PHANTOM

Timothy Egan looks for the real Romney in today's NYT.

Romney the Unknowable

This is a thoughtful but damning piece.

Egan shows how Romney has even made it impossible for himsef to tell his personal history (Mormon pioneers, fierce battles), talk about his business career (vulture capitalism) or even his somewhat positive career as a governor. (Romney Care!!!!).

He his hoist by his own petard.

You won't feel sorry for him.

He drips with disgust and disdain at gays.

He hates the unwashed millions who he will need to support him. "Those people". He is so out of touch that he can't even laugh honestly, the heh heh stage laugh, and certainly not at himself.
