| Barack Obama 2012 Mitt Romney Campaign Poster |
Mitt Romney would be an acceptable candidate for the Democratic Party, and he would be a sublime candidate for the Reform Party; however, there are numerous reasons Mitt Romney should not be nominated to run for President as a Republican. Some examples include, his championing of socialized medicine, his creepy and cold personality, his lack of humor, his lack of support among conservatives, his lack of connection with the working class, etc.
All of these are excellent reasons why Mitt Romney should not be nominated to run as a Republican for President, but hey pale in comparison to the kiss of death delivered by one of the biggest losers to occupy the White House in the 20th Century. September 15, 2011, on MSNBC, Jimmy Carter stated he wants Mitt Romney to win the Republican nomination. Quite wisely, Carter thinks Romney will lose to Barack Obama, but Carter still thinks Romney at least deserves the nomination.
Jimmy Carter's motivations are unclear. Either Carter is intentionally torpedoing the Romney campaign by endorsing Romney, or Carter loves Obama, and he actually wants Romney to run against Obama, because he knows Romney will inspire the lowest Republican turnout in history, giving Obama at least a 70% chance of winning the general election,. Regardless, Jimmy Carter has inflicted horrible damage on Romney with this endorsement. The Romney campaign must be scrambling to minimize the harm of this humiliation.
