Quin, we'll have agree to disagree. I've actually covered his
speeches and reported on many of them here and elsewhere (if you
have noticed I'm pretty interested in his candidacy) and what I'm
saying is nothing new: a zinger aimed at Michael Moore and a
defense of Scooter Libby does not a wonk make. He has set out no
tax, energy, spending or health care proposals and has yet to
sketch out his ideas on any of these issues, even in broad strokes.
"Be tougher on Iran" is a nice soundbite but Romney has given a
detailed address on the subject. Unlike Romney and McCain he has
given no substantive address on economics. Unlike Rudy he has
suggested no model for government reform or overarching governing
principles to shape his campaign.With no legislative record and no
executive experience this is a problem and Fred -heads or whoever
do him no favor by saying "everything is fine, perfectly fine." The
difference between a 30 second YouTube video and a full blown
agenda is substantial and I suspect a significant reason for his
delayed entrance.
