Objectively Unfit Mitt Romney Roundup (011408)

I am pleased to report that the word about Mitt Romney’s myriad weaknesses is spreading, and being enhanced by the contributions of others.

So this week I will have several daily links to others who have news about Objectively Unfit Mitt.

Let’s get started.

Romney in Seven Words — “Make all the promises you have to.”

I am aware of who wrote these comments at the Des Moines Register. Without revealing more than this person would prefer, I can say that there are circumstantial reasons to believe that the things this person alleges are true.

The allegations dovetail, and are made at least plausible, by what is documented in this vid:

Steve Forbes, Rudy, Romney, and the economy (link is direct to vid; HT EyeOn08) — the best 1:47 you’ll even spend on Romney’s economic record, as Steve Forbes explain why Rudy’s performance in NY City leaves Romney’s in Massachusetts in the dust:

Mitt Romney: The Huckster (ironic title, eh?) — I’m not a big fan of Rolling Stone, or even of a lot of the assessment of Romney in this Rolling Stone article. But Matt Taibbi does make a good point, despite himself: “….. if Romney makes it through the nomination process to face the Democrats, they will be sure to turn his career into a referendum on modern business practices. In many ways, Romney is a symbol of modern capitalism, a turbopowered Wall Street dice-roller who made his fortune by coldbloodedly gambling on the successes and failures of the companies he bought and sold from afar. Romney’s “business” wasn’t turning labor into product, it was turning money into money - and more than a few of his investments were of the scorched-earth variety, buying up companies and cashing out within three to five years, often after closing factories or laying off workers to beef up the bottom line.”

The Kos strategy — He wants Dems to cross over and vote for Romney (Michelle Malkin links to historical evidence that Kos has his history of similar GOP efforts in the early 1970s wrong).

So if Romney squeaks out a win on Tuesday, will he have to say, “I’d like to thank the Kossacks for their support”?
