BloggeRhythms 2/25/2012

Sometimes I have to wonder exactly who it is a guy like Mitt Romney listens to for advice. Because, at the moment, he's the only candidate who has the capabilities to repair the nation's major ills, and yet he reduces himself to argue about social issues that really have no place in the campaign in the first place.

For example, at the moment he's working hard to establish himself as a true Conservative because he apparently feels quite threatened by Rick Santorum. However, Conservatism isn't the issue that's on the minds of most of the voting public. What's of most concern to them is the slow employment rate, an educational system that's in reverse, rapidly declining health care, and the rising cost of fuel.

What's more, for every vote that's gained by appealing to strict Conservatives, two or three others are likely lost from moderates and independents without whom an election can't be won.

So, the best thing Romney can presently do for himself is to start looking presidential on the major issues, which he happens to be very good at, and let everyone he's running against keep scaring the majority of voters off by themselves.

That's it for today folks.

Adios
