Establishment Enraged At Its Candidate, Romney

Establishment Enraged At Its Candidate, Romney

"…for the sake of not abandoning his faulty health-care legacy in Massachusetts, Mr. Romney is jeopardizing his chance at becoming President," the WSJ editorializes.

The editors have objected to Mitt Romney's lack of objection to Obama and the gang's framing of The un-Afforable Care Act as a tax. Capiche?

Romney is not remotely as coherent as the WSJ thinks he is in his most confused moments.

Mr. Romney should use the Supreme Court opinion as an opening to say that now that the mandate is defined as a tax for the purposes of the law, he will work to repeal it. This would let Mr. Romney show voters that Mr. Obama's spending ambitions are so vast that they can't be financed solely by the wealthy but will inevitably hit the middle class.

On the other hand, it is just possible that the WSJ is upset with the Romeny campaign for failing to hire as campaign adviser the ubiquitous Stephen Moore, popular commentator on Fox New and beyond, and author of "Bullish on Bush: How the Ownership Society Is Making America Richer."

"We're on its email list," they whine, "and the main daily message from the campaign …[simply won't cut it]."

Hint, hint.
