What advice would you give Mitt Romney?
22.05.12
FROM CNN's Jack Cafferty:
Mitt Romney has been running for president for six years – and he still can't seal the deal.
After losing the Republican nomination to John McCain in 2008, Romney became the presumptive nominee this time around.
The problem is, no one told the rank-and-file Republicans.
And instead of a coronation for Romney, Republican voters have spent the past year holding tryouts for candidates to fill the anyone-but-Romney slot.
They’ve gone from Rick Perry to Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich and now Rick Santorum.
And if Santorum's sweep this week didn't shake Romney up, it should have. Compared with Romney, Santorum has little money or organization. But conservative voters like him.
For many, the bottom line is that Romney just hasn't been able to connect. He is seen as out of touch, too scripted and even aloof.
Think about the infamous $10,000 bet he offered during one debate or his comment that he's not that worried about the very poor.
