme Court has been called on to assess the Constitutionality of the healthcare "master" plan, what happened when the policymakers and the pundits put their resources together to push something that the country didn't want and wasn't ready for...

(If you can't distinguish between the state government and the federal government in terms of responsibilities in caring for the health and welfare of its citizens, you've got basic homework to do.)

I'm glad to sit back, and not have to participate professionally in this current media kerfuffle. Safer to say, he should have been the country's preferred candidate in 2008. And if we've wised up and vote smarter this time around, he'll be the incoming president next year...

Poor paid professional media. They've got to continue pretending that the rest of the field is credible, and c'mon now: aside from the pundits, who took Cain, and the rest of the field seriously, except to plug their own bit of political performance nonsense?

ADDED: I have to chuckle a bit at the pretentiousness of he who writes for the NYTimes, but seemingly doesn't participate much in political conversation elsewhere in the country.

Obviously, as a charter member of the inevitability caucus, I think Romney will be the nominee under just about any scenario.

Lol. The "charter member" link goes way back to ... October 23, 2011.

Funny thing is, for an aged intellectual like Ross Douthat (he's a young 32), I suspect he was being serious in thinking he was wise ... 3 whole months ago.

Careful going out on those limbs so early Ross... with your kinda weight, best to let lighter and more limber others test things out first. Your types tend to shimmy up the trunk after only after others have shown it's ... "safe". But welcome, nonetheless, Mr. ... "charter member".
